The Strongbow Strawberry cider has been announced by Heineken UK as the cider brand's latest libation that's expected to be a hit amongst consumers seeking out a summery yet cost-conscious refreshment this season.
The cider features the signature flavor of Strongbow cider with a burst of strawberry flavor in the mix, which responds to the popularity of berry-forward options presently on the market. The libation is targeted towards consumers who are interested in artisanal options, but might be looking to cut costs and still enjoy a premium flavor. The cider is also free from artificial sweetens, colors and gluten with a vegan-friendly recipe.
Cider Brand Director at Heineken UK Rachel Holms spoke on the Strongbow Strawberry cider saying, "Strongbow Strawberry is set to elevate our refreshing and great tasting cider range ahead of the peak summer season. As the most popular profile in flavoured cider, Strongbow Strawberry has seen incredible consumer testing results. Our aim is to attract new consumers into the cider category, especially those craving fresh innovation and new flavour experiences."
