Kopparberg has launched a new flavoured gin and it’s perfect for nostalgia fans.
The fruity new gin – which goes on sale today (October 7) – takes its inspiration from the “undeniably recognisable” flavour of the brand’s Pear Cider.
Kopparberg said it “kick-started the fruit cider revolution” back in 1999 with its “iconic” Pear Cider.
And now it’s had something of a botanical makeover, with the brand launching its first-ever limited-edition Pear Gin.
What’s the new Kopparberg gin like?
“The new, limited-edition gin gives us the ultimate throwback, with the undeniably recognisable famous flavours of Kopparberg’s Pear Cider, but with a refreshing twist,” said a rep.

The new gin bursts with the same crisp pear flavour that made its fruit cider famous 20 years ago.
Best served over ice with lemonade and a slice of pear, Kopparberg said it’ll be releasing Pear Gin cocktail combinations soon, so watch this space!
Perfect for autumnal evenings, Kopparberg said the “punchy” new gin is a “”crisp and warming spirit” that Brits will find hard to resist.
What do gin and cider fans say about the launch?
“Pear Gin sounds nice about now,” said one soon-to-be fan on Instagram.
Another gushed: “Oh my god here here… my absolute fave!!! @Kopparberg you’re actually legends!”
Kopparberg Pear Gin is here for a limited time only and we expect it to be hugely popular this season, so make sure you grab a bottle whilst it’s still on shelves.
“My word, think I’ll need to try this one,” said another.
“Oooh deffo needed,” another declared.
“Sexy!” said another. “I want some now!”
‘We expect it to be hugely popular’
Kopparberg’s Rob Salvesen said: “When we launched Kopparberg Pear Cider back in 1999, it completely transformed the way drinkers enjoyed cider and revolutionised the cider market in the UK as we know it.
