- Authentic Flavour: The 'not from concentrate' juice makes a huge difference to the taste.
- Distinct Profile: The prominent mint flavour might not suit every single palate.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A riverside bistro in York decided to revamp their soft drinks menu. They felt their standard offerings didn't match the quality of their locally-sourced food and wanted something that would appeal to a more discerning clientele, especially for lunchtime and early evening service.
"We switched to Folkington's lemon and mint sparkling drinks and the feedback was instant. Customers kept asking what it was. It just looks and tastes so much more premium than what we had before. It's a small change that has really lifted our drinks service."
Michael Davies – Bistro Owner
The bistro reported a 30% uplift in their premium soft drink sales within the first two months, significantly improving their wet sales margin.

Getting the Best From It

- Recommend it as a mixer for premium spirits on your drinks list.
- Use it as a base for creating exciting and profitable non-alcoholic cocktails.

The Folkington's Difference: A Commitment to Authenticity
In a world of mass-produced beverages, Folkington's Garden stands apart by building its reputation on a simple principle: authentic ingredients make better drinks. This isn't just marketing fluff; it's a philosophy you can taste. By sourcing specific varietals like Femminello lemons from Sicily, they capture a unique sense of place and quality that you simply can't replicate with flavourings and concentrates. For your business, serving a drink like this is a quiet statement of intent. It tells your customers that you care about the details, that you prioritise quality over cost-cutting, and that you've thought carefully about their experience. This builds trust and loyalty, encouraging repeat business and justifying a premium price point. It's a small, affordable way to elevate your brand and show that you're a cut above the competition.
Explore more from Folkington's GardenWhy 'Not From Concentrate' Makes All the Difference
You see 'Not From Concentrate' on premium juices, but what does it actually mean for your customers' G&T or their simple glass of fizz? Think of it like this: making juice 'from concentrate' involves squeezing the fruit, then heating it to remove all the water, leaving a thick syrup. This syrup is shipped, and water is added back later. It’s efficient, but that process can zap away the fresh, delicate flavours.
'Not From Concentrate' (NFC) skips all that. The Sicilian lemons for this drink are simply pressed, pasteurised, and bottled or canned. It’s the closest you can get to drinking juice straight from the fruit. It means the flavour is brighter, more authentic, and far less 'processed' tasting. For lemon and mint soft drinks for cafes and bars, that difference is what turns a simple drink into a memorable one.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Cafés: Offer a premium, tasty soft drink that stands out from the usual high-street brands.
- Pubs & Bars: A fantastic standalone adult soft drink or a zesty, high-quality mixer for premium gins and vodkas.
