Bottle Green Elderflower Cordial

I don't know about you, but I am not a fan of squash or fruit flavoured drinks. So on a warm summer's day, if I don't fancy water (or wine, or maybe a Pimms, or.....) what can I drink to quench my thirst? Not so long ago I was introduced to 'bottlegreen' elderflower cordial, and this for me, is the quintessential English summer drink. ~Who are 'bottle green'?~ Bottle green are a relatively new company that began in 1989. The factory is situated in a tiny village in the heart of the Cotswolds. Elderflower Cordial was the companies first product and they now produce a range of wonderful soft drinks, sorbets and lollies. "At ...  Read the complete review

I got a bottle of this because I was getting bored of my usual Robinson's orange cordial and about a month ago I had quite a bad cold and had taken to having hot cordial at work and wanted something that actually tasted nice hot. I got it from Sainsburys, my usual supermarket is Morrisons and I've never seen it for sale there, so I don't think it is that easy to find.

Bottle Green Elderflower Cordial: For me nothing tastes like summer more than Elderflower Cordial. I can remember having my first glass at the 'North Somerset Show', (an agricultural show surprisingly enough in North Somerset), when I was about seven. It was the most delicious thing I had ever tasted! Years later I discovered Bottle Green Elderflower Cordial, (they also do a presse but it isn't as nice), and I occasionally treat myself to a bottle. The Bottle Green Cordial comes in a beautiful, conical, green glass bottle that holds 500ml. It is a really lovely bottle to look at with a beautiful picture of an elderflower on the front. Being ...  Read the complete review

Elderflowers have antiviral properties, they can lower temperature and reduce inflammation. Flowers contain rutin, a chemical compound which improves blood circulation and can lower the risk of heart disease. They are rich in tannin, too.
