2026 Winners Announced

Blood Orange Turmeric Shrub – Pyewackets Traditional

BRONZE
Best Health Drink 2025

$18.00

A functional shrub tonic that combines organic turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties with the warming digestive benefits of fresh ground cardamom. Designed to be added to sparkling water, each bottle produces six drinks.

Made from excellent, clean ingredients.
Pyewackets Traditional practices include buying surplus fruit that would otherwise be wasted, such as produce that is too ripe or in excess supply. The brand supports organically grown or locally grown farms that implement integrated land, wildlife and water care plans. For ingredients that cannot be sourced locally, such as peppercorns and cardamom, Pyewackets opts for fair trade and certified organic options. Additionally, they utilise local label printers for their products.
Pyewackets Traditional utilises recyclable glass packaging that is aesthetically pleasing to encourage repurposing. They promote local bottle return and reuse systems. Their postal orders are shipped in entirely compostable or recyclable materials with carbon-neutral shipping. In production, all food waste, such as orange peels, is composted. The brand sources surplus or "ugly" fruit, which would otherwise be discarded, and prioritises suppliers within their bioregion while processing seasonally to minimise food miles and avoid out-of-season purchases.
Pyewackets Traditional commits to donating 1% of total revenue each quarter to First Nations organisations. The brand also contributes products to local school fundraisers and raffles, such as the Teven Tintenbar Country Fair and supports local arts events by donating products to the Tweed Art Gallery and Ballina Art Gallery openings and special events.

Product Reviews by Experts


Such a refreshing and clever take on functional drinks. The balance of sharp apple cider vinegar, juicy citrus and aromatic turmeric and cardamom makes for a deliciously complex flavour that feels both energising and grounding. I love that it’s designed to be diluted- it turns a glass of sparkling water into something ritualistic and vibrant, with clear benefits for digestion and inflammation. It’s a welcome break from sugary sodas and a genuinely enjoyable wellness tonic that I actually look forward to drinking. Using imperfect fruit is clever and sourcing from local, organic farms with land and water stewardship practices, is great! The reusable glass bottles, composted food scraps and carbon-neutral shipping all reflect a truly circular, community-rooted approach.


I love the packaging, such a pretty and clear label and such a beautiful blend of ingredients. I’m impressed by how well the blood orange and turmeric work together, such a refreshing combination and it tastes amazing when mixed with sparkling water. I really love that it’s handmade and crafted with simple, clean ingredients, which makes it taste both wholesome and high-quality. I really enjoyed this blend and will buy again! LOVE! I really love what this brand stands for. They use surplus fruit that would otherwise go to waste and work with local and organic farms that genuinely care for the environment. For ingredients they can’t get locally, like peppercorns and cardamom, they choose fair trade and certified organic options!


This was really enjoyable to try- I love the use of turmeric and the use of other herbs to support digestion. I also love that they donate 1% to different charities and first nation people.
