Canned cocktail and spirits brand Cutwater has added a new limited-edition strawberry flavour to its RTD White Russian line.

The 13% ABV drink contains Cutwater’s vodka with coffee cream liqueur, made with real milk like the other variants included in Cutwater’s White Russian range.

Building on the ‘creamy decadence’ of the original, the new Strawberry White Russian adds the natural sweetness and flavour of strawberries, aiming to evoke ‘charming reminders of strawberries and cream and chocolate-covered strawberries’ and described as ‘the perfect nostalgic treat for any strawberry milk lovers’.

The trendy flavour launches just in time for Valentine’s Day, a time when strawberry and cream flavour innovations are a popular choice for limited-time offerings. It can be enjoyed straight from the can, or with additions such as sliced strawberries, chocolate shavings or a pink sugar and freeze-dried strawberries rim.
