The Strawberry Blossom Martini draws on the main flavour pairings between the gin’s strawberry notes and the balance of sweet and sour from the lime and lychee combination. Ingredients

The lime and strawberry content is probably very slim. Only enough to satisfy Swedish consumer law that would otherwise prevent them from depicting lime and strawberries on the bottle. The flavours are probably from more ot less artificial essences. The lime is definitely not from Sweden as lime does not grow here readily. Strawberries could be Swedish, but is probably cheaper if bought from the European mainland. Your review is pretty spot on. Kopparbergs cider is not what I would call cider but rather a alcoholic softdrink. I don’t have a bottle available, so I can’t look at the ingredients as listed on the bottle. I would wager that water and sugar are among the top three ingredients. This alone would tell us that we are not dealing with a real cider.

Well it tastes just like those strawberry and cream lollies. Kopparberg Strawberry And Lime has the same mouth feel as the lollies, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the mouth feel is probably due to the fact that has just as much sugar in it. The strawberry taste is not like a real strawberry just a poor facsimile. The sugar hangs around like chewing gum on a shoe, it just gets everywhere. That fancy mineral water does not add to the taste but it does cut the costs. Real fruit that’s what adds flavour. When it comes to the fruit ingredients it wouldn’t surprise me if the apple content is added in the form of a concentrate. The apples could very well originate from Sweden as we have plenty of apple farms, especially in the south. Enhancing the key flavours of the drink to create a refreshing summer beverage. Building from the clear strawberry flavour profile of the gin, the added strawberries bring the aroma and ‘colour’ identification to the serve. Lime wheel garnish balances the sweetness of the drink and enhances the lime flavours of the gin. Ingredients

But where is the lime? If Kopparberg is going to write it on the label, why not put it in the bottle. Well the bottle also says “premium” and “cider”. Again that medicinal tang is there, is that meant to be the lime? A sweet Spritz topped with Prosecco appealing to Aperol Spritz drinkers looking for a sweeter alternative. Can be garnished with pink grapefruit to balance the sweetness for those seeking a more classic Aperol Spritz option IngredientsThe passionfruit flavour gives a good accompaniment to the already present strawberry base, while the elderflower delivers a sweet flavour enhancer to the serve. Ingredients This serve delivers a refreshing, palate cleansing drink which balances the sweetness delivered by the strawberry. Both cucumber and basil are great partners with strawberry. In this serve they develop a more recognisable G&T flavour in bringing the botanical notes of the gin forward and leaving the strawberry to be the finishing flavour. Ingredients A build-in-the-glass, easy-to-create drink which allows venues already geared for serving Pimms to serve this option as well. This serve gives a fruity sweet alternative to consumers who might not enjoy the traditional bitter flavours of a G&T or Pimms. Ingredients
