“I think they’ve hit the nail right on the head with this one. The cranberry is perfect. It’s not chalky in the way that sometimes cranberry drinks are, and the hibiscus just kind of wafts in at the end, like a really refreshing pleasant aftertaste. Hibiscus is reputed to be an aphrodisiac and to help to cure a hangover”

Cranberry & Hibiscus

The benefits of drinking cranberry juice are widely known – but how do you make cranberry juice taste good? Most mainstream brands dilute it and add lots of sugar, while others disguise the flavour more or less successfully by adding other fruit flavours.

At Thorncroft we approached the question with a bit of lateral thinking, and blended concentrated cranberry juice with an equally concentrated form of the Egyptian national drink, Hibiscus Tea.

Hibiscus tea is brewed from the swollen calyx of the flower of Hibiscus Sabdariffa, which yields a deep red, fruity and tart tea with a distinctive aroma, which blends superbly with the flavour of Cranberry to give a mix that is distinctive, flavoursome, and refreshing.
