Frobishers

Soft drinks rarely get the attention they deserve, which is what makes this Exeter operation worth knowing about. Twenty blended fruit juices and cordials, made with the stated aim of doing more than tasting good: the line is that every sip supports better choices for people and the planet. Bold rather than delicate is the house style, and the mango in particular has a reputation among people who drink a lot of bottled juice.

The range splits into Juices, Fusions, Sparklers and Pressés, with cherry a favourite among younger drinkers. They also publish cocktail recipes and food pairings, so the bottles are as much a mixing base as a straight pour. Ordering is online in cases of 12 or 24, and you can build a custom box - the sensible move if you would rather work out which four flavours you actually want before committing to a full case.
