Navas Ginger Beer opens with a bright, lively nose of freshly grated ginger root, lifted by a zesty edge of lime and a soft, orchard-fruit sweetness in the background. Poured over ice, it sparkles with fine, gentle bubbles that carry an inviting spicy aroma, hinting at the warmth to come before it ever reaches the lips.
On the palate, Navas Ginger Beer delivers a bold, fiery ginger hit that builds steadily rather than overwhelming. The tasting profile pairs vibrant Nigerian ginger with the natural sweetness and acidity of Cornish Polgoon apple juice and Tahitian lime, producing a clean, fiery and full-bodied ginger beer. The apple brings a rounded, juicy middle that softens the spice, while the lime keeps everything sharp and refreshing.
The texture of Navas Ginger Beer is one of its quiet strengths. The carbonation is soft and refined rather than aggressive, giving a smooth, almost silky mouthfeel that lets the ginger’s warmth spread across the palate. A subtle floral note from the hibiscus adds depth and a delicate complexity rarely found in ginger beers.
The finish is long, warming and satisfyingly dry, with the ginger heat lingering at the back of the throat alongside a final citrus snap. Navas Ginger Beer is a grown-up, alcohol-free drink in its own right – perfect for drivers, non-drinkers, or anyone wanting a characterful, refreshing serve made right here in Cornwall.
The story of Navas Ginger Beer begins with a simple observation. On a winter’s day in 2018, founders Kim and Marcus noticed how few craft tonics existed compared with the booming number of craft gins, and the idea of a Cornish tonic water became the seed of Navas. From that starting point, the brand grew into a full range of premium Cornish soft drinks, with Navas Ginger Beer becoming one of its standout products.
Navas Drinks Limited was incorporated in June 2018 with its registered office in Truro, Cornwall, making it a genuinely local Cornish producer. The company set out to create drinks that celebrate the county’s natural resources, combining world-class ingredients sourced from abroad with the finest produce found closer to home.
Provenance, sustainability and supporting local businesses sit at the heart of the Navas philosophy; the company is B Corp certified and donates a percentage of every bottle sold to support the Eden Project’s conservation work. Today, Navas Ginger Beer is an award-winning drink stocked by independent bars, restaurants and hotels across Cornwall and beyond – a proud example of Cornish craft at its best.

Sat in a cosy pub in Cornwall one Winter’s day in 2018, our founders pondered the absence of craft tonics compared with the ever-burgeoning range of craft gins that were on offer. Musing over the idea of Cornish Tonic Water, the seed of Navas was born..
Working at length with Cornish distillers, they tasked themselves to perfect a Tonic that enhanced botanicals without over-powering them. In reverence of the environment that living in that part of West Cornwall inspires, we knew the recipe needed to start with Cornish Spring Water.
With naturally filtered water (through the granite of Bodmin Moor) and an aim to have as many natural ingredients as possible, our journey led to a discussion with the nearby Eden Project to experiment with growing botanicals in their renowned biomes.
Navas drinks are proud to continue working with the Eden Project and are donating a percentage of every sale, directly to it’s mission.
