Their Cornish Cola stands out for its distinctive flavour, enhanced with a blend of herbs and spices - now also available in a zero-sugar version. This summer, Jolly’s added even more variety with the launch of Sparkling Orange, a refreshing mix of zesty citrus and subtle botanicals. Whether you're after something sweet, zingy or classic, Jolly’s has a flavour to brighten every summer moment. My favourite - their Cornish Cola.

We tried the Mexican Lime flavour and absolutely loved it. It’s zesty, refreshing and delivers a citrusy snap that’s perfect for sunny days. Whether you're on the move, skipping the booze, or just in need of a boost, this one’s definitely worth cracking open.

Recognised across Europe for its rapid growth and award-winning products, the brand continues to push boundaries with research-led formulas designed to support balance, health and mindful living in today’s fast-paced world.
Goodie fermented drinks from Cannumo stand out for their unique blend of science-backed benefits and pure, natural ingredients. Each shot is packed with 96 strains of live, stomach-friendly bacteria, making it one of the most powerful gut-support drinks on the market.
Designed to improve digestion, reduce bloating, and support immunity, energy and even skin health, Goodie is a convenient and effective way to care for your gut - just two small shots a day is all it takes.

We tried two of their bold flavours - Sea Buckthorn and Blackcurrant - and both impressed us. The Sea Buckthorn flavour has a refreshing citrus tang with tropical and tart-berry notes, softened by mild herbs and hints of honey-like florals. It's zesty, well-balanced and incredibly refreshing. The Blackcurrant flavour is more intense, offering a deep, dark berry aroma with layers of roasted nuts, figs and subtle herbs. Its rich, slightly acidic profile is rounded off with just the right amount of sweetness. Both drinks are complex, flavourful and a real treat for the tastebuds - and the gut!

The winery follows planet-friendly practices such as pesticide-free growing, careful water use and hand-harvested grapes, so every bottle is kind to nature as well as delicious.

The flavour is light and fresh, with notes of strawberry and ripe plum balanced by crisp acidity, giving a clean, lingering finish.
