Organic Product Review - Luscombe Strawberry Lemonade

I found this lemonade 3 years ago at a trade fair and knew from the first taste that It would go into my hampers. 

Luscombe Farm's Strawberry lemonade comes in a glass bottle and reassuringly needs a bit of a shake before you drink it as, being completely natural and organic, some of the pulp settles when it is left on the shelf.

Although labeled as lemonade the overwhelming flavor is a lovely smooth strawberry juice. The lemon adds a bite of refreshment. Although this is a sparkling drink, the sparkle is minimal so doesn't affect the taste but tingles on your tongue.

It is available in two sizes 32cl for personal use and 74cl for sharing. 

Luscombe have a great website with lots of cool cocktail recipes including one featuring the Strawberry Lemonade. It's also great just added to a drop of  vodka and ice for a cool summer drink.

Luscombe Organic Strawberry Lemonade is certified organic by the Soil Association.

In Celebration of the Strawberry.


My birthday falls right at the beginning of strawberry season. I have very fond memories of the first punnets arriving, my Granny and Mum carefully preparing them and then stuffing myself silly with them for the whole day. Strawberries meant Summer to me and the fact that they coincided with my birthday made them even more special.

We also used to go strawberry picking quite regularly at one of the many pick your own farms close to our home. I always ate more than I picked but we would still return home laden with fruit.

Because of all the fond memories that strawberries bring, and because, to this day they are still one of my favorite foods, I am going to dedicate this blog for the month of June to the celebration of the strawberry.

So watch this space for recipes, product reviews and anything else interesting that I can find about my favorite berry.
