Vodka Reef

Advantages: It's cheap, good variety of flavours, it's 5%.
Disadvantages: You can go over the top with them

...for the evening was chosen, Vodka Reef. Reef was the first ever still alcopop sold, in fact I can't think of another one since either. It comes in a standard 275ml glass bottle with a tacky label that reads 'Vodka reef', the colour of the label depends on the flavour of the drink. As far as I am aware there are currently four different flavours available, all still fruit juices blended with vodka, lucky for you lot I have tried them all, so I'll ...
...I have always been a Vodka and Orange drinker. The addition of the Passion Fruit though makes the drink taste far more exotic, but also a lot sweeter. Some people would find this one too sweet. 9/10 Lemon and Lime This is far more tangy and zesty, one for those who don't have so much of a sweet tooth. The lemon and Lime is quite strong and completely masks the vodka in the drink, making it rather lethal. 8/10 Pineapple and Citrus This one is ... Read review

Advantages: Smooth fruity refreshing drink
Disadvantages: Can be too easy to drink and quite sweet

Saturday night saw me starting off in a local Firkin pub. I don’t tend to go there that often but we passed by and saw lots of posters advertising offers and thought we’d give it a go. Being a really girly girl who doesn’t like the taste of alcohol I looked straight away to see what alcopops were on offer. The offer until 8 that night was REEF – on BOGOF off – that’s Buy one get one free to you and me. They had ...
...of each, orange and cranberry. £2.60 for two bottles!!!!! The bar man suggested I drank it in a glass with a lot of ice. I tried this first with the orange Reef and found it to be a very refreshing drink. It had a very strong fruity orange taste which I think would have tasted a bit sweet had it not been for the ice. Saturday night I was in the mood for getting drunk so when I had half finished the orange Reef I poured some of the cranbery Reef in ... Read review

Advantages: Nice taste. make a change from beer
Disadvantages: Get you too hammered too quickly

...A handy way to disguise vodka in with a lemon drink. These drinks rely on their similarity to soft drinks to "mask" the alcohol. You therefore think you are drinking a refreshing soft drink. Wrong! With Reef, this is no different.However, Reef comes in a totally new concept to most "alco pops". This is that it in still rather than fizzy. Until now, the competitiors have been aiming their drinks at the "fizzy" generation. To liken them to Lemonade-type ...
...This tastes like a typical vodka based drink to me. Cold and with a bit of an aftertaste. The kick from these drinks is tremendous. Thanks to its 5%ABV content, it is a potent timebomb. The trouble you have with it is the ease at which it flows down your neck. VERY QUICKLY. It tastes so good and is so light to drink thanks to the lack of fizz, you soon end up drinking 6 or 8! While the fizz of a beer slows you down and lets you drink less, the ... Read review

Advantages: made with real fruit juices, great taste
Disadvantages: can drink too much very easily

...and like that (and like vodka of course) will like this. This really is like drinking a J20 with a shot of vodka. If you have never had that then think Vodka and Orange with a hint of passion fruit which really does give it that little something extra instead of plain old vodka and orange. Very nice. Overall I would rate this 9 out of 10. Red Berry and Kiwi Now this flavour I find so interesting that is why I will call it my fave out of the two. ...
...the WKD drinks available. Vodka reefs come in 275ml bottles, most supermarkets, off-licences and clubs and pubs stock reef, but maybe not in all the flavours. They are found with your usual suspects of archers aqua, WKD and Smirnoff ice, these are packaged in a glass bottle with a ribbed effect neck on the bottle. Our local safeways have been having two packs of four on offer for £7 which I think is really good value as I have been to a pub and ... Read review

Advantages: fruity, easy to drink
Disadvantages: the colour, too easy to drink

...planet. It is a bottled vodka and fruit juice drink that is available in a number of flavours. I tend to like them as they are still and the fruit juice does taste like real fruit juice so they are not too artificial tasting. The established flavours you can get them in are Kiwi and Red Berry (ok), Pineapple and Citrus (very refreshing), Apple and Mango (my personal favourite), Orange and Passion fruit (very tangy), Lemon and Lime (one for a hot ...
...you get. I found the vodka quite strong. It was noticeable enough to know you were drinking alcohol. I think this is good as some alcopops do not have the alcoholic taste and could get you easily sloshed. Then again these are very drinkable. The stillness of these makes them very easy to drink so watch it as they are 5% alcohol They are best drank cold with a lot of ice. Would I Buy it Again. Definably. This drink k is very drinkable. Do not be ... Read review

Advantages: Sweet, and helps you out at a party
Disadvantages: A bit strong, and can be sickly

...), I cannot tell you much as it is in Spanish! But it does say it is 17% vol. It was foolish of me poring all this. It had a distinctive toffee taste, which is rather nice, but after a big swallow, it tastes rather strong, and I pulled the faces you do when the strength gets to you! (Not quite as bad as when we had 80% vodka from going to Estonia the previous year)! But I certainly was not expecting this to taste quite so strong. I do not like baileys, but my mum said it is like baileys, but instead of coffee it is toffee. The colour is very similar, a sort of light creamy brown colour, with some thick texture to it! I prefer this drink once I have had a bit to drink before hand, (such as Vodka Reef). This way I cannot taste it so strong. There are probably people out there who can handle it better than me, but I do like it, but just... Read review

Advantages: Nice to drink
Disadvantages: Bad for you - medical risks

..., coke, orange or lemonade, we are now in an era where mixers are anything!!! I was drinking vodka mixed with reef over a xmas (and for those who are not sure reef is a bottle of vodka and fruit flavours). I know i over done it somewhat that night!!!! A very sore head in the am. It is now thought popular to mix your vodka with red bull, lucozade, orange cordial or anything else alcholic. I must admit (again) that i have vodka and white wine shots. So does it really matter the brand of the vodka when people mix it and change the taste anyway.... Read review

Advantages: An interesting variation on a theme
Disadvantages: Too many can be sickly

..., these could, were and are decent additions to the range. With the brightly coloured box, Orange After Eights don't seem to fit in quite so well, somehow. Indeed, in much the same way that fruit juice was added to vodka to become Reef and to Bacardi to become Breezers, so Orange After Eights seem like the Alco pop version of the famous mint. This whole colour scheme affects the eating experience. Whereas with normal After Eights, teasing the dark chocolate from the dark paper envelope felt like the beginning of a high class decadent experience, with the orange envelope, it feels like a smash and grab. Maybe my perceptions are coloured by my main experience of even the mint After Eights being at Christmas time at my parents, though. When I shared a box with a friend, she was most amused at the way I was eating them. "For someone who doesn... Read review
