Beautifully Swedish LOWER ALCO Cider Cocktails HOL BY VOLUME

There are two things that Australia and Sweden share: long, warm, magical summers and a love of truly great cider. It’s no wonder then that Rekorderlig, inspired by the glorious Swedish summer and with a range of bright, fresh and fruity flavours, has become a firm Aussie summer favourite.

Rekorderlig has been expertly crafted in Sweden’s Åbro brewery, season after season, for 21 years. Through dark winter nights and splendid summer days, Rekorderlig’s seasonal styles of cider have been the perfect accompaniment.

We suggest entertaining your guests this season with refreshing Rekorderlig Cider cocktails. Whether it’s a daytime soirée or an evening affair, these drinks are perfect to serve as they have a lower alcohol content and are still deliciously tasty.

REKORDERLIG MANGO-RASPBERRY TRAVELLERS PUNCH

A blend of ingredients from around the world, this lower alcohol punch is a twist on a classic. Inspired by flavours from around the world and mixing sweet, sour and bitter ingredients, the Travellers Punch is an excellent pre-dinner drink that’s perfect for a summer day.

INGREDIENTS: 660ml Rekorderlig Mango-Raspberry Cider. 150ml Fresh lime juice 150ml French vermouth (We used Martini Extra Dry). 100ml Soda water 8 x Dashes Australian Grapefruit Bitters 1 x Lime cut into wedges or slices of mango
