As the mercury rises and Dorset’s sun-drenched landscape beckons, staying hydrated is a top priority. But let’s be honest: endless glasses of water or sugary fizz can get a bit dull.
This summer, why not refresh your taste buds with something truly special? The Dorset Ginger Company offers a range of soft, still drinks that are as vibrant as they are revitalising—perfect for your summer gatherings and daily hydration.
A Ginger Twist on Tradition
Ginger has long been celebrated for its digestive benefits and fiery, earthy flavour. What’s less known is just how cooling and refreshing a well-crafted ginger drink can be in the heat. The Dorset Ginger Company has mastered this balance, offering 11 unique varieties to suit every palate.
Whether you prefer the subtle warmth of Mellow Ginger, the bold kick of Original or Strong Ginger, or the robust intensity of Extra Strong Ginger -the strongest non-alcoholic ginger drink in the UK—there’s a bottle to match your mood.
Pure, Natural and Inclusive
Each drink in the range is crafted with care, blending the finest ginger with ‘not from concentrate’ fruit juices like rhubarb, apple, and raspberry for refreshing, fruity combinations. There are no artificial flavours, preservatives, colourings, or sweeteners. Plus, all drinks are gluten-free and vegan, making them a guilt-free choice for everyone.
More Than Just a Cordial
These artisan drinks are still, but far from ordinary. Enjoy them straight from the bottle over ice for a pure, zesty experience, or dilute with sparkling or still water, lemonade, or fruit juice for a lighter, yet equally flavourful, sip. The versatility means you can tailor each drink to your taste—and the occasion.
