Punchy Cucumber, Yuzu & Rosemary

Overall

92%

It may be dreary and grey outside. There may even be chunks of ice hailing from the skies right now, but inside this can of Punchy's Cucumber, Yuzu and Rosemary soft punch it's a balmy Balearic afternoon and it's a welcome reprieve!

This review could have been distilled into a single word: fresh. Or three words: fresh, fresh and fresh. In fact you won't find anything fresher in a can. Fact.

Cucumber is the dominant aroma, spritzed into the air when the can is cracked. Cucumber is also the dominant flavour but it's backed up by a bright yuzu citrus body and balanced out beautifully by an aromatic rosemary woodiness, adding depth and shifting things just off-kilter enough to hook you in for a deeper taste.

This drink would be a perfect summer refresher but it's so good it can transport you to your pool-side happy place regardless of the hailstones outside!
