“The greatest discovery was elderflower cordial. There are not many soft drinks that taste interesting or complex in the way that wines can, but elderflower cordial, diluted with still or fizzy water, is quite enough to send a wine-writer into his or her customary paroxysms of adjectival description. Fragrant, flowery, limey, grapey…it really is all of these. Visiting wine buffs swoon over it, the children clamour for it at the fridge door.” (Kathryn MacWhirter, Independent on Sunday)

Beautiful cordials with the accent on tradition and quality Thorncroft is a small family business that started out on a small farm near Leatherhead in Surrey in the 1980’s. We specialise in making cordials mostly from old recipes and often using fresh natural ingredients gathered from the wild, or from our own organic plantations. We make five traditional and four well-being cordials, and three sparkling drinks. Go to individual pages for details, or click on the illustrations below.
