Schweppes Russchian

Schweppes Russchian is a mixer drink designed to mix with vodka. It comes in a one litre plastic bottle with a screw cap and free measuring cap for spirits attached to the top. This fizzy drink is a very pale pink in colour and it has a fruity, aromatic kind of smell. It contains cirtic acid, and colourant made from grape skins. This is where the pink colour comes from. It also contains sugar and saccharin. A hundred mils of this mixer contains 25 kcals and 5.9 grams of sugar. So, if you mix a small shot of vodka with a hundred mils of mixer, you get a drink which only has 65 calories. I think this is great if you are on a diet and fancy ...  Read the complete review

I always drink Vodka when I go out as it's the only drink that doesn't give me an awful hangover the next day! To be honest I don't really enjoy the taste of vodka unless its mixed with red bull which after a bit can get boring and has been known to make me feel like I'm bordering on a fit!!

I got it from Morrisons but have ...  Read the complete review

This schweppes russian wild berry sparkling mineral water sounds like it would be a lightly flavoured, slightly sweetened, but refreshing sparkling drink. Perfect for a hot summer's day or possibly even with a tad of something harder splashed in of an evening. Unfortunately, it does not live up to these expectations. The drink is overly sweet and cloying, sticking in the back of your throat when you drink it. Not very refreshing at all. This could possibly be mediated if it was ICE cold and served with extra ice cubes. Although I suspect then you'd be getting refreshed from the melting ice in the glass and the condensation on the lip of the glass as you drink. ...  Read the complete review

I was given a bottle of this when I was having a gathering at my house and as most of us girls like Vodka it seemed like an excellent mixer. The drink itself is a light shade of pink and it has an exotic aroma, which is quite appealing. It does indeed work well with Vodka but it does have quite a bitter taste, which I was not expecting and to me it's similar to drinking a diluted cranberry juice as it has that dry bitter quality. After my first glass I decided to add a splash of lemonade along with the Schweppes Russchian and vodka and I found that this really helped as it added a sweetness that the drink really needed. Overall I would say that this is a ...  Read the complete review
