🍹 Suntory's -196 Strong Zero Acerola Cherry is a bold canned drink that offers a vibrant punch of fruitiness, thanks to its unique production process.
Produced by Suntory Spirits in Japan, this chu-hi leverages a distinctive method where whole acerola cherries are frozen with liquid nitrogen before being pulverized and macerated. This technique captures the pure essence of the fruit, resulting in a drink that's both refreshing and intense.
The profile is a perfect mix of sweet and sour, offering a juicy fruitiness without the extra sugar. It's crisp and fizzy, making it a lively choice for those looking for a full-flavored experience.
With 7% ABV, it's a ready-to-drink option that combines the punch of acerola with fizz, ensuring every sip is as refreshing as it is flavorful.
