Brookvale Union says that while Australian consumers might be familiar with its staple RTD range that aims to be refreshing, the new release stays true to Brookvale's clean and simple ingredient method, but is 'boozier' than usual, with a six percent ABV. 

Brookvale Union Vodka Lemon Squash is made using real lemon juice concentrate and is low in sugar. 

Four Pines Brewing COO Todd Atkinson said the team at Brookvale Union recognised a growing consumer trend for nostalgic and familiar flavours.

"Drinkers are wanting uncomplicated drinks, so we chose the pub classic lemon squash to match this consumer energy," said Atkinson. 

Brookvale Union Vodka Lemon Squash is available from Dan Murphy's and BWS for RRP $24 for a pack of 4.
