Kopparberg's Strawberry & Lime Cider - The true nectar of the the gods

I was invited to a friends 30th birthday party in West London and at the they had only a few kinds of ciders, one of which was this gorgeous drink.

They served it over ice and the second the first few drops hit my lips I was already converted to its deliciousness and knew that it had instantly earned a place in my weekly grocery list.

It was quite strawberry without being at all sickly sweet and served chilled it was a real thirst quencher.
