Product details
Boë Dark Fruits Vodka is a Scottish vodka flavoured with blackberry and blackcurrant, bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle. Its deep colour shifts when you add lemonade or citrus juice, so this colour-changing dark fruits vodka puts on a small show as you mix. Unlike many fruit drinks sold at lower strength, it is a full flavoured vodka, which means the berries sit on a drier base. It suits anyone who enjoys hedgerow fruit, from long summer drinks to autumn evenings by the fire.
Boë Dark Fruits tasting notes
- Nose: Blackberry jam and blackcurrant, with a hint of hedgerow leaf.
- Palate: Juicy dark berries, a touch of tartness and clean vodka warmth.
- Finish: Fruity and fairly dry, with lingering blackcurrant.
Serving Boë Dark Fruits
Fill a highball with ice, pour 50 ml and add the mixer at the table so everyone sees the colour change. Boë Dark Fruits with food works better than you might expect: its tart berries suit venison, roast duck or a cheeseboard with a creamy blue cheese. Served long over ice, it also makes a good drink for a Bonfire Night gathering.
What to mix with Boë Dark Fruits
- Dark Fruits Lemonade: 50 ml over ice, topped with 150 ml lemonade and garnished with a few blackberries.
- Hedgerow Sour: shake 50 ml with 25 ml fresh lemon juice and 10 ml sugar syrup over ice, strain over crushed ice and drizzle 10 ml crème de mûre on top.
How it compares
Compared with Au Black Grape Vodka Spirit Drink, which is sweeter and bottled at 35.2%, Boë Dark Fruits is drier and more tart. If you want a blackberry and blackcurrant vodka with real bite of fruit acidity, this is the one. Chase Rhubarb Vodka is another 40% British fruit vodka, but with a sweet-sour rhubarb and citrus profile instead of dark berries.
Good to know
Boë Vodka comes from a Scottish brand better known for its brightly coloured flavoured gins, and Dark Fruits brings the same style to vodka. Wodka Company delivers Boë Dark Fruits Vodka 70cl across the UK, from Cornwall to the Highlands.
Frequently asked questions
Does Boë Dark Fruits Vodka change colour?
Yes. Boë Dark Fruits Vodka shifts colour when lemonade or citrus juice is added, so pour the mixer at the table to watch the effect. A few fresh blackberries make a fitting garnish.
Is Boë Dark Fruits a vodka or a spirit drink?
Boë Dark Fruits is a flavoured vodka, not a lower-strength spirit drink, so its blackberry and blackcurrant sit on a dry vodka base. That gives Boë Dark Fruits a tarter, less sugary profile than sweet fruit spirit drinks such as Au Black Grape.
What food goes with Boë Dark Fruits Vodka?
Boë Dark Fruits Vodka works with rich, gamey dishes, since its blackcurrant tartness behaves a little like a fruit sauce. Try Boë Dark Fruits alongside venison, roast duck or a creamy blue cheese.
