Launching across the much loved cafés in Glasgow, the refreshed summer range includes three zingy lemonades – Cloudy Lemonade, Strawberry and Cherry, and Tropical, with 50p from every drink sold donated directly to Beatson Cancer Charity.
The decision to expand the offering follows the success of last year’s bright yellow tropical cooler, which saw nearly 1,000 drinks sold over the summer.
With proceeds supporting cancer patients and their families across Scotland, the team hope this year’s enhanced menu will bring even more impact.
And the new drink is already attracting famous faces from across the city, with former Rangers player and Scottish football figure Gordon Smith one of the the first to try the fruity concoctions and kick off the new fundraiser.
He said: “Beatson Cancer Charity, Tinderbox, and Matthew Algie are on to a winner with this – it’s undoubtedly the drink of the summer. I’ve been a long time supporter of the Beatson Cancer Charity and all the amazing support they give to families in the West of Scotland. Initiatives like this are vital – they help raise awareness and much needed funds for such an important cause.”
All drinks are made using ingredients sourced from local suppliers, including Matthew Algie, a long-time Tinderbox partner and one of the UK and Ireland’s largest coffee suppliers based in Glasgow.
Carlo Ventisei, owner of Tinderbox, said: “After such a strong response to last summer’s collaboration, we wanted to do even more. The new menu is a way to offer variety while continuing to support a cause that means a great deal to our team and customers.”
Heilidh Wilson, Corporate Fundraiser at Beatson Cancer Charity, added: “We’re delighted to be working with Tinderbox and Matthew Algie for a second year. Last summer’s response was incredible, and it’s brilliant to see the collaboration grow. Every drink sold helps us continue supporting people facing cancer across the west of Scotland – and we hope this expanded menu encourages even more people to get involved and support in a meaningful way.”
The lemonades are available now at Tinderbox cafés in Byres Road, Charing Cross, Braehead, Princes Square, Glasgow Fort, Merchant City and Edinburgh Waverley until the end of September.
