You may be wondering, what is a Bumbleberry? Well, Bumbleberry is actually a 'made-up' word to describe a mix of berries. The term is often used in recipes, including the infamous Bumbleberry Pie, (a sweet Canadian pie originating from the Maritimes) to describe a selection of in-season berries, most commonly including blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries.
So, what is Bumbleberry Juice? Frobishers originally came up with the concept, taking the best of Britain's seasonal Summer berries - ripe strawberries, juicy raspberries, tart blackcurrants, and blackberries, and combining them into a vibrant and flavourful Summer fruit juice drink.
Bumbleberry Juice is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing drink, packed with natural vitamins and antioxidants, not to mention, that it's a wonderfully refreshing way to quench your thirst on a hot Summer's day. Just pour it into a glass with ice, and enjoy! We guarantee you'll love its unique flavour, and if you need a bit of sunshine on an Autumn day - this will give you all the Summer feels.
It can also be used as a marvellous mixer in a variety of cocktails and mocktails, if you feel like trying a new and exciting beverage, give one of our recipes below a go.
