About Cacto Drinks

Real Prickly Pear. Real Refreshment. Cacto is the UK’s original prickly pear drink and now proudly recognised as the UK’s Best Soft Drink 2025. We craft naturally refreshing still and sparkling beverages using premium not-from-concentrate prickly pear purée, blended for exceptional flavour, hydration, and everyday enjoyment. Our mission is simple: bring the vibrant, uplifting taste of prickly pear to the world. Light, fruity, and naturally low in sugar, prickly pear delivers notes of watermelon, berry, and soft bubble-gum tones - a flavour profile that has already become a sensation across the US West Coast. Beyond taste, prickly pear is one of the world’s most sustainable fruits. As a desert-tolerant plant, it requires up to 80% less water than traditional crops while producing a richly coloured fruit packed with electrolytes, vitamin C, fibre, and natural minerals. This makes Cacto a modern, planet-minded alternative to conventional soft drinks. With six delicious recipes, our range offers retailers and customers vibrant choice across still, sparkling, and functional refreshment - all built around the clean, bright flavour of fresh prickly pear juice. Cacto proudly supports Water.org, helping expand access to clean water around the world. Discover why Cacto is leading the next wave of better-for-you soft drinks. Drink different.
