Spring brings brighter days, terrace season, and celebrations where the drinks offering should be fresh, easy, and visually appealing, all at once. The nre Pure Lemonades flavours have been created exactly for this: they work perfectly on their own, but also adapt easily into mocktails and cocktails without unnecessary hassle. 

Our new flavours:

  • Raspberry-Mint
  • Strawberry-Cherry
  • Orange-Lemon

The key benefits of the Pure Lemonades range, in brief: 

  • Quick to serve: Easy to prepare by diluting with still or sparkling water, and drink recipes only require a few ingredients. 
  • Versatile: The same flavour works as a non-alcoholic drink, a cocktail, or a punch. 
  • Consistent quality: The same taste from one glass to the next, even at higher serving volumes. 
  • Seasonality and trends: Fresh fruits, mint, and cherry are reliable favourites for spring and summer. 

In this blog, you can find six easy and delicious recipes to take your seasonal celebrations and terrace offering to the next level.
