Sip, Smile, Repeat: Fruities Cordial Brings the Fun Back to Family Drinks

There’s something about summer that makes you crave those simple, nostalgic moments — the kind where the kids run barefoot through the sprinkler, the BBQ’s sizzling in the background, and everyone’s holding an ice-cold drink that actually tastes like fruit, not chemicals. Enter Fruities Cordial — the fresh, family-friendly drink that’s rewriting the cordial rulebook and landing on Woolworths shelves just in time for summer.

If cordial reminds you of your childhood — sticky hands, backyard picnics, and that one aunt who always made it way too strong — Fruities is here to bring those memories back, minus the sugar rush.

Real Fruit, Real Flavour

Fruities Cordial is the kind of drink parents have been waiting for: no preservatives, nothing artificial, and made with real fruit juice. It’s also low in sugar and double concentrated, meaning each 500ml bottle makes up to 10 litres (or 40 serves). That’s a lot of lunchbox refills and backyard drink breaks.

Proudly Australian made and owned, Fruities was designed with real families in mind — those who want something quick, delicious, and a little bit better for everyone. Whether you’re pouring it for an after-school treat, setting up a party table, or mixing up mocktails for your next BBQ, it’s a versatile drink that works for every occasion.

The flavours are fun, familiar, and guaranteed to please even the fussiest drinkers:

  • Apple & Lime – crisp, zesty, and refreshing (perfect for hot afternoons)

  • Tropical – like sunshine in a glass, bursting with mango, pineapple, and summer vibes

  • Apple & Raspberry – the sweet-and-tangy combo that never fails to make kids smile

A Cordial Comeback

Let’s be honest — somewhere along the way, cordial got a bad reputation. It became the drink you’d only bring out when you’d run out of juice boxes or soft drink. But Fruities is flipping that perception on its head.

This isn’t your average sugar-laden syrup; it’s light, fruity, and actually made to taste like, well… fruit. It’s the cordial that parents feel good about pouring and kids can’t wait to drink.

Because it’s double concentrated, you only need a splash to make a full glass — meaning less waste, less plastic, and more value for your grocery dollar. And the best part? You can adjust the sweetness to your taste. Add more water for a subtle, refreshing drink or go a little heavier for a party punch that pops.

Aussie Made, Aussie Loved

In a market full of imported juices and artificial mixers, Fruities’ commitment to being 100% Australian made is worth celebrating. Supporting local growers and manufacturers isn’t just good for the community — it also means every bottle tastes fresh, fruity, and authentically homegrown.

It’s the kind of drink that belongs on Aussie tables, right next to the sausages, salads, and sunscreen.

The Ultimate Summer Companion

If you’re planning your next family BBQ, pool day, or picnic, Fruities is the easy crowd-pleaser. You can serve it straight with ice, turn it into a sparkling spritz with soda water, or even add a handful of fruit slices for a fancy mocktail moment.

For parents, it’s also a secret weapon — a colourful way to keep kids hydrated without the constant sugar spikes that come with soft drinks. It’s also perfect for topping up drink bottles on hot days, giving them a hit of flavour without loading up on additives.

Here are a few fun ways to make Fruities part of your summer spread:

  • Frozen Fruities Pops: Mix your favourite flavour with water and pour into icy pole moulds for a refreshing after-school treat.

  • BBQ Coolers: Add slices of lime, berries, or mint leaves to a big jug of Fruities for a picture-perfect BBQ table drink.

  • Lunchbox Boost: Pop a small serving into a reusable drink bottle and dilute with water for a tasty twist on hydration.

  • Fruities Fizz: Mix Apple & Lime with sparkling water for a grown-up mocktail that’s crisp and light.

Kids Love It, Parents Approve

The real test of any family product? Whether it passes the parent test and the kid test. Fruities nails both. Parents love that it’s low in sugar and preservative-free, and kids love that it tastes like a treat.

It’s one of those rare finds that hits the sweet spot between wholesome and fun — the kind of product that belongs in every Aussie pantry, especially during summer.

And let’s face it, there’s something special about watching your kids enjoy the same kind of drink you grew up with — only better. Fruities is nostalgia, upgraded.

The Party Pour

Summer in Australia means birthdays, BBQs, beach days, and park picnics — and Fruities fits right in. The colourful bottles make it easy to mix and match for themed parties or serve as a go-to drink option when you’re catering for a crowd.

The Apple & Raspberry flavour brings a pop of pink to any table, Tropical gives you those holiday vibes, and Apple & Lime is your all-round refresher — perfect for balancing out the heat.

Set up a DIY cordial bar with jugs of each flavour, chilled sparkling water, fruit garnishes, and plenty of ice. It’s interactive, budget-friendly, and looks impressive on the table. Parents can even add a splash of vodka or gin for an adults-only twist once the kids are tucked into bed.

Healthier Choices That Still Feel Fun

With so many hidden ingredients in drinks these days, Fruities makes choosing better easy. Each bottle is made with real fruit juice and without any artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. It’s a small switch that makes a big difference — especially for families trying to reduce additives without giving up flavour.

And unlike some health-focused drinks that sacrifice taste for nutrition, Fruities gets the balance right. It’s genuinely enjoyable — a drink that feels like a reward, not a compromise.

Why Families Are Making the Switch

As more parents look for ways to make everyday choices a little cleaner, Fruities has arrived at exactly the right time. It gives kids that sense of fun and celebration they love, while giving parents confidence that what’s in the glass is made with care.

It’s the perfect mix of practicality and pleasure: affordable, versatile, and genuinely delicious.

At its core, Fruities isn’t just about what’s inside the bottle. It’s about those moments it helps create — sticky smiles, backyard laughs, and the satisfying clink of ice cubes as the sun goes down.

It’s about the kind of summer memories you’ll still be talking about when everyone’s back to school and work routines — the simple pleasure of being together, refreshed, and real.

Because when it comes to family, food, and fun, the best things are often the simplest. And Fruities Cordial fits right in.
