Sourz
The brightly colored sweet-and-sour liqueur you drink ice-cold as a shot or mix with 7-Up. Everything about the flavors, alcohol percentage, cocktails and the right glass to serve it in.
Sweet, sour and brightly colored
Sourz is a fruit liqueur with a sweet-and-sour taste, made for shots and simple mixed drinks. The brand started in Great Britain with Sour Apple, the bright green apple liqueur that became a hit in pubs and at student parties. Sourz is part of Suntory Global Spirits (formerly Beam Suntory) and is widely enjoyed in Great Britain and the Netherlands.
At 15% alcohol, Sourz is mild, and its balance of sweet and sour makes it easy to knock back a shot in one go. There are now six flavors, from Red Berry to Passionfruit. Sourz mixes well with 7-Up, tonic or soda, and is the basis for a quick Appletini.
In short
What Sourz flavors are there?
Sourz Sour Apple
The original and bestseller: bright green, sour and sweet like an apple candy. The basis for the Appletini.
Sourz Red Berry
Strawberry and raspberry with a sour twist. The sweetest of the six, bright red in the glass.
Sourz Raspberry
Full-on raspberry with a fresh, tart finish. Great with soda or prosecco.
Sourz Blackcurrant
Deep purple, with the taste of blackcurrant and cassis. A little less sweet than Red Berry.
Sourz Mango
Tropical mango with a sour edge. A summery flavor, delicious with soda and lime.
Sourz Passionfruit
Passionfruit, sweet and refreshing at once. Makes a quick base for a Pornstar Martini-style drink.
Sour Apple is the classic; Red Berry is the sweetest; Passionfruit is the surprise.
Sour candy in a glass
Green apple & candy
Sour Apple smells like sour apple candy; the other flavors smell like their respective fruits, always with a sweet, candy-like note.
Sweet and sour at once
First sweet, then a sharp, sour fizz that balances the sweetness. Light and refreshing, especially ice-cold.
Short and refreshing
A short, refreshing finish without any alcoholic warmth. You can barely taste the 15% alcohol.
The flavor profile of Sourz Sour Apple, served ice-cold. Red Berry is sweeter; Blackcurrant and Mango are a little drier.
Three ways to drink Sourz
Drink Sourz ice-cold. Put the bottle in the refrigerator or freezer; it won’t freeze because of the sugar.
Ice-cold as a shot
Pour 2 to 4 cl straight from the freezer into a shot glass and drink it in one go. For a “sour bomb,” drop the shot into a glass of energy drink.
