Shloer Berry Punch

I've given the limited edition Berry Punch flavour from Shloer a try.



The colour is an appealing red, like Rosé wine. Straight after opening the bottle you are hit by the fantastic aroma; a combination of blackberries and spices. The taste is amazing, it's not too sweet and certainly not sour.

They recommend serving it with pieces of pear and blackberries or raspberries but I had it just by itself and was very pleased.

Like all the other schoer drinks you will find no preservatives, artificial colours, sweeteners or flavourings. All flavours are suitable for vegetarians and are best served chilled.

But you'll have to hurry up if you want to give this one a try as Berry Punch with its berry flavours and a warming hint of spice is only on the shelves for a limited time - until March 2012.

It's all in the serve
Whether it's enjoyed after returning from a beautiful woodland walk or sitting around the fireplace on a crisp winter evening, Shloer's Berry Punch is best served over ice and quintessentially English fruits. For the taste of the English countryside, pour over slices of pear and blackberries for a sparkling and fruity autumnal drink, perfect for sharing.

Shloer uses only the best ingredients to create a delicious non-alcoholic sparkling juice drink. All varieties make a tasty-grape based alternative to alcohol, suitable for the family - including those who want to enjoy the winter months without drinking alcohol. Shloer contains no preservatives, artificial colours, sweeteners or flavourings and is available from all supermarkets.
