SUMMER SPRITZERS & ORGANIC

Before you launch into creative mode, here’s a few tips to get you prepped for making unforgettable organic beverages.

1. Use organic natural sweeteners: Opt for natural sweeteners like honey, agave, or maple syrup to enhance flavours without any nasty artificial additives.

2. Chill ingredients before blending: Keep fruits, herbs, and juices refrigerated for optimal freshness and taste & dried fruit garnishes well-sealed in a jar.

3. Add fizz: Top off your spritzers with sparkling mineral water or soda water for a bubbly finish.

4. Choose quality dried fruit garnishes or fresh, in-season produce. Select aromatic dried garnishes or ripe, flavourful fruits and herbs as the base for your drinks.

5. Experiment with flavour combinations. Create unique blends by mixing fruits, herbs, and spices. Try strawberry-basil or watermelon-mint for a refreshing twist or simply add dried fruit garnishes to chilled organic fruit juice or sparkling mineral water.

• Taste & Quality: You get to customise your own flavour combinations to suit your preferences, ensuring a delicious drink every time. You're also in control of every ingredient that goes into your drink.
• Enviro-Friendly: Rather than buying plastic or glass bottles of pre-made drinks, use jugs you have at home or reusable containers to create your own drinks – you can also use old glass jars to pour drinks into so there’s even less waste. Cheers to that!
