“Rose’s Cordial Mixers make all the difference when added to your favourite alcoholic drink,” said Clyde Attard, marketing manager at P.

Every barman wants to be seen using Rose’s Cordials.”

The history of Rose’s Cordials has a strong heritage and tradition. The Rose family were shipbuilders in Leith near Edinburgh and Mr Lauchlin Rose set up a branch of business provisioning ships with supplies which included lime juice. Lime juice, of course, was remedy against scurvy and the Merchant Shipping Act of 1867 made it compulsory for all ocean going ships to carry lime juice rations.

The demand increased and Lauchlin Rose realised that although the neat lime juice taken for medical purposes by sailors might not be everyone’s cup of tea, a sweetened, bottled and attractively labelled lime juice could well become popular in Britain. With that in mind, he introduced the first branded fruit juice drink – Rose’s Cordial Mixer Lime Juice. L. Rose’s and Company was bought by Cadbury Schweppes in 1981 and today is still part of this organisation in Berkeley Square, London.

Rose’s Cordial Mixers come in a variety of flavours including the well-known Lime but also Lemon, Black Currant, Mojito, Cranberry. All variations are of extremely high quality and are today an integrated assortment in many bars, cafes and hotels and other pouring places in Europe.
