Nuisance Drinks Adds a Stunning Damson & Dandelion Tonic to its Range of Deliciously Discerning Yet Low Calorie Botanical Brews

Fresh on the heels of joining The Scottish Bee Company under a Natural Larder umbrella (Autumn 24), adult soft drinks evangelist Nuisance Drinks is putting the final touches to a New Year launch of Damson & Dandelion tonic, which will become the latest stylish addition to an exquisitely branded range of low-calorie botanical brews that include: Bramble & Rosemary, Nettle & Elderflower, Pink Grapefruit & Basil, Rhubarb & Ginger and Mint, Chilli and Cucumber.

 

Born at the height of the Pandemic back in 2020, Nuisance Drinks was an ambitious adult soft drinks business, initially born from the foraging exploits of adult soft drinks entrepreneur Hugo Morrisey, who first set out to re-create his mother’s celebrated nettle cordial.  The instant popularity of his quirky brew within the UK’s forward-thinking farmer’s markets convinced Hugo that there was real potential for a far-reaching range of ambitious flavour marriage soft drinks that paired familiar, everyday flavours with more historically forgotten, left-field ingredients.

 

Hugo could see the scope to champion a range of beautifully balanced nostalgic flavours that harked back to simpler times.  “I knew from the outset that I wanted to create a range of clean-deck, low-calorie (less than 50 calories) adult soft drinks with clear sustainable convictions that could be drunk either straight from the can or as the perfect mixer with vodka or gin.  In each instance the vision was to blend deliciously distinct everyday flavours with some of the British Countryside’s unceremoniously shunned shrubbery.”

 

Damson & Dandelion Tonic pairs the light, bitter twang with a hint of sweetness associated with dandelions with the sharp, astringent taste of damsons, tapping into the hot trend of ‘new-stalgia,’ which revisits comforting classics in a cooler, more modern way.
