Giveaway
I was not paid to host this amazing giveaway of a Hamper valued at $365 or to write this post, I was gifted 4 bottles of Shloer : sparkling juice drink , to review. ![]() |
How sad it was I did not receive this Hamper - full of Shloer and Simon Johnson gourmet goodies worth $365 ! |
or not , I've had 2 x 1/2 glasses in 10 months.
I drink mostly 'under the sink filtered water' for refreshment (and copious amounts of white tea and green tea), sometimes plain soda or mineral water and a lemon wedge; rarely soft drink due to added sugar I don't need.
Shloer is made from crisp white and aromatic red grapes, blended with the purest water to create a unique tasting sparkling juice drink. Not unlike wine produced from premium quality grapes, though it doesn't taste like the wine I prefer to drink.
As it boasts no preservatives, artificial colours, sweeteners or flavourings, Shloer is an alternative to alcohol and apparently the drink of choice for many expectant and new mums. I can't vouch for that claim.
I do know it's nice to enjoy a 'light fizz' drink of something other than water with my hubby, to unwind. I miss da' vino though Shloer doesn't really taste like wine , I can pretend.
I juice my own fruit and vegie juices but it's not the same in a wine glass..., green foamy and with floaters or cloudy beetroot red.
I enjoyed the Shloer Red Grape, chilled - with pleasant fruity flavours , though I found it a bit sweet it was refreshing. I am too used to plain water. My children liked it immensely.
The Shloer White Grape flavour was my preference. I liked it more with a little carbonated water to reduce the sweetness too.
I think I'd enjoy using Shloer more as the base for non-alcoholic cocktails and add a zing and zestiness with other mixers.
I didn't even know it has a rich heritage stretching almost 80 years, still based on the original recipe by Professor Jules Shloer of Switzerland!

1 litre lemonade

Michelle V · 617 weeks ago
You need a punnet of strawberries, 5 passionfruits, 1 litre of mango or tropical juice, an 1 litre of traditional lemonade, and some crushed ice. And of course, the most important ingredient is the little umbrella!!!
I love mocktails, even more so than your regular 34 year-old, as I am on my 'P' plates and can't drink alcoholic beverages if I am driving, so mocktails have become my new best friend of late!

The first is simple - crush a few mint leaves in a cup, add soda water (or lemonade if you prefer sweet) and a handful of ice, float a lemon slice on on the top.
My other favourite sounds odd but is completely delicious! Cut a lime in half, and cut one piece into quarters (I only use a half per glass as limes can be expensive). Crush that in the bottom of a tall glass or in a small jug. Add 100ml of guava nectar and top with ginger beer and ice. It is a tangy, refreshing mouthful of flavour!
Just try it and see, wine is not the only way to enjoy a nice cold drink.

My favourite mocktail would be made from cranberry juice, lemonade, lots of crushed ice and garnished with a strawberry ... its pretty and pink, bubbles make it taste more exciting, and a garnish makes you feel a bit special.
My cranberry mocktail is best enjoyed under the patio on a hot summer afternoon watching my pup dig up my vegetable garden yet again :)

ice cubes
lime juce, freshly squeezed
600ml cold juice, such as orange & mango or tropical
100ml raspberry cordial syrup
fresh pineapple or lime to serve
Place ice cubes into glasses, pour over fruit juice and a dash of lime juice. Slowly pour over the raspberry syrup - it will sink to the base. Don't stir so it retains the look of a sunrise.
Garnish with pineapple or lime.
To decorate the glasses before serving you can dunk the rims of the glasses in lime juice, then castor sugar :)

I don't drink, never have, and I would drink Scholers (and have done so) at Christmas time and other special occasions and celebrations or if I am just feeling like a special drink that is not a typical fizzy drink!
Jules · 615 weeks ago
Pour choc syrup inside of a fancy glass before you add the frothed milk.

Half mango
Half cup plain yoghurt
50ml Schweppes Lime Juice Cordial
Pinch of cinnamon powder (for garnishing)
4 ice cubes
METHOD -
Blend all ingredients together in a blender.
But the easiest and most refreshing drink I find is Sparking Apple Cider. A great drink that looks like wine, but without the side effects and alcohol content. When you want to blend in to the crowd without getting constant remarks from people, I love my cider.
