Who is to argue what Victorian lemonade actually tastes like? Is there anyone out there that has survived the Victorian period that can tell me? Where is Mrs Beetson when you need her?! At first sight, Fentiman's Traditional Victorian Lemonade looks like an inspiring choice for an alternative cool drink perfect for summer days. It looks interesting because in the cooler store in my local Co Op supermarket, you can see bits floating around at the bottom and clear as crystal or a summer's day, depending on how you see it, it looks like a bottle that definitely needs shaking before it comes alive.

Fentimans Victorian Lemonade Description: Victorian Style lemonade / Fermented botanical lemon drink with ginger and herbal extracts. http://www.fentimans.com I had never heard or or tried Fentimans drinks until I moved to Newcastle 5 years ago.
