Summer Foods &#038; Drinks Feature Segment! For Everyday, Events and for Parties!

The UK’s leading juice brand launches its first-ever range of high fibre ‘drinkable fruit’, revitalising the UK from awake-to-alive with every drop!

June 2019: Get more from your breakfast-time juice! With two in three Brits not managing to consume at least five-a-day AND fewer than 10 per cent achieving the recommended daily fibre intake*, Tropicana introduces its new Whole Fruit range. Packed with more nutrition from the whole fruit than ever before, thanks to a new and unique process that makes more of the whole fruit drinkable – available in both apple and orange flavours.

Tropicana’s new velvety rich and delicious juice drink range makes it super easy and convenient to get one of your five-a-day in every portion – not to mention, they are also high in fibre!

Feel alive with this ground-breaking new approach to juicing 100% fruit, which contains everything but the pips and peel. Whole Fruit is the UK’s first drink to be crafted using a process of scooping which is exclusively owned by Tropicana, the UK’s most loved brand – opposed to simply just squeezing – bringing to life more nutrients from the whole fruit.

Keeping in check with your recommended maximum daily intake of juice has never been easier than with the Tropicana Whole Fruit 150 ml bottle! This handy on-the-go sized bottle contains enough tasty juice in each portion to ensure you stay within the responsible daily consumption. In addition to the 150 ml, the new drink comes available in other convenient formats, ideal for every occasion:

On-The-Go Bottle (150 ml) – RRP* £1.49 At-Home Bottle (750ml) – RRP* £3.29
Multipack (4 x 150ml) – RRP*** £3.29
Caroline Wilding, Brand Manager at Tropicana comments: “We know that life can be extremely busy, so much so, we often struggle to stay on top of a healthy lifestyle! We launched the new Tropicana Whole Fruit range because, unlike any other juice, it contains more of the natural goodness of the whole fruit than ever before. So now you can enjoy the convenience of a delicious, velvety drink that contributes one of your recommended five a day and gives a little boost of fibre.”

The new Whole Fruit range is available across the UK at all major supermarket retailers.

NOW IN SEASON
We have a confession. Strawberry Hells isn’t really forever. Because we brew this beer with British strawberries, we can only make it in the summer. So while it’s tart, crisp and well rounded, it’s not around for long. We could have called it ‘Strawberry Hells sometimes’ but it didn’t have the same ring to it.

From triple pickles to sauce mixers, Deliveroo reveals how burger loving Brits personalise their Five Guys patties

There are over 250,000 different ways you can personalise a Five Guys burger on Deliveroo
Cambridge crowned as the home of the biggest Five Guys superfans who order on Deliveroo in the UK, followed by Oxford, then Brighton
This week Deliveroo will be launching free delivery on all Five Guys orders on the 4th July.

This Independence Day, Deliveroo is taking a moment to appreciate the most popular American dish ordered on the platform: the burger.

But it turns out, for such a traditional dish, there are thousands of options when it comes to personalising it. This week, Deliveroo is teaming up with Five Guys to reveal the different ways in which burger lovers around the country are adding their own spin on the classic bun and patty combination.

The most popular Five Guys burger in the UK right now is the Bacon Cheeseburger – but with thousands of combinations of ingredients on offer, freshly prepared and cooked to order, what about the regional preferences? Burger-loving Brummies are 3X more likely to order an extra patty in their bun, whereas people in Edinburgh are the most likely to go bunless, instead opting for a lettuce wrap. Glaswegians will add the most toppings (on average, 8), but when it comes to pickles – the people of York are adding the most.

Getting saucy:

When it comes to condiments, London, Bristol, Cambridge and Newcastle are the cities who like to mix their sauces – the most popular combination being ketchup and mayo. Liverpudlians like to add a BBQ kick to their ketchup, Londoners like to add mayo and hot sauce and Brighton are often adding ketchup to their mustard. But some cities keep it simple; Edinburgh is loyal to the trusty mustard, Oxford stays with mayo and Swansea can’t get enough of BBQ sauce.

Who can handle the heat? The list of cities who add hot sauce to the most orders:

London (Londoners are 6x as likely to add hot sauce to their burgers)
Birmingham
Aberdeen
Liverpool
Brighton

Who goes bunless? The cities most likely to trade the bread for the light lettuce wrap on the Deliveroo app:

Edinburgh
Colchester
Bristol
Cambridge
York

The superfans – the Deliveroo areas that order the most Five Guys of all:

Cambridge (city with the most customers who order Five Guys on Deliveroo twice a day!)
Oxford
Brighton
London
Swansea

Shake it off: These cities are the biggest fans of the Five Guys freshly blended shakes, and with over 1,000 possible combinations to be had, here are some of the most creative serves:

Newcastle loves a Cherry, Vanilla, Peanut Butter and Bacon
Chelmsford have a taste for Vanilla, Bacon and Strawberry
Brighton adds a Coffee kick to a fruity Cherry Shake
Glasgow guzzles Chocolate, Vanilla, Salted Caramel – don’t forget the Oreo Pieces
Bristol goes neopolitan with a Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate mix

Gin-tastic!!!

