The Kopparberg Passionfruit and Orange Gin has been launched by the brand in the UK as a spirit that plays on the popularity of flavored gins by offering consumers a new option to try out. The spirit is infused with the flavors of sweet passionfruit and orange that work to provide a bold, fruity profile that maintains a 37.5% ABV. The product is, according to the brand, best served over ice with a premium tonic or lemonade mixer and finished with a slice of orange.
Head of Marketing Rob Salvesen spoke on the Kopparberg Passionfruit and Orange Gin saying, "We are extremely excited to bring our new flavor of Kopparberg gin to the UK following the success of our pink gin variants launched last year and after we’ve seen passion fruit as a key and current trend in flavor. Kopparberg is the perfect drink to enjoy with friends and we look forward to seeing Kopparberg fans making memories with a refreshing serve of the new Passionfruit and Orange Gin."
