...the green apple variety!
Sourz is meant to be a shooter. It usually comes in shot glasses of (I guess) 25 ml, and is a bit on the expensive side unless you have a student bar near by like I do. (A double Sourz topped up with lemonade is only £2.35! and 50ml is about £1.55). But it comes in reasonally cheap bottles giving you 70 cl (which is the same as 700 ml) in supermarkets for around £9. I bought my only bottle of the delicious stuff from ASDA ... ...****************
As I said before, Sourz is meant to be drank in shots of about 25ml. Our student bar serves 50ml in a glass. The taste therefore is sort of non-existant as you gulp it back, then the intense sherbettyness (is that a word) hits you all at once. I tend to sip it slowly so that I get a prolonged tangyness and the drink lasts much longer. The manufacturers suggest you drink it straight over ice, or with carbonated water. Recently I've ...

Advantages: Nice taste, mixes well Disadvantages: None
...this have to do with Sourz liqueur, you’re no doubt asking yourself? Well, the answer is simple. Apart from Midget Gems (made by Lion, with the liquorice flavoured blacks), I was quite partial to a set of sweeties called “Apple Tarts”, which were apple flavoured, if you hadn’t guessed. They were boiled, sphere shaped sweets around the same sort of size as brandy balls etc. and they were lovely.
The taste of Sourz is remarkably like that of the Apple ... ...I recommend two parts of Sourz with one part of lemon vodka and plenty of ice for a nice drink with a bit of a kick.
I’ve been searching for this in off licences in my local town of Belfast, but it was my sister who finally found it, and bought me it as a pressie. If you’re looking for it, try these addresses:
JBB plc
310 St. Vincent Street
Glasgow
G2 5NG
Or:
Munson Shaw Co.
Deerfield

And on that note, I’m off to find my bottle ...

Advantages: Great for people who aren't a big fan of shots Disadvantages: Fairly low in alcohol really
...of the course, and Apple Sourz is one of the nicest ones around.
Sourz is a sweet/sour shot, with a very very intense flavour. It's not at all sickly, which is nice for these kind of 'cool' shots, and is the kind of drink which makes you gasp after you swallow it! It doesn't taste of booze, so it doesn't get down your throat and then suddenly make you feel sick. It is however very very flavoursome, so be prepared! I've never seen the bottle close ... ...I've never seen it on sale anywhere, although I have been told that it's available online.
Apple Sourz I think is one of those drinks which you tend to either love or hate - certainly that's what me and my friends find! But I'd definately recommend it! ...

Advantages: tastes great, versatile Disadvantages: can be sickly in volumes!
...a big apple (and cherry!) sourz fan!
It's a sweet-sour apple spirit and tastes great. Its smells really appley and sweet and that's exactly how it tastes. It comes in a 70cl bottle, which costs around £10 which I think is pretty good value. (£10.42 at Tesco, a few pence cheaper at Asda). It's 15% alcohol.
It's very sweet to drink, with a tangy-sour kick. This is not overly powerful or at all nasty, in fact I find it adds an interest to the drink. ... ...with friend - this is about 0.4 units of alcohol. I also use it as a cocktail ingredient or drink with lemonade or a dash of vodka, which is actually quite refreshing.
It vomed in a bright green bottle, but, make no mistake, the liquid is bright green too! It'sa very popular drink amongst my friends, and one that I don't think we'll ever tire of! ...

...time around it!
Apple sourz i love for many reasons, it tastes great as a shooter and as a mixed drink - mmmm cocktails.... more of that later. It has a slightly different bottle shape to the 'regular' bottles on my bar (obviously i refer to the bar i work at not the one in my wardrobe), so is more noticable, as its shorter and wider in diametre than others. Its a bright green colour so again under the lights on the bar it is quite visible. I believe ... ...it tastes of apples, with sourz in solid black lettering. The label on the back contains the usual rubbish, including ingredients list. The taste as advertised is very apple-ly and sour but has a sweetness to it too, when i drink it, i get a kind of 'buzzing' in my gums and tongue which is great then the actual taste, and then a very pleasant aftertaste which unlike most shooters wont make you feel ill, probably because it has such a low alcohol ...

