Dry January was most definitely not on my radar this year. I appreciate some people like to do it to ‘reset’ the new year and to kick start their healthier journey but, I’m not going to lie, this lockdown is kicking my ass. I’m not over drinking, but I certainly appreciate the odd G&T to help get me through the weeks! If you’re not like me, or if you are after a new premium soft drink to try, I can recommend Belvoir Farm Drinks.
Belvoir Farm is hidden away behind wild hedgerows and unruly shrubs in the Vale of Belvoir, deep in the Leicestershire countryside. They make a range of cordials and ready made drinks using natural flavours, hand picked flowers and fresh juices. You may have seen their cordials in the supermarket, and I regularly buy their elderflower cordial to add to my gin. What I didn’t know is that it was first made 40 years ago in the owner of Belvoir Farm’s kitchen! Something I hadn’t seen before is their sparkling drink range.
In the same way as the cordials, the sparkling drinks are made using the freshest ingredients that Belvoir Farm can get and very little is added to allow the flavours to talk for themselves. The sparkling apple juice, for example, is made using 100% Pink Lady apples with no added sugar. The beautiful pink colour speaks for itself and the flavour is less tart than other apple juices, yet with a lovely sweetness that you will have come to know well from the Pink Lady apple variety.
I know I am talking about dry January, but a spiced gin in the sparkling apple juice works really well too. It’s all about balance after all.
You can find where to buy Belvoir Farm sparkling drinks on the Belvoir Farm website and prices start from £2.50.
