Combine gin, lime juice and simple syrup with ice in a shaker. Shake, pour into a champagne flute, then top with sparkling wine. Kopparberg Pink Gin takes many of the same botanicals as its London Dry Gin, and combines it with fresh, refreshing strawberry and lime juice. This blends well with the lemon zest, coriander, and juniper. In fact, one of the main reasons why “pink” gins have risen in popularity over the last several years is because the fruity additional botanicals help mellow out the pine and peppery tastes of a traditional gin, which makes it easier for individuals looking to take their first steps into the spirit but who may not be as welcoming to the normal, abundantly juniper taste. Lighter Than The Traditional Gin

The orange and passionfruit flavours were quite apparent when opening the bottle and while pouring out my first measure, as the strong but pleasant citrus aroma is incredibly present, without being overpowering. Described as “a bold and exotic taste”, I had high hopes, and I wasn’t disappointed. The orange nor passionfruit were overwhelming. They seem to be perfectly balanced, with neither taking centre stage to the detriment of the other. Teetering on the edge of sweetness, I was pleasantly surprised to find that mixed with the tonic water, the drink was delightfully refreshing. With growing consumer demand for ‘Remixed Classics,’ Strawberry Cosmo is a take on the classic cosmopolitan and mixes the fruity flavours of Strawberry & Lime gin with sparkling cranberry. Similarly, Kopparberg’s take on the Tom Collins uses vodka rather than gin, mixing Kopparberg’s Lemon Vodka with soda for an exciting, modern twist. Finally, rum lovers will be thrilled with the Cherry Storm, Kopparberg’s very own version of the Dark ‘N Stormy which combines Cherry Rum, lime, and ginger beer. The refreshing taste of summer comes from no other than the wonders of Kopparberg. You might know this Swedish brand for their downright delicious Mixed Fruits, Raspberry or Pear ciders, but this brand has been on a whirlwind of innovation. From fruity gin to rich and flavoursome rum, Kopparberg has a tipple for you. We are continuing to spread the Spirit of Kopparberg by launching ready to drink premix serves of Kopparberg Strawberry & Lime Premium Gin & Lemonade in cans at stores nationwide this June – just in time for World Gin Day and the hotly anticipated summer ahead.As a bit of a gin connoisseur – ok, ok, someone who loves to drink the good juniper spirited stuff – I jumped at the chance to review Kopparberg’s new offering.

The summer drinks launches are starting to roll in and these are going straight on our to-try list! Rob Salvesen, our Head of Marketing here at Kopparberg, said, “We wanted to continue the momentum and excitement surrounding the launch of Kopparberg Premium Gin and launch RTDs into the UK market ahead of summer. The perfect serve of Kopparberg Strawberry & Lime Premium Gin & Lemonade was designed to enhance the natural flavours of the gin and offer a taste profile sweet enough for a long, hot summer. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy with friends and we’re very excited to offer Kopparberg fans another addition to the Kopparberg family.” Whether it’s a music festival, barbecue, or the beach, the RTD cans are set to be the drink of the summer, following the enormous success of Kopparberg Strawberry & Lime Premium Gin in May. The infused Strawberry & Lime flavours mixed with Lemonade will make a sweet addition to your Kopparberg sun-drenched summer days.Just as our fruit cider portfolio has expanded over the years, the Kopparberg Premium Gin range can now already be seen to be growing. Rob Salvesen, our Head of Marketing, comments: But for the vodka fans, the Kopparberg Tom Collins, 'Lemon Collins', uses Lemon vodka in place of gin, mixed with simple soda. And not to leave out rum, the Kopparberg Dark 'N Stormy, named Cherry Stormy is made with Kopparberg Cherry rum, lime, and ginger beer. It’s not been long since we announced our first foray into the gin market with our Strawberry & Lime flavour Kopparberg Premium Gin, and following the enormous welcome response, we are even more delighted to tell our fans that they can soon get their hands on another variant. Mixed Fruit came as the next obvious choice as it is our second most-loved fruit cider flavour, and we wanted to offer gin-lovers more than just one option when it came to choosing a pink gin. We hope to see many memories made outdoors with both Kopparberg Premium Gins this summer!”
