Absolut Vodka extends flavour range with launch of Wild Berri

Absolut is adding to its enhanced flavour portfolio with the launch of Absolut Wild Berri, as the brand continues its mission to deliver high quality vodka designed for mixing. Available from May, Absolut Wild Berri is already available to order for impulse retailers and from On-Trade wholesalers.

Absolut Wild Berri has an invitingly sweet taste with an underlying symphony of berry notes to create an elevated taste experience. Using only natural flavours and with no added sugar, the 38 per cent ABV vodka offers a natural taste of freshly picked blueberries, blackberries and wild strawberries combined with spicy hints in the flavour.

As part of Absolut’s commitment to mix cocktails, people, and ideas, Absolut Wild Berri can be used to create a wide range of perfectly balanced drinks either at home or in a bar. Key serves include Absolut Wild Berri with lemonade for something sweet and bubbly, or as an upgrade to a regular bramble a delicious Wild Berri Bramble cocktail using the vodka, lemon juice, sugar syrup and a drizzle of dark berry cordial, garnished with blackberries.

“Absolut Wild Berri is an exciting new example of how the brand continues to embody and drive forward its values of being Born To Mix and offering consumers exceptional cocktails,” said Liam Murphy, Brand Director at Pernod Ricard UK. “The launch brings with it new ways and occasions to enjoy the iconic flavour of Absolut, whether that’s with a wide range of mixers or in a cocktail, and we’ve used our expertise and passion to create a premium vodka that allows its natural berry flavours to shine through.”

The launch of Absolut Wild Berri is being supported by paid social and influencer activity, and forms part of the brand’s Born To Mix flavours and cocktails media campaign that is running throughout May and June.

Absolut Wild Berri is available now in Booker and at an RRP of £21.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
