Folkington’s is a family-owned brand of fruit juices and mixers based in East Sussex. They produce premium drinks that give you an experience you will love and remember.
Folkington’s do this by sharing their passion for sourcing specific fruit varieties and botanicals. It goes without saying that everything they make is backed up by their uncompromising respect for quality, with provenance and sustainability at their core.
Folkington’s was founded in 2012 by managing director, Paul Bendit after 12 years of developing premium and innovative soft drinks for leaders in the catering sector and stand-alone brands.
The ambition in creating the Folkington’s brand was to replicate the authenticity and provenance that stand behind fine wines (“terroir”) into a range of fruit juices and soft drinks.
Originally launched with just six varieties of fruit juices, the range has expanded to ten varieties, and is now complemented by our sparkling pressés, tonic waters and other mixers.
Year-on-year, they use the same varieties of fruit sourced from the same farmers, or farming communities. This delivers not just a consistent taste and quality, but also helps provide a sustainable income into those communities.
Juices
Folkington’s make ten premium fruit juices and juice-based drinks that come in both small and large bottles. From traditional favourites to wonderful alternatives, such as pink lemonade and elderflower, there is something for all tastes.
Garden range
Their premium gently sparkling natural pressés are available in four tempting flavour combinations including rhubarb & apple and lemon & mint, alongside their traditionally hot ginger beer and English elderflower pressé. Across the range there are fewer than 100 calories per can. Available in 250ml cans, they are a great choice for many outdoor, as well as indoor occasions, and are as likely to be seen in a pub as in a coffee shop. Though the drinks are made to be drunk alone, they also mix brilliantly with gin to make a wonderful alternative to a G&T.
Tonic Waters & Other Mixers
Folkington’s make four different tonic waters. In addition to the traditional Indian tonic water and Light alternative, they have two completely unique tonic waters which are just as good with gin, as they are without: English Garden tonic water, made with cucumber, rosemary and mint, and Earl Grey tonic water made with bergamot and tea. They also offer three other mixers as part of our artisan range.
