Hello, it’s Lexi here from Bensons Family Juicers. Autumn has always been one of my favourite seasons in the Cotswolds. There’s something magical about watching the orchards turn from summer green to shades of gold and russet. The mornings start misty, the evenings draw in earlier, and there’s that crisp freshness in the air that makes you want to reach for something warming and comforting.
This year we wanted to capture that autumn feeling in a bottle. The result is our brand new Apple & Ginger Pressed Juice. It’s simple, it’s seasonal, and it’s made with the same care and attention as all our juices, from orchard to bottle right here in the Cotswolds.
Why Apple and Ginger?
Autumn is apple time. This is the season when British apples are at their best; crisp, sweet, and bursting with flavour. Pressing them now means you get the freshest juice, straight from the orchard.
But autumn is also a season of transition. The days can feel shorter, the weather cooler, and sometimes we all need a little boost. That’s where the ginger comes in. Just a touch of warming ginger gives the juice a gentle kick that feels like pulling on your cosiest jumper. Ginger has been used for centuries as a natural pick me up, supporting digestion and giving you that warming, comforting feeling from the inside out.
Together, apple and ginger balance beautifully, sweet and spicy, crisp and warming, the perfect pair for autumn.
Made the Bensons Way
At Bensons Family Juicers, we’re proud to do things simply and honestly. Our Apple & Ginger Pressed Juice is pressed from real British apples, grown and harvested with care. We never use concentrates because we believe you can taste the difference when juice is made from fresh fruit. Every bottle is filled with juice that’s as close to the orchard as possible.
For us, this is more than just juice. It’s about celebrating the seasons and making the most of what’s fresh and local. It’s about crafting drinks that bring a little comfort and joy to everyday moments. And it’s about sharing a taste of the Cotswolds with you, wherever you are.
How to Enjoy Apple & Ginger This Autumn
One of the best things about this juice is how versatile it is. Here are some of my favourite ways to serve it:
-
Pour it chilled into a glass at breakfast to start your day with a crisp, fruity lift.
-
Heat it gently in a pan and sip from a mug like a non-alcoholic mulled drink that’s perfect by the fire.
-
Add a splash of sparkling water or soda for a refreshing spritz that still has that warming ginger note.
-
Try it with rum or whiskey for an autumn cocktail with a fruity, spicy twist.
-
Serve it alongside roasted root vegetables or farmhouse cheeses where the balance of sweet apple and ginger spice works beautifully with hearty autumn foods.
Autumn in the Cotswolds
Living and working in the Cotswolds means we’re surrounded by the beauty of nature’s changing seasons every day. For us, creating juices isn’t just about flavour, but about capturing a sense of time and place. Our Apple & Ginger Pressed Juice is our way of bottling up the feeling of autumn here, the orchards at harvest, the rolling hills in mist, the comfort of home after a long walk.
So, whether you’re looking for a refreshing morning boost, a cosy drink for evenings in, or something special to share with friends, I hope this juice brings you as much joy as it’s brought us in making it.
To me, it really does taste like autumn in a bottle.
