Whenever I think of the blackcurrant, Ribena is always the first thing that comes to my mind. Perhaps because the Ribena cordial is what I grew up drinking so it has always been a brand that is so close to heart.
Recently, Ribena has introduced its first non-blackcurrant flavoured drink – Pineapple & Passionfruit Fruit Drink. Like its blackcurrant predecessor, this new ready-to-drink beverage contains real fruit juice that gives us our required daily dose of Vitamin C.
The Ribena Pineapple & Passionfruit Fruit Drink reminds me of summer with its tropical, citrusy flavour. Best served chilled, it is a perfect balance of sweet and sour (overall it’s not saccharine sweet which is good) with the pineapple being the more dominant flavour. It’s also a versatile beverage that you can use to customise and concoct different cocktails or mocktails for any occasions.
Beat the haze and the viciously hot weather in Singapore with my refreshing margarita mocktail recipe in which I’ve also included real pulp from the passionfruit to give that extra boost of vitamins. Great for the whole family to enjoy! 🙂
