Drinks were something that we (Oli & Ash) started dabbling with in 2018 when we tried to create an all-natural, fiery, alcoholic ginger beer. This didn’t quite go to plan, and to those that were unfortunate enough to taste our prototypes, we apologise – one day we will nail an awesome recipe and you can drink as much of the good stuff as you like!
Despite starting with a flop, this kickstarted some mad scientist style experimentation with all sorts of drinks. If you can think of it, we probably tried it: beer, cider, kombucha, wild fermentations, shrubs, water kefir, milk kefir, alcohol infusions and sodas. Although we really enjoyed a lot of these, it was the sodas that were the standout winners. We were getting great feedback from our volunteer taste testers, and quickly realised we could drink them straight up, with a splash of something stronger, or in a snazzy cocktail – yes, we’ll be sharing these ideas on our blog.
