Sparkle gets added to Bottle Green

The latest addition to Bottle Green Drinks is: 'Elderflower Sparkling'  a limited edition drink to celebrate the elderflower season!

So at its most basic Elderflower Sparkling is a combination of hand picked elderflowers mixed with Cotswold spring, sparking water for a refreshing, crisp, thirst quenching taste - making a delicious summer taste.

The clear drink comes with an elegant special limited edition bottle from Bottlegreen (which could be used after maybe as a vase for a single flower). The bottle reflects the quintessentially British season, the eye-catching and sophisticated new design is reflective of the characteristics of Bottlegreen’s elderflower cordial and sparkling drink. Elderflower Sparkling is Guaranteed to add a touch of glamour to your AL-fresco gathering.

To serve:

 Dilute the cordial with a jug of cool still water or, if you prefer a touch of fizz, simply pour the pressé over ice. 

For a stylish addition to your drink, freeze elderflower flowers in ice cubes before adding the floral cubes to your glass. 

As well as being the ultimate thirst-quencher, the versatile elderflower range is perfect for injecting a burst of the distinct, fragrant elderflower flavour into sweet and savory dishes, why not drizzle over a fresh fruit salad or add to a marinade or dressing!  

An added bonus to this drink is with every limited edition bottle purchased you’ll have the opportunity to win a fantastic floral prize to let you truly celebrate elderflower season. You could win a selection of prizes including a beautiful floral bouquet, a stylish Bottlegreen hamper, a RHS Gardening book.

Time for a Food Review

Bigger is Better

Everything is bigger in the U.S.A especially there muffins - try them from The New York Bakery Co (they don't just make bagels you know)

They have got two delicious flavours 'double cholocolate' filled with chocolate chunks topped off with dark chocolate chips.

If chocolates not your thing try the blueberry flavour, juicy and moist muffin with real blueberries (Superfruit ALERT) and they are topped of with yummy crumble.

These large muffins are a perfect indulgent treat.

Get your snack on the go

Now I hate the breakfast bars and anything really that tries to be chocolate and isnt, but these healthy treats from Nakd are actually really nice - no more cardboard taste thank you very much! With a wide range of flavours like,cocoa delight, cocoa mint, cocoa orange, berry delight, peacan pie and cashew cookie (our fave).

Price: £2.55

Some other treats from the Nakd range are their infused raisins, 'tangy lime' or 'crazy cola' - yes raisins did just get a bit better.

These raisans are tottally moreish and completely natural with no added sugar fat free and only contains 68 calories and if thats not enough they also count as one of your 5 a day!

Price: 39p

New Summer Slurp

Try bottlegreen's new exotic lime & coconut.

Fresh and fruity you do need to add a good helping of the cordial to taste the flavours - but its a godsend on hot summers day (I am hoping we will get more of these days!!!!)

TOP TIP - The cordial can also be added to cocktails like Piña Colada

Price: £3.15 - Available at Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tesco's

Moving on to the alcohol

I recently tried Merrydown cider not only does it taste good, it's been going for a whopping 65 years and it's award-winning taste come from a recipe that includes apples fermented with yeast from the Champagne-Ardennes region.

Our mouth's our now watering!!!
