Princes has released a duo of premium drinks, Princes Botanicals, made with botanical extracts such as lemongrass and cardamom. Its new line-up of flavours includes Apple, Pineapple and Lemongrass, featuring a light citrus aroma with a hint of floral notes, and Apple, Mango, Passionfruit and Cardamom, a blend of tropical fruits with a hint of cardamom. The range is made from not-from-concentrate juices and accounts for one of your five-a-day with each pack containing approximately 5 x 200ml servings. Princes Botanicals drinks are also packaged in fully recyclable cartons, making it easy to dispose of them responsibly. Simon Stokes, senior development chef at Princes, said: “At a time when shoppers are looking for alternatives to traditional beverages, Princes Botanicals are a must-try – especially for those who like the unique and authentic taste of botanical plants. He continued: “This announcement is another exciting one for Princes, as we continue to innovate and provide a broad range of delicious, affordable options for our customers.” Each drink has an RRP of £2.50 and can be found in selected UK retailers.
