Bottlegreen Drinks
Bottlegreen Drinks is a British producer of premium adult soft drinks, principally cordials, pressés and sorbets containing no artificial flavours, colours or sweeteners.
The business was founded in 1989 when Kit and Shireen Morris first started bottling Elderflower cordial in a small village in the heart of the Cotswolds. In 2007 Kit and Shireen handed over control of the business by way of a management buy out.
In 2007 the company won the Good Housekeeping Award for The Best Soft Drink
2008 saw a major re-branding1 and the launch of the Junior cordial range2. Bottlegreen drinks are stocked by multiple retailers Waitrose, Tesco, J Sainsbury, Morrisons and Co-op in the UK as well as Coles and Woolworths in Australia. In addition the company supplies numerous wholesale and independent outlets. A number of their products are also available in select outlets in Canada.