ALDI IS GINVINCIBLE AT WORLD-RENOWNED COMPETITION

Aldi’s Spirits range has scooped 24 medals in 2019 to date

Supermarket Aldi has triumphed once again, taking home three accolades at this year’s Spirits Business Gin Masters. A coveted ‘Masters’ title, the highest distinction available, was awarded to the Greyson’s Seville Orange & Persian Lime Gin (£14.99), beating off stiff competition from bottles costing up to two times the price.

The nation’s love of flavoured gins has yet to slow down, with a staggering 66 million bottles sold in 2018 alone.

Retailing at £14.99, Aldi’s Greyson’s Seville Orange & Persian Lime Gin is 40% of the price of Tanqueray Flor De Sevilla Gin, offering shoppers a huge £10 saving on the trendy citrus based drink.

Shoppers will also be glad to hear that the supermarket’s bestselling tipples; Harrison’s Gin (£15.99) and Passionfruit Gin Liqueur (£9.99) also took home coveted Gold and Silver medals respectively, continuing their winning streak having already scooped both a silver and bronze medal at this year’s International Spirits Challenge.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “It’s an incredible achievement to be recognised for our gin range at such a prestigious competition, not only once, but three times! We’ve seen the trend for flavoured gins become increasingly popular over the last few years and we’re thrilled to see that the quality of our products makes them stand out from the crowd with both our loyal customers and gin connoisseurs alike.”

SALCOMBE GIN LAUNCHES MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED GIN
‘ROSÉ SAINTE MARIE’ FOR SUMMER 2019

Adventurous and luxurious Salcombe Gin, which embraces life on and around the water, is releasing ‘Rosé Sainte Marie’, a new Mediterranean inspired gin. Available from early July, this exceptional dry rosé gin is being positioned alongside its flagship multi award-winning London Dry Gin ‘Start Point’.

Named after the iconic ‘Sainte Marie’ lighthouse which marks the Southern entrance to the Old Port of Marseille, from where 19th century Salcombe Fruit Schooners would load citrus fruits and herbs bound for England’s ports. ‘Rosé Sainte Marie’ is inspired by the aromas, flavours and lifestyle of the South of France and is a celebration of adventure, colour, freshness and joy; capturing the vibrant spirit of the Mediterranean coast.

Angus Lugsdin, co-founder of Salcombe Distilling Co, comments: “We’re extremely excited to launch this exceptional gin, our second commercial release, exactly three years after the launch of ‘Start Point’. With so many overly sweet and synthetically coloured gins in the market, we set out to elevate the category by creating a dry pink gin with no added sugar, a nod to the crisp and dry rosé wines from Provence. The recipe draws inspiration from the heritage and trading routes of the Salcombe Fruit Schooners and the citrus fruits and herbs they carried back to England.”

Salcombe Gin ‘Rosé Sainte Marie’ is a delicate, fresh and truly exquisite gin, reminiscent of a balmy summer’s evening sat outside on the terrace of your favourite restaurant, watching the world go by. Fragrant notes of fresh lemon peel and Provence herbs are complemented by the natural sweetness of red fruit and the distinctive perfume of white flowers and orange blossom carried on a sea breeze. Lavender and lemon verbena, along with a hint of white pepper, add subtle finesse. On the palate it has fullness and intensity whilst remaining smooth with an endearing and lingering softness to finish.

Traditional juniper provides structure in the background partnered with a natural, but not overpowering, soft sweetness from strawberries and angelica. Twelve further hand sourced botanicals including lemon verbena, fresh lemon and orange peels, rose petals, orange blossom and pink peppercorns are combined to create a truly exceptional gin that is elegantly soft and smooth.

‘Rosé Sainte Marie’ can be enjoyed from the beginning to the end of a meal, as an aperitif or a digestif, on the beach or beside the pool, but always when you need a little Mediterranean sunshine in your life.

It is purposefully dry in style, with no added sugar, letting the consumer control their desired level of sweetness of their G&T through their selection of mixer and garnish. For the ultimate pink G&T using Salcombe Gin ‘Rosé Sainte Marie’, simply fill a large wine glass with ice and add a large measure of gin to three parts premium Indian tonic water. Garnish with a slice of strawberry to accentuate the bouquet of red fruit or a twist of fresh lemon peel to bring the fragrant citrus to the fore.

‘Mix it Up for Summer’ with the Jägermeister Mule cocktail

A light and refreshing mix of Jägermeister with Ginger Beer

July 2019 This summer Jägermeister is introducing the Jägermeister Mule, a refreshing mix of Jägermeister, ginger beer, cucumber and lime with slightly spicy after notes. The cocktail is the brand’s meisterful reinterpretation of the classic Moscow Mule, with a twist.

