Aren’t you sick of Ribena already? Sure that is the drink we all grow up on in Singapore but seriously, it is not really a blackcurrant drink. When you pour the blackcurrant concentrate and dilute it with water, it is either too sweet or just too weak. Don’t you just hate it when that happens. There is no sure way for you to get the correct concentration for that perfect drink. Furthermore, you can’t taste the blackcurrant flavour at all.
Thus I shall introduce to you Bickford’s Blackcurrant Sparkling Fruit Juice Drink. Now this is really a drink which you can enjoy and something that you won’t feel too sickly sweet when it goes down your throat like our Ribena. I have taken some photos of the drink. You can easily find them at our local supermarkets.
Very nice look. It contains 8% blackcurrant juice. Surely with so much blackcurrant juice in this drink, you will be able to taste the blackcurrant. Although I won’t say the taste is particularly strong, I would say this is much better than Ribena.
Cool, no artifical colours, no artifical flavourings and a great source of Vitamin C. Plus you get a great tasting and delicious drink. I think it is an especially refreshing drink in our warm Singapore climate. Best served cold!
Contains carbonated water, sugar, blackcurrant juice, natural flavour, antioxidant and presevatives. I am guessing that the blackcurrant juice is the main source of Vitamin C. The Citric Acid is also another source of Vitamin C. From the label it says that the juice in the bottle contains about 24mg of Vitamin C, much less than the You.C100 Orange drink. Well, they are probably aiming for different markets. The You.C100 drink is meant for persons drinking it for Vitamin C. The Bickford’s Blackcurrant Juice is just a simple refreshing drink for everybody to enjoy.
I am trying my best to cut down on the amount of preservatives I take but it seems that be everywhere. If you guys know where I can find good tasting but preservative-free products, please give me a heads up.
