Rhubarb Season has Arrived!
Rhubarb season is one of those short but much-anticipated moments in the British food calendar. As spring settles in, those vivid pink stalks return, bringing their unmistakable sharpness and freshness.
At Bensons, we believe that when an ingredient is this good, you let it speak for itself. That’s exactly what we’ve done with Bensons Sparkling Rhubarb and Apple. Uniquely British, delicately tart and wonderfully fruity with added sparkle, it’s a carefully balanced blend where rhubarb leads and apple brings a gentle, natural sweetness.
Pressed apple, rhubarb and filtered sparkling water come together to create a refreshingly light drink that feels perfectly suited to the season.
Grown at Pixley Berries, Herefordshire
The rhubarb in Bensons Sparkling Rhubarb and Apple is grown at Pixley Berries in Herefordshire, a farm known for producing fruit with real depth of flavour.
Everything at Pixley is guided by the seasons, with rhubarb harvested at just the right moment to capture its natural balance, sharp, vibrant and full of character. It’s this attention to detail that gives the drink its distinctive taste.
By sourcing from Pixley, we keep things close to home while supporting British growers who care about quality as much as we do.
A Properly Balanced Drink
Rhubarb is bold by nature; that sharp edge is what makes it so refreshing, but it needs balance.
In Bensons Sparkling Rhubarb and Apple, the apple softens that sharpness with a gentle sweetness, creating a drink that feels crisp, rounded and easy to enjoy.
It’s made the right way from the start. Pressed with British apples in the heart of the Cotswolds, never ever from concentrate, and with nothing unnecessary added. No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and no added sugar, just naturally occurring sugars from the fruit.
Finished with a light sparkle, it’s refreshing without being overpowering.
Made for Spring and Beyond
There’s a reason rhubarb has such a loyal following at this time of year. It feels fresh, crisp and perfectly in tune with the season.
Bensons Sparkling Rhubarb and Apple fits naturally into those moments, from long weekend lunches to relaxed garden get-togethers, or simply when you want something alcohol-free that still feels considered.
Serve it over ice with a slice of fresh apple or a ribbon of rhubarb for a simple yet elevated touch. A sprig of mint lifts the freshness, while a splash of soda or tonic creates a lighter spritz. It also pairs beautifully with food, especially roast pork, goat’s cheese salads or richer dishes where that gentle sharpness can cut through.
For something more indulgent, it works just as well mixed. Topped with prosecco, it becomes a fresh, lightly sparkling aperitif. With gin, it takes on a more grown-up feel, while vodka and a squeeze of lime keep things clean and crisp. Even a splash added to a dry rosé makes an easy, fruit-forward spritz.
Light and refreshing, and under 100 calories per can, it’s the kind of drink to keep chilled and ready for whatever the day brings.
