Product details
Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries is a flavoured English vodka at 37.5% ABV in a 70cl bottle, made by infusing Black Cow's whey-based vodka with pressed English strawberries. The fruit is locally sourced, often surplus or misshapen berries that would otherwise be thrown away. Nothing else goes in to sweeten it, so the flavour comes entirely from the strawberries. The result is a pale, light English strawberry vodka with no added sugar, aimed at drinkers who find most fruit vodkas too sweet and who like a garden-fresh taste in summer drinks.
Black Cow Strawberry flavour notes
- Nose: Freshly picked strawberries, a hint of strawberry leaf and soft cream.
- Palate: Light and fairly dry for a fruit vodka, with fresh strawberry, a touch of tartness and a creamy texture.
- Finish: Clean and delicate, with lingering summer berry.
How to serve Black Cow Strawberry vodka
Serve it chilled over ice in a tumbler, or lengthen it with soda for a lighter summer glass. Because it is unsweetened, fresh fruit garnishes really stand out. It suits a garden afternoon with scones, strawberries and cream, or a goat's cheese and beetroot salad, and travels well to a summer picnic.
Black Cow Strawberry cocktails
- Strawberry and Elderflower Highball: 50 ml over ice with 20 ml elderflower cordial, topped with 120 ml soda water and a sliced strawberry.
- Strawberry Martini: stir 50 ml with 10 ml dry vermouth over ice and strain into a chilled glass, garnished with a thin strawberry slice.
How it compares
Compared with Black Cow Pure Milk Vodka, this version is lighter in body and fruit-led, at 37.5% rather than 40%. Against Au Strawberry Burst, a sweet red spirit drink at 35.2%, it is noticeably drier and tastes of fresh fruit rather than sweets. If you want a natural strawberry vodka rather than a confectionery one, this is the bottle to pick.
Good to know
Black Cow began on a West Dorset dairy farm, and using surplus local fruit follows the same no-waste thinking as its whey base. Wodka Company sends Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries 70cl to customers across the UK, and it makes a thoughtful summer gift.
Frequently asked questions
Is Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries sweetened?
No. Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries has no added sugar or sweeteners, so every bit of its flavour comes from pressed English strawberries. That makes it noticeably drier and lighter than most strawberry vodkas.
Why does Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries use misshapen fruit?
Black Cow presses locally grown English strawberries that are misshapen or surplus and would otherwise be thrown away. Using this fruit fits the brand's wider approach of turning by-products into spirit, just as its base vodka is made from leftover whey.
What mixer goes with Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries?
Elderflower and soda water suit Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries well: a little elderflower cordial over ice, a long top of soda and a sliced strawberry. Tonic water is a drier alternative that keeps the fresh berry flavour to the fore.
