Rekorderlig is a Swedish cider brand that’s carved out a significant slice of the UK flavoured cider market with its range of fruit-forward, sweet ciders. The passionfruit variant is one of their most popular — Sweden doesn’t grow passion fruit, but the combination of clean Swedish spring water and bright tropical fruit flavour is a genuinely appealing one. Love it or loathe it, Rekorderlig has done more than most to introduce people to the idea of cider as a refreshing, fruit-led drink.
Tasting Notes
It pours a clear, very pale golden colour with light carbonation. The nose is immediately tropical and sweet — passionfruit leads, with some citrus notes underneath. On the palate the passionfruit flavour is the whole story: sweet, vibrant, and tropical, with a clean fizzy quality that makes it very refreshing. It’s not a dry cider — it’s sweet and fruity and makes no apology for it. The finish is clean and the sweetness doesn’t linger uncomfortably.
Verdict
Serve ice cold over ice in a tall glass — this is absolutely a summer drink. Rekorderlig Passionfruit is exactly what it sets out to be: a sweet, tropical, refreshing cider that’s easy to drink and guaranteed to divide craft cider purists. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a perfectly good choice for a hot day when you want something fruit-forward and uncomplicated. Good fun.
