Suntory -196 Lemon & Passionfruit pairs zesty lemon with the tropical sweetness of passionfruit, layered over a base of vodka, shochu and soda. It's a vibrant addition to the cult Japanese -196 range, finished in the brand's signature 330ml can.
The flavour profile leans juicy and bright, the passionfruit lifting the citrus rather than weighing it down. Carbonation keeps the can drinking light, and the finish stays clean rather than sticky, making it easy to enjoy across long sessions.
The -196 name comes from Suntory's "freeze crush" technique, where whole fruit is flash-frozen at minus 196 degrees Celsius before being crushed into the base liquid. The process locks in fresh fruit character and is what gives the range its trademark depth of flavour.
