From ABBA to the Ikea Billy Bookcase, the Swedes have brought many joyful things to the UK, and Flävar is no exception. This budding Swedish Schnapps brand offers ‘spirits to be savoured’, with a range of smooth, lower ABV vodka-based schnapps, and flavours inspired by Swedish treats.
The trend for flavoured spirits has grown as we make more cocktails at home (home cocktail consumption in the UK tripled during the pandemic) and retro cocktails are on the up too, with sales of Piña Colada and Tequila Sunrise up in the past year, and the comeback of Babycham, being made back in its old base in Shepton Mallet, Somerset and reviving the original recipe.
Sweet, fruity and light, vodka-based schnapps is making a comeback too, and Flävar has sold 100k bottles of schnapps since its launch in May 2022. Each high-quality innovative creation is wrapped up in a smooth and clear 25% ABV award-winning vodka-base, offering a lighter spirit, but one that goes big on taste.
Choose from 70cL bottles (£19.99) or the new Find your Flävar Gift Set (£24.99), which features five miniature 5 cL bottles of Flävar’s best-sellers, for you to enjoy as a shot, or to sip at a slower pace with a mixer. The light vodka base means it blends beautifully in cocktails too – head to Flävar’s cocktail recipe page to create your own quirky cocktail, like the Salted Caramel Martini or Lemon Pie Fizz. Or why not top up your Prosecco to add some flavour to your fizz?
Flävar’s exciting and unique flavour combination are, based on indulgent Swedish treats, and include:
Blueberry and Lemon – inspired by sweet and zesty blueberry muffins
Strawberry & Lime – with candy-sweet strawberries and a squeeze of lime
Salted Caramel – mouth-watering favourite for those with a sweet-tooth
Lemon Pie – zesty lemon and a generous dash of vanilla
Raspberry & Liquorice – with Sweden’s favourite warming treat, liquorice, this has real oomph
Crafted on the shores of Lake Boren in Southern Sweden, Flävar schnapps contain no additives or colouring, and 99% of ingredients are sourced locally from the Baltic region. Profits are reinvested back into sustainability initiatives, the distillery uses ground-sourced heating to avoid burning oil, people are employed locally, and water is sourced from Boren Lake.
The perfect stocking filler or NYE gift this Christmas, in vibrant and joyful packaging, the Find your Flävar Gift Set makes a great alternative to full-strength spirits, for those who want to enjoy lower alcohol drinks with great taste and fun flavours this party season.
