Quick Facts: ABV: 4.5%  |  Origin: Vimmerby, Sweden  |  Style: Flavored Pear Cider  |  Producer: Åbro Bryggeri (est. 1856)

Production & Heritage

Åbro Bryggeri has been under continuous family ownership for four generations, operating from the same Vimmerby site in the Småland region of southeastern Sweden. Rekorderlig ciders begin with a fermented base of apple and pear juices sourced from European orchards, then blended with natural mango and raspberry fruit concentrates. A defining element of production is the brewery's use of pure spring water drawn from a local source near Vimmerby, which contributes to the cider's clean, crisp character and distinguishes it from many mass-produced competitors that rely on municipal water supplies.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe tropical fruit leads the nose, followed by a wave of fresh berry sweetness. A subtle floral hint rounds out the aromatics without becoming cloying.

Taste: The entry is bright and tropical, with juicy mango dominating the first sip. Mid-palate, raspberry tartness emerges and adds a zesty counterpoint. The pear cider base keeps things grounded, lending a gentle, orchard-fruit backbone beneath the bolder flavors.

Finish: Medium in length, fresh and sweet with lingering berry notes. The carbonation lifts the final impression, leaving a clean, refreshing close.

How to Drink Rekorderlig Mango Raspberry

Serve ice-cold, straight from the can or poured over ice in a tall glass — this cider is built for chilled drinking and benefits from staying well below room temperature. It also works as a versatile mixer: try it in a Cider Spritz, topping it with prosecco and a squeeze of lime for a light, tropical aperitif; in a Mango Raspberry Mule, pairing it with ginger beer and fresh mint for a fruity riff on the classic; or in a Tropical Shandy, blending it half-and-half with a light wheat beer for a sessionable summer drink.

Best For

• Summer barbecues and outdoor gatherings where a light, crowd-friendly option is needed
• Introducing cider-curious drinkers to the fruit cider category
• Pairing with spicy Asian or Caribbean dishes that benefit from fruity sweetness
• Casual weeknight refreshment when a low-ABV alternative to cocktails is preferred

Why Rekorderlig Mango Raspberry?

What separates this cider from the crowded flavored-cider shelf is its production pedigree. Åbro Bryggeri's 168-year history and commitment to Vimmerby spring water result in a noticeably cleaner base than many competitors, allowing the mango and raspberry flavors to read as genuinely fruity rather than artificially sweetened. The pear cider foundation — less common than the apple bases most brands default to — adds a subtle softness that keeps the tropical notes from becoming one-dimensional. For anyone seeking a fruit cider that tastes like it was made by people who actually care about what goes into the bottle, this four-pack delivers.
