Giveaway:
Win an English Garden Belvoir Fruit Farms & Sophie Conran Hamper worth £63
Are you ready for summer, I am! And what better to get you in the mood than a fabulous English Garden themed giveaway. I am delighted to offer all Lavender and Lovage readers the opportunity to win a little bit of summer, the LOVELY folks over at Belvoir Fruit Farms as well as the LOVELY Sophie Conran have offered me a wonderful hamper of goodies…….I have a case of selected Belvoir Fruit Farms Cordials up for grabs, as well as some summer Sophie Conran Gifts, a Gardener’s Enamel Mug and matching notebook journal, the combined total is worth £63.
Everything in the Garden is Lovely with Belvoir Fruit Farms
If you’re looking for a drink that speaks of warm sunny days in the garden, then check out Belvoir Fruit Farms’ new range of delicious cordials and pressés which are bursting with the fresh taste of ripe summer fruits and delicate scented rose petals. Just one sip and your taste buds will be whisked away to a secret haven on a beautiful summer’s day. Like all Belvoir products, the five new varieties are made using only the finest, freshest ingredients with no artificial flavours, sweeteners or preservatives.
Blueberry & Blackcurrant Cordial 50cl
The crisp juice of ripe blackcurrants blends with the pressed juices of real blueberries resulting in a deliciously balanced richly fruity blend that’s great for children and adults. Better than that, not only does this cordial taste fantastic but both blueberry and blackcurrant juices are known for being high in anthocyanins which promote health.
Rhubarb & Strawberry Cordial 50cl
This cordial contains masses of real pressed English rhubarb juice and pressed whole strawberries – a distinctly classic English combination. The sharp crispness of the rhubarb blends brilliantly to lighten the heady summer scented sweetness of the strawberries to give a delightful aromatic cordial. Simply delicious served with sparkling or still water and guaranteed to quench your thirst.
Cranberry & Raspberry Pressé 75cl
The dry, crisp taste of cranberry juice is lifted by the fresh fruity taste of real raspberry juice to make a delightful blend with a crisp yet sweet fruity taste. An instant refresher for when you’ve been busy in the garden.
Elderflower & Rose Pressé 75cl
The delicate scented taste of elderflower blends deliciously with the heady floral taste of rose petals. This pretty pink, lightly sparkling drink smells and tastes divine, blending to perfection the evocative aromas of two classically English flowers.
Cherry Pressé 25cl
Made from masses of real pressed Morello cherry juice this delicious distinctive crisp cherry tasting sparkling drink is a sophisticated twist on a childhood classic. Ideal served chilled on its own for a fruity refresher or mixed with vodka for a stunning cocktail.
So go on, give yourself a lift and try Belvoir’s delicious homage to an English Country Garden – a scene of thatched cottages covered in roses, white picket fences, cherry orchards and bees busy in the flowerbeds and strawberry patch while you doze in a deckchair!
