They sent me a big box in lovely packaging complete with a sweet letter which looked like it was straight from a movie. I love the aesthetic of the bottles and website as it's very countryside and vintage inspired, which I adore. The whole brand has a great 'look' to it, which is ideal for achieving that fancy-feeling. More importantly - how does it taste?
At first taste, the lime is quite strong, but it opens to a delicate sweet aftertaste. It is rather dry, which does remind me a little of a white wine. I also really like that it's sparkling without feeling acidic. It's sophisticated and refreshing, which makes it perfect for summer evenings.
It has a distinctive botanical scent and flavour, different to anything I've tried before. I'm a long-time fan of Fentimans Rose Lemonade and Lime and Jasmine brings the same gentle and layered flavour I've come to adore. It's 100% natural and comes in a glass bottle too, making it gentle on you and the planet.
As for if it stands up next to alcohol? It definitely does - it has a mature taste and conjures that 'special occassion' feeling, bringing thoughts of summer barbecues and date nights.
Fun fact - the dog on the bottle belonged to the original founder of Fentimans, and his name is Fearless. Little details and special touches are what makes a brand special.
If you've tried any of Fentimans' botanical beverages, what did you think?

As someone who doesn't drink, this is perfect for me - it's nice to have a fancy drink whilst your friends drink alcohol like you say x

Yeah definitely! I do worry when I'm say there with lemonade or a J20 that people will see me as a bit childish so these are such a good idea! xxx
