Magners, the premium Irish cider brand, has unveiled a fresh new look and bottle size for its popular Orchard Berries flavour – a clear 500ml bottle which shows the juicy red colour, packed with ripe strawberries, tangy raspberries and zesty blackcurrants.
The new-look Magners Orchard Berries is perfect for hot summer days, with a popular fruity taste and attractive bottle size; it’s an ideal accompaniment for picnics and parties with friends.
Offering an additional twist on the classic serve, Magners’ expert mixologists have created a range of fresh and exciting cocktails using Orchard Berries to coincide with the launch of the new-look bottle. Perfectly pairing the zesty flavour, the team has built a collection of deliciously refreshing drinks to highlight the fresh, fruity tones of the classic liquid.
Easy to create at home, the cocktails are designed in three mouth-watering variations:
