Frequently Asked Questions

How much are you products? How much is postage?
All of our products are listed on our web store. Simply add the relevant products to your cart, and use the "Estimate Shipping" in your cart to get a shipping cost. Simple!
How long has the factory been around?
Crows Nest Soft Drinks has been around since 1903. Back then we were called Crows Nest Cordials. The factory has been in present location since the 1970s.
How many products do you make?
We currently make 18 flavours of soft drinks, and 29 syrup flavours.
What are these "syrup flavours"? Are these cordials or something?
Syrup flavours is just a bit of a generic name we use. Within our range, we have flavours suitable for use as a normal cordial, coffee syrups, ice cream toppings, milkshake flavourings, etc. The applications for our syrups are only limited by your imagination! You can even use the syrups for making cake icings!
Nice! So how strong are the syrups?
We make our syrup flavours at a 1 in 6 mix ratio rather than the 1 in 4 mix ratio that most other cordials, toppings, and coffee syrups are made at. This means that you are getting more bang for your buck! As a comparison, 1 litre of "normal" cordial will make up 5 litres of finished drink, whereas 1 litre of our syrup concentrates will make up 7 litres of finished drink. That's an extra 2 litres!
Are you open to the public? Can we buy from the factory if we are passing through?
Yes, we are open to the public, and yes you can purchase any of our products listed on our web store from the factory. If you are planning on purchasing one of our 5L syrups, please let us know a few days before you plan to visit, as we make these up as required. If you are a business, our products can be purchased from a distributorthat carries our products.
