Anyone who has holidayed in Japan and tasted the sweet nectar that is Strong Zero knows it needs no introduction but, alas, let us paint you a pretty picture. The sinfully good sip is a pre-mix potion of shochu, vodka, soda and lemon and can be compared to sucking on a sweet, booze-infused lemon drop. The Aus-friendly version, -196 Double Lemon, is made a little differently to its popular predecessor and actually flash freezes a whole lemon with liquid nitrogen to get that particular bite before it’s smashed and soaked in alcohol. The other notable difference – which is a bonus for our livers – is that the new sip is lower in alcohol, sitting at a humble 6 percent instead of the 9-percent ABV of the OG drink.

Thankfully, we won’t have to wait long to wrap our lips around a can of this citrusy concoction. You’re able to snag -196 Double Lemon at independent retailers now and these bad boys will be rolling out at leading liquor stores soon. A four pack will cost you just $22 or go all out and rip in to a ten-tin slab for $47 – there’s no harm in securing a few extras.