Advantages: tasty and lasting taste in mouth Disadvantages: too strong.. (for me)
ok maybe i can't handle my drink very well but i found this quite strong to have on its own, its 15% alcohol volume and you can really taste it....
i was mixing it with cola on holiday which tasted alright but i found that its better with lemonade. still taste the apple and sourness to a much pleasant degree :)
you can get it for around £10 varies on shop to shop, i got mine from spain on holiday and that was around 12 euro's :O its a nice green ... ...a tinge of fizz. you get about 1.5L maybe less in the bottle and it will last a bit if you only have the drink now and then a spare it out with some lemonade :) but once opened you have upto about 6 weeks before you should bin it. ...

Advantages: Tastes great, its cheap and mixes well with other fruity liquers. Disadvantages: Low ABV, so it's not a very strong liquer.
Apple Sourz was the first shot I ever did as a student, and now, 3 years on, its still my shot of choice. Its a cheap shot at a bar which probably why its so popular amongst students, which shots at a bar being as low as £1.
Apple Sourz is an American Product, produced by Jim Bean Brands.
In itself its not a very stong liquer, being about 15%ABV. This makes it the perfect shot for those who don't particularly enjoy the taste of alcohol or those ... ...downing a few!
Apple Sourz is full of flavour and is great as either a shot or a mixer in a cocktail or just plain Sourz and Lemonade.
My personal favourite cocktail with Sourz in the mix is Appletini, Sourz with lemon vodka and apple juice, but with its gorgeous appley flavour its a good addition to any fruity cocktail.
A bottle of 70cl costs around £10/£11 which is good value for money considering its alcohol content and the fact that unlike ...

Advantages: Cheap. Great Taste. Disadvantages: None
As a person who doesnt drink with much variety as I cant find anything that i enjoy the taste of, i was given this as a shot when I went to a bar by my friend. At first it tastes quite sour (obviously well named) but after the first one you get used to the sourness of it and enjoy it as a apple shot. These can be quite cheap in bars usually about £1 but cna be more and in shops are about £10 which is a good price for the size of the bottle. These ... ...this is one of the only drinks I have when I go out. Its also i hit with quite alot of people as the last time I went out the bar that I was in had sold out of them, when they had quite a lot of bottles at the start of the night.
It can be drunk on its own or with something mixed in with it such as lemonade and still have the great taste.
I throughly recommend this as a drink to enjoy when out at a bar but also to be enjoyed at home. ...

Advantages: Tastes good, gets you lashed Disadvantages: Can be dangerous (too easy to drink lots)
...my first taste of apple sourz while on my summer holiday in Newquay. I was at a 'pound party' (all drinks £1) and couldn't fit any more pints in my stomach. A friend recommended I try this product, and try it I did. And try and try again. Unfortunately, everyone else seemed to have the same idea, and before you could say 'I'm not pished, honest' the bars were out of this magical liquid. I then moved on to tequila slammers, and proceeded to spew everywhere. ... ...want to do this, try Sourz as a chaser. I would recommend avoiding tequila slammers though.
So all in all, this is a cautious recommendation. The flavouring of the drink is excellent, but may be a little too much like sour apple flavour Haribos for some tastes. It also has a noticably artificial edge if you are drinking this when sober, and can taste a little like apple-flavoured white spirit (or so I am told by a mate with hyper-sensitive tastebuds). ...

Advantages: Tasty with mixer and not too strong Disadvantages: The bottle runs out eventually
The whole Sourz range has a new look! The new flavours are sooo tasty, especially when mixed. My favourite has to be Cherry Sourz and Coke. But apple Sourz is really nice with cranberry or lemonade. It's so sweet you can hardly taste the alcohol; and at 15% it doesn't blow you away. I've seen that blackcurrant and tropical Sourz are in the shops now and I really want to know if they're as good as apple and cherry. Someone told me that tropical, cherry ...

Sourz oh Sourz you make me happy and the sun is shining.... HaHa When I first tasted the new sourz I was surprised. Much stronger than the previous version and much more tastier. Its got a decadent taste and you can drink it as a shooter, on ice or mix it. But the best way for me is a Dbl Shot Vodka Absolute Cranberry, Single Shot Sourz and lemonade!! Wow , flavours. Sourz brings friends together and its a party freak a must have on any occasion. ...

This has to be one of THE tastiest shots you're going to find, personally I discovered it when on holiday and my friends and I bought "one of the funny looking green one" each...After that there was no stopping us and that was practically our sole beverage for the entire week!