Florian Beuren, UK Brand Ambassador at Mast-Jaegermeister UK explained. “The flavours in the Jägermeister Mule work together in harmony to create a really refreshing serve that lets the signature taste of Jägermeister come through. Ginger is one of the core five ingredients in Jägermeister so the ginger beer works well to amplify this. The addition of lime and cucumber balances the fiery tones of the ginger resulting in a simple yet complex serve.”

The cocktail is now available at some of the most exciting bars in the capital including Night Tales, Aqua Shard, Tramp, NT’s and Liquorette amongst others, plus you can find it at over 800 bars across the UK.

Jägermeister Mule is also perfect for creating an exciting but simple serve at-home to enjoy during pre-drinks, with a special brunch, or at a summer BBQ. In supermarkets limited edition bottles will come with a free ginger beer voucher plus a guide to creating the perfect Jägermeister Mule at home.

About Jägermeister:

Jägermeister, the unique herbal spirit known for its iconic bottle was developed by Curt Mast from a secret recipe 80 years ago. A blend of 56 different herbs, blossoms, roots and fruits from all over the world, this undisclosed recipe has not changed since it was first made. The pure and natural botanical ingredients are extracted in their raw, unprocessed form through a gentle, weeks-long process of cold maceration to create Jägermeister’s base. The base, housed in more than 400 oak casks, then “breathes” for one full year to guarantee a high-quality finish, and authentic taste. Jägermeister contains 35% alcohol by volume. Made by Mast-Jägermeister SE and family owned to this day, the liquid launched in Wolfenbüttel Germany.

Best served as an ice-cold shot at -18C, or as a long drink in the popular Jägermeister Mule – a concoction of the herbal liquid, ginger beer and lime. With irreverent perfectionism at its core, the brand has steeped its roots in the music industry through its festival activation, JägerHaus, and ongoing partnerships with Soho Radio and Reform Radio.

Why Alcohol-Free Beer is the Perfect Sports Drink

Looking for a more natural alternative to your sugar and sweetener filled sports drinks? Then reach for a bottle of St Peter’s Without® alcohol-free beer, the perfect pre and post-workout recovery drink.

Although most fitness fans are likely to stock up on sports gels or isotonics to give them the energy to finish the race or recover more quickly, it has actually been proven that non-alcoholic beer helps you train for endurance races in a more natural way.
Made from four natural ingredients: barley, hops, yeast and water, St Peter’s Without® is 100% natural and contains fewer calories than an average beer. It is also a great fitness thirst-quencher, providing ultimate hydration and electrolyte replacements after exercise, as well giving your body back the vital salts and minerals that it releases during activity.
Alcohol free beer also contains less sugar, more carbohydrates for slow release energy and even helps replace natural bacteria in your gut. It also contains polyphenols that help stave off viruses.

There are four different beers in the St Peter’s Without® range: Without® Original, Without® Gold, Without® Organic and Without® Elderberry & Raspberry, offering something for all beer and lager drinkers.
St Peter’s Without® range is available from Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons, RRP £1.49 for a 500ml bottle. For more information visit www.stpetersbrewery.co.uk

BLUE SKIES LAUNCH NATURAL ICE-LOLLY RANGE

As the skies turn blue, a new range of fresh fruit ice lollies has landed and they’re a refreshing treat not to be missed.

The ice lollies from Blue Skies are made with fresh fruit which is handpicked, pressed and frozen just a short distance from the fruit farm to provide serious freshness and a refreshingly natural alternative with zero artificial ingredients.

The two multi-packs are available from Tesco and, as it’s going to be a long summer, there’s lots of flavours to go around. Mango lovers can cool down on Mango Medley with Mango, Mango Pineapple & Passion Fruit and Mango & Strawberry varieties, while tropical enthusiasts can tantalise their taste buds with Tropical Trio which bursts with Pineapple & Ginger, Passion Fruit and Watermelon & Lime.

As well as feeling refreshed, you can feel good knowing your tasty treat is helping others through the Blue Skies Foundation which has helped more than 100,000 people across Africa with projects including building schools, health clinics and clean water projects. Unlike many competitor brands, Blue Skies make their fruity products in Africa where the fruit is grown and packed. By doing this, as much as 70% of the value of the product stays where the fruit is grown meaning more jobs and an improved economic landscape for local communities.

The launch comes just one year after the fruit experts introduced dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan-friendly ice creams to the UK as they continue their mission for everyone to enjoy the real taste of fresh.

So now that summer feels closer than ever, it’s time to cool down on Blue Skies fresh fruit ice lollies. Mango Medley and Tropical Trio are available from Tesco. RRP £2.00 for a box of three flavours.
