Everything you need to know about älska 28

Cider - it’s delicious, refreshing and perfect for just about any occasion. As a classic British drink, you probably don’t need us to tell you what is so great about cider. But it's no secret to anyone that’s ever tasted a cider that they tend to be very high in both sugar and calories - one of the highest out of all of the alcoholic drinks, in fact. 

Here at DrinkWell, we know that many of our customers love the incredible taste of cider, but are not so keen on the calories and carbs provided by cider. That’s why we have spent so much time searching for what seemed like the impossible - a great tasting cider with a fraction of the carbs and calories of normal cider. Finally, our hard work has paid off, and we are so excited to bring to our customers, all the way from Sweden,  älska 28 Cider! Keep reading to find out what has got us so excited about this cider.

About älska 28 Cider

Creating a lower calorie and carb cider that still tastes great is no mean feat. That’s why we have huge respect and admiration for älska 28’s creators, The Swedish Cider Company. In order to meet the growing consumer trend of lower calorie alcohol, The Swedish Cider Company set themselves the challenge of creating a lower calorie no added sugar cider brand. älska 28 is the result of 18 months of hard work in Sweden, the UK and Ireland, and the end product is a fabulous tasting premium fruit cider. Don’t just take our word for it - in a blind tasting, älska 28 was determined to be on a par with the standard älska Cider! 

Alaska 28 is made from a premium fermented cider base, natural flavourings and water - simple! It is a natural product that is both gluten free and suitable for vegans. It is currently available in two super exciting flavours - Passionfruit, Peach and Mango and Blood Orange and Raspberry. In terms of taste, you can expect a crisp fruity flavor that invokes sunny beaches, garden parties and cosy nights in front of the fire. älska is all about pure love and top quality - älska is the Swedish word for love and älska 28’s creators truly believe in spreading pure love all over the world.

How Many Calories and Carbs Are in älska 28 Cider? 

In one 440ml can of älska 28 Cider, you will find just 123 calories - an astonishingly low figure for a fruit cider. To put that into perspective, that's less than half the amount of calories that you would find in the same size serving of Rekorderlig Strawberry & Lime (around 290 calories), or in a Henry Westons Oak Aged Herefordshire Cider (around 246 calories). 

Sugar in älska 28

If you think that’s impressive, wait until you hear about the sugar and carbs!
