Archers Aqua Cranberry

One of the reasons I love Christmas so much is because I can indulge my love of cranberries. I like most berries anyway, I'd rather eat a hand full of raspberries than an apple, but cranberries always remind me of Christmas in a way mixed spice always reminds me of mulled wine. So imagine my excitement as I walked into the outdoor and saw Archers Aqua in a new (to me anyway) flavour - cranberry!

Why is it alcohol tastes so much better now than years ago? I can’t drink larger or any other drink like that. When I was growing up drink was simply vile!
