Product details
Soplica Exotic Cactus and Watermelon is a Polish watermelon vodka liqueur with a crisp green cactus note, bottled at 21% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Its Polish label reads Egzotyczna Kaktus•Arbuz, and it is one of the lightest flavours in the Soplica Exotic range. The cactus brings a gentle, refreshing tartness that stops the juicy watermelon from becoming cloying. It is made for warm-weather drinking: garden afternoons, picnics and long drinks over plenty of ice.
Nose, palate and finish
- Nose: Freshly cut watermelon, a green, slightly vegetal cactus note and a hint of cucumber skin.
- Palate: Light and juicy, with moderate sweetness and a crisp, tart edge that keeps each sip refreshing.
- Finish: Short and clean, leaving watermelon on the tongue.
With little weight on the palate, it behaves more like a base for summer coolers than a dessert drink, and fans of watermelon liqueur will find it less sugary than most.
How to drink Soplica Exotic Cactus and Watermelon
Keep the bottle in the fridge and serve it at about 4°C, either neat in a small chilled glass to sip slowly or over ice in a tumbler. Light summer food suits it best: grilled halloumi, a watermelon and feta salad with mint, chilled gazpacho or a plate of fresh prawns. It belongs to barbecues and sunny weekends rather than winter evenings.
Soplica Exotic Cactus and Watermelon cocktails
- Cactus Rita: shake 50 ml with 20 ml lime juice and 10 ml agave syrup, then strain over ice into a salt-rimmed glass.
- Garden Spritz: 40 ml in an ice-filled wine glass with 80 ml dry white wine and 60 ml soda water, garnished with a mint sprig.
How it compares
Next to Soplica Exotic Dragon Fruit and Melon, this bottle tastes greener and less sweet, because the dragon fruit version is softer, rounder and faintly floral. Soplica Exotic Mango and Coconut is far creamier and heavier. All three share the 21% strength of the Exotic line, so the choice comes down to fresh and tart, mellow and sweet, or rich and tropical.
Good to know
Soplica built the Exotic line around unusual fruit pairings, and this is one of its more surprising combinations. The Soplica Exotic Cactus and Watermelon 50cl bottle is a practical size to share at a barbecue or summer get-together. Wodka Company ships Soplica Exotic Cactus and Watermelon across the UK from north London.

Najlepiej podawać mocno schłodzony, do około 4°C, z lodem albo jako long drink z sokiem z limonki i wodą gazowaną.
