Organic and naturally fl avoured soft drinks


OTC Beverages is a UK-based premium brand of ginger beer and sorrel soft drinks. Here, founder, owner and CEO Shirley White shares the idea behind the product


Non- alcoholic Shirley White, OTC Beverages’


founder, owner and CEO, shares her thoughts on


the superior-tasting


beverages. “Our ingredients are never made from concentrate, as we want to make a point of diff erence with our product and support a truly healthy diet,” she says. “T e beverages are based on traditional Caribbean recipe that many West Indian families serve at events. OTC Beverages will remind you of the Caribbean sea and relaxing in the sun with an ice-cold sorrel drink or ginger beer. “T e beverages are about enjoyment


and the taste of home and community, but in a premium bottle. You can enjoy the drink at seasonal celebrations and casual summer barbecues alike. As an added bonus, sorrel and ginger beer are known as natural


internal cleansers


for the body. “T e ‘OTC’ in the company name has


several meanings: it can be sold over the counter; references my time in the City of London in ‘over-the-counter trading’; and it details the ‘organic traditional concoctions’ that the product references with my children & my nephew’s initials. “T e bottle’s sleeve design and


colours stand out on the shelves. T e feedback from customers is that the sparkling beverages have noticeably diff erent tastes to the still varieties. “Please check out the brand’s Insta- gram page at @otcbeverages.”


Community and collaboration “I have a strong belief in giving back/ paying-it-forward at Volunteering Matters and as a Founder Patron for the Legacy Youth Zone in Croydon,” Shirley continues. “In July 2019, through a joint collaborative eff ort, I raised funds for the Aren Mali Memo- rial through the design and sale of a special-edition OTC Beverages bottle. It celebrated the life of Aren, my best friend’s son, who was murdered in 2017 — a victim of knife crime. “Lastly, to add provenance to the


brand we are sourcing sorrel and ginger from global farmers through their Cooperatives as part of our intention to benefi t local farmers and support sustainable farming, as well as businesses worldwide. Our unique British brand aims to create employ- ment opportunities and wellness in the UK and beyond. “In the words of a famous Jamaican


singer, ‘gratitude is a must’. I’m over- joyed that I’ve reached this stage of my beverages journey and look forward to the next phase.”
