[2] In 1999, the brandname was acquired by the Kotses family and later renamed Bickford's Australia, after which the brand saw a revival in popularity with the introduction of new flavours and products.

In 2006, Bickford's lime juice cordial was recognised by the National Trust of South Australia as a Heritage Icon.

After arriving in Adelaide, South Australia from England in 1839, chemist William Bickford operated a successful apothecary beginning the following year.

[9] Since then, the range of products, and the Bickford's Group has grown, forming partnerships with Vok Beverages,[10] Wheel & Barrow,[11] and Karma Living,[12] as well announcing plans for a new distillery for the South Australian Riverland in February 2014.

Other products produced by Bickford's include Iced Coffee Syrup (made since 1920), Fruities and Robinson's Fruit Shoot juice drinks for children, and Aqua Pura bottled water.
