About this deal

The pictured product, Fentimans Traditional Victorian Lemonade, was first brought to my attention by Anders Wiggstrom of the “Baskerville Hall Club of Sweden”. The beverage was remarkably sourced in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada by Charles Prepolec, BSI. With the advent of carbonation, lemonade took exciting new forms. Books such as William Terrington’s 1869 Cooling Cups and Dainty Drinks offer a number of methods and recipes. At its simplest, according to Cooling Cups , lemonade can be made by combining diluted lemon syrup with aerated water. One recipe for lemon syrup calls for citric acid, lemon essence, sugar and cold water. An alternative provided in that book is to make a lemon sherbet with sugar, citric acid, lemongrass essence, neroli and lemon essence. This “can be aerated by the addition of some bicarbonate of soda”. There’s also another way you can add flavour. Why not combine a Monin Le Fruit with Soda and Cloudy Lemonade?!

Fresh lemon flavor: Lemonade should taste like freshly squeezed lemons, not like lemon oil or lemon extract, or anything chemical. Tartness: Bright sour acidity is essential to make lemonade refreshing. Sweetness: A good lemonade should have just enough sweetness to balance the sour lemon flavor. 4. Why is lemonade not called lemon? Pare off the lemon-rind thinly, put it into a jug (pitcher) with the sugar, and pour over the boiling water. When De Feral was developing a lemonade list for the opening of The Wigmore in London, he had William Terrington’s 1869 Cooling Cups and Dainty Drinks as a resource, with its array of lemonade recipes in its “aërated waters” section. a b c "Fentimans to double turnover on European demand for botanical mixers". The Daily Telegraph . Retrieved 30 June 2016. Put the slices of lemon, the peel and sugar into a jug (pitcher); pour over the boiling water; cover it closely, and in 2 hours it will be fit to drink. It should either be strained or poured off of the sediment.The statement concludes by telling "any concerned citizens of Houlton, and the law enforcement officers and officials" to steer clear of the company's other soft drinks as their consumption "can only be described as 'deeply enjoyable'. For which we sincerely apologise. Sorry. Apologize." Cut to the mid-1600s, when lemonade had become popular in Paris, and also when the first English reference to lemonade is found, in Thomas Killigrew’s 1663 The Parson’s Wedding, according to Colin Emmins, author of Soft Drinks: Their Origins and History. This coincided with the popularity of cordials in England around that time, “to tempt the palates of the ill”, according to The British Soft Drinks Association (BSDA). I shared my Fentimans (established in 1905) “traditional” Victorian Lemonade with Mrs. Hudson and our immediate reaction was one of great disappointment and disgust. Its onslaught of an overwhelming medicinal taste caused us to immediately turn to its list of ingredients: carbonated water, lemon juice from concentrate (19%), fermented ginger root extract (water, glucose syrup, ginger root, pear concentrate, yeast) beet sugar, glucose syrup ,pear juice concentrate, cream of tartar, flavourings (lemon, orange), herbal infusions (speedwell, juniper berry). Also noted on the label was “not a significant source of...vitamin C”. Mrs. Hudson pronounced that it is a far cry from what would be termed a “traditional” Victorian lemonade and that Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson would be equally repelled by it. Brewed lemonade stirs up controversy". Bangor Daily News. October 21, 2009 . Retrieved September 30, 2016.

Even the circus has had a starring role in lemonade's long history. By the 19th century, both ice and the traveling circus had hit the scene and both were taking off. The first known mention linking pink lemonade to the circus comes from West Virginia's Wheeling Register in 1879. Circus lore has many tales of how its lemonade turned pink, but historians find two of them most viable. One story from 1912 goes like this: A concession worker "invents" pink lemonade when he accidentally drops red-colored cinnamon candies into a vat of regular lemonade. In proverbial "the show must go on" style, he serves the lemonade anyway and the people lap it up. Now once you understand what the product is, there's a really cool way you can incorporate this into your menus to save you money.

Fentimans' range includes both gluten-free alcoholic ginger beer and a mixer range; mixers include tonic, diet tonic, rose lemonade, bitter lemonade and ginger ale. [7] [8] Botanical brewing [ edit ] Of course for those non-Temperance drinkers, from those times until the present day, lemonade and similar sweet-sour formulations are at the core of countless alcoholic drinks. Once lemonade was invented, the addition of booze was inevitable. As one of the lemonade recipes in Cooling Cups quite rightly states: “A little lemon brandy is an improvement.” The still version of lemonade was made at home and was often available on a daily basis (for those who could afford the rather dear price of imported lemons) and was served both at casual and festive occasions. In 1767 English chemist Joseph Priestly invented carbonated water. The technique was adopted by Johann Jacob Schweppe whose commercial drinks company began to sell carbonated soda in England in the 1790’s. By 1833 the first reference to carbonated lemonade was documented and had begun to sell widely in British drink stalls. Over 170 years ago, Robert White and his brother Matthew had a mission to sell proper lemonade in the streets of London - thus R. White’s Lemonade has been sold in the U.K. since 1845 . The original recipe has since been significantly modified and is available in many varieties including a diet version. Thomas Fentiman's botanical brewing is a technique using a combination of infusion, blending and fermentation of natural ingredients. This approach has not changed much in over 100 years as the knowledge and expertise have been passed on from generation to generation of the Fentiman family. [9]

How to make a Cloudy Lemonade

Lemons were introduced from North China and spread to Arab countries including Persia (Iran), Iraq and Egypt in around 700 CE. Lemons were first used to flavour foods but the first written evidence of them used as a beverage is found in Egypt. Here it was part of a wine made from lemons, dates and honey. Poet and traveler, Nasir-i-Khrusraw who wrote about 10th century Egyptian life, plus Jewish books and documents from the time support that the Jewish community in Cairo consumed, traded and exported vessels of a sugary, lemon juice beverage through the 13th century. Butch Asselin, the chief of Houlton police, had earlier explained the decision to ban the drink to minors. He pointed out that non-alcoholic beers with similar residual alcohol content could not be sold to minors under Maine law. Let it cool, then strain it; add the wine, lemon-juice and eggs, previously well beaten, and also strained, and the beverage will be ready for use.
