Britvic Amé

Looking around the supermarket for something non-alcoholic for the party season I spotted a drink called Amé on the shelves. This drink is part of the Britvic range and is an alcohol-free beverage that contains no refined sugars, preservatives, sodium, or artificial colors. As it was available in Tesco as a 'buy one get one free' offer (otherwise known as a BOGOF) I thought this was an excellent opportunity to try this particular drink. It is a refeshing drink when served chilled and has a base of natural fruit juices, sparkling water, and herbal extracts. The herbal extracts are Schizandra, Jasmine, Gentian, and Limeflower. There are four flavours within the ...  Read the complete review

I don't like alcohol, although I have never tasted it. Even when I was a child I have always had the same anti-alcohol opinion. I have never liked the look or the smell of it; alcohol was always related to drunken people to me! As an example let me relate an old experience I had when I was growing up as a teenager: I went out with my friends and of course they hit the nearest public bar in the town. I went into the taverna with them and the first thing that came to my senses was the horrible smell of the alcohol. It was outrageously strong - I can't describe the smell - and I nearly fainted. What made it worse was that a drunken man fell on my feet and lost ...  Read the complete review

I expect everyone has been the "driver" at some point and had to abstain from alcohol during the evening. In my case my husband doesn't drive, so I'm always abstaining (or it seems that way)! And when you are gagging after your fourth Coke in a row, you long for something that isn't THAT sweet. Then you discover that there is not a lot of choice: fruit juice (very sweet); coke, lemonade, tango etc (all very sweet); appletise, various grape-juice derived drinks (also very sweet) or water (no taste at all and guaranteed to make you feel out of place among the drinkers).. So you can imagine how pleased I was to discover Amé, a group of non-alcoholic ...  Read the complete review

Relaxing in the sun with a glass of chilled white wine is an experience many of us enjoy, but what can a host offer instead if a guest is driving, or does not want to drink alcohol. Amé fits the bill. There were two varieties on sale, I choose the White one. There was a red, which had raspberry, and I think blackberry in it, but I thought the white would be more suitable. *The Bottle* This is no sexy lady. All is revealed. Clear glass, quite a big bottle to hold with one hand as it is 8.5cm in diameter, and over 30cm tall. It has a short neck and wide shoulders, and goes in slightly at the waist where a glass ribbon with three bows, does help ...  Read the complete review

I love Britvic Ame. It is a fruit flavoured fizzy drink in a glass bottle to make it look posh and make you feel like you are drinking something grown up, posh and alcoholic. It is not alcoholic but is a great alternative if you cannot or do not want to drink. The taste is really light and fruity. It can sometimes leave an aftertaste and it is a little moorish. I can easily drink a whole bottle, which leaves me feeling quite gassy. The taste is a little like Shloer but not as fruity. Although in terms of flavour, I would prefer the strong fruitiness of Shloer, Ame is much better for you, as it contains all natural ingredients. There ...  Read the complete review
