What’s Lambrini Like? Trying Lambrini For the First Time!

Being Swedish, I’d not heard about Lambrini until I moved to the UK and even though I’ve been here for many years now, I hadn’t tried it until last month. I imagined that it was a very sweet and girly beverage as that’s what it looks like and I thought that maybe it would be a bit too sweet for me. I do love to try new things though, so when I was asked to sample the whole Lambrini range, I was excited to see what it was like.

• What is Lambrini?

Lambrini is a light and fruity perry drink that dominates the British commercial perry market. It’s a very popular drink and it’s available in a fun range of flavours to suit different tastes. You can drink it as it is or make Lambrini cocktails.

• The Range + What’s Lambrini Like?
  

The bubbly range currently includes five flavours: So Strawberry, Very Cherry, Truly Peach, Always Original and Skinny Original. Truly Peach (ABV 5%) was the first one I tried and it was so delicious! It’s so summery and fruity, sweet but not too sweet, and perfect enjoyed chilled in the sunshine.

The second one I tried was Very Cherry (ABV 5%) and I wasn’t too fond of that one because I don’t like cherry flavoured things. If you love cherry flavour then you’ll love this one though. My husband loves cherry things but they’re not for me.

I did love the So Strawberry (ABV 5%) one — it tasted like liquid strawberry, like summer in a glass. Delicious and and perfect for a girly get-together in the garden.

The Always Original (ABV 7.5%) is a sparkling, medium sweet perry and tastes similar to some ciders in my opinion. It’s very tasty and refreshing and is a less sweet option to the flavoured Lambrini drinks. The Skinny Original (ABV 3.5%) tastes very similar but has just half the amount of calories so is a great choice if you’re counting calories. It’s sweetened with sweeteneres which has a slight aftertaste but it’s very mild. It’s also got half the amount of alcohol compared to the Always Original so is a good choice for a drink to go with lunch for example.

• Conclusion

I’m very pleased that I’ve now tried the full range of Lambrini! I would definitely drink all but the cherry one again and will definitely purchase So Strawberry and Truly Peach when looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy on a sunny summery day.

Do you like Lambrini? Have you tried the fruity flavours?

I’m really struggling in this heat but one good thing is that the warm temperatures have made me expand my drink choices! ? Usually, I mainly drink coffee, water and red wine as needed but I’ve had lots of different things this weekend – including Lambrini for the first time! I didn’t really know what to expect but I have to say the Peach one and the Strawberry one are very delicious and perfect for hot summer evenings, served ice cold. ??? . . . . . #capturingcolour #myhappycapture #sunshine #heatwave #southyorkshire #outdoorsandhappy #ukexplore #lambrini #cheers #cheerstotheweekend #capturedfromabove #toohot #colddrink
