Beverage Line in the USA

American interest in great-tasting, healthier beverages that are free of alcohol, added sugar,
artificial colors and flavors.
Los Angeles, CA, August 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- U.S. Adult Beverage Non-alcoholic Market Grows Up
as Thorncroft Drinks Names Semper Excelsius to Market Its No-Sugar Added Healthy Thirst Sodas in the
USA
Banking on the American palate has matured to where sugary sodas and juices and energy bursts just
don't satisfy as much any more, UK-based Thorncroft feels the timing is perfect to introduce its Healthy
Thirst sodas to connect with American interest in great-tasting, healthier beverages that are free of
alcohol, added sugar, artificial colors and flavors.
Thorncroft Drinks are made from food ingredients rarely, if ever, found in sodas, such as flowers and
botanicals, like elderberry, hibiscus, apple dandelion and burdock. Although all of which have long been
held by herbalists to have specific positive effects, and many have also been subject of proven scientific
research, Healthy Thirst is all about a wonderful way to satisfy one's thirst with a healthy pleasure.
Thorncroft Founder Guy Woodall added “From the onset, my wife Sheila and I created Healthy Thirst as
non-alcoholic fizzy beverages free from added sugar, artificial flavors and colors and the dreaded e
numbers, the word used as a pejorative term for artificial food additives in Europe. Many of our
ingredients come from our family farm and gardens in the rolling hills of the North Downs in Surrey,
where we have been building our business for over 25 years.”
David Price, Managing Director, stated “The great response we received at the recent Fancy Food Show
in New York from buyers across the country, coupled with our steady success in the EU, gives good
reason that our range of lightly carbonated drinks, made with fusions of fruit, herbs and botanical
ingredients, will be a smash hit in the States. Plus, our existing online consumers in the USA will be
thrilled.”
Semper Excelsius Co-Founders (aka Fog Pilots) Clive Zickel and Michael Albert are elated to be
marketing Healthy Thirst in the USA. “Thorncroft's excellent reputation and its loyal, premium customer
base in the EU delivers us an exciting opportunity to continue our expansion efforts in the specialty and
gourmet channels”, noted Zickel. Albert added, “Like other designated drivers, I'm usually stuck with
sparkling cider or yet another diet soda that one day might kill me. Healthy Thirst sodas are slightly
sweet, slightly tart and delicious adult beverages that happen to be non-alcoholic; wonderful concoctions
made from flowers, herbs and other natural ingredients. How cool is that!”
