As a premium lemonade, Fentimans Rhubarb Lemonade is Botanically Brewed, combining carefully selected ingredients to create a drink that feels both familiar and refreshingly different. Whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a mixed serve, it’s a versatile addition to any drinks occasion.
What Does Rhubarb Taste Like?
Rhubarb lemonade is defined by contrast. The natural sharpness of rhubarb brings a lightly tart, almost tangy character, while the lemonade base softens it with citrus sweetness. The result is a balanced flavour profile:
- Lightly sweet, without being overpowering
- Gently sharp, with a refreshing bite
- Crisp and clean, making it highly drinkable
What Makes a Premium Lemonade?
Not all lemonades are created equal. A premium lemonade is distinguished by the quality of its ingredients and the care taken in its production.
Fentimans Rhubarb Lemonade is Botanically Brewed, a process that involves fermenting natural ingredients to develop depth and complexity. This creates a fuller flavour compared to standard carbonated drinks.
Key characteristics of a premium lemonade include:
- Natural botanicals for added depth
- A balanced sweetness rather than excessive sugar
- A more refined, layered taste profile
How to Serve Rhubarb Lemonade
One of the strengths of rhubarb lemonade is its versatility. It works equally well as a standalone refreshment or as part of a more elevated serve.
Keep it Simple

Add a Fruity Twist
Pair with fresh berries such as strawberries or raspberries to complement the rhubarb’s tartness and bring out its softer, sweeter notes.
