Reverend B’s Divine Inspiration

Once upon a time in St Ives, there was a Reverend John Berriman. He did not have seven wives – but liked to unwind with a spot of experimental cooking in his spare time.

Sitting in his kitchen one day, as his latest creation bubbled away in the oven, he sipped some of his tasty homemade cola and stared at a pile of his freshly picked homegrown chillies on the table. “What to do with these fiery little blighters?” he thought, as he took another sip...

And then, ha! A flash of divine inspiration! “Why not infuse the cola with a dash of chilli to give it a bit of a kick, like that fiery ginger beer stuff but even nicer? A lusciously warm sensation in the back of the throat…a playful tingle on the tongue…wrapped up in a sweet, bubbly and refreshing cola drink?”

Our dear reverend is the first to admit his first attempt was an almighty scorcher. Oh yes, those homegrown chillies can be devilishly hot and playing with them a dangerous hobby! But after a spirited and careful process of refinement, he discovered a special way of toning down the chillies’ flavour and heat to leave just a deliciously feisty afterglow… A lively brew that leaves you uplifted and raring to go.

Resolving to spread the taste and share the love far and wide, Reverend Berriman set up his own soft drinks company that would also support vital social projects close to his heart. So with profits generated by sales going to help alcohol and drug rehabilitation projects across Cornwall, Reverend Berriman’s heavenly unorthodox beverages will leave you glowing inside for more reasons than one!
