J2O Mocktails: Blackberry & Blueberry Martini (Asda) By @Cinabar

Just to be completely honest, despite watching every single Bond movie, I’ve never had a Martini. Not shaken, not stirred. I might not be the best person to test for authenticity in the flavour of this drink, but I do like a grown-up soft drink, so I bought some of these mocktail cans anyway. This Blackberry & Blueberry Martini is part of the new range from J2O, where they are making mocktails.

I poured the J2O can, and the drink inside is juice-based and not fizzy. I know enough to know Martini isn’t fizzy either! The drink is a rich, dark purple-red colour. The flavour is lovely; it isn’t too sweet, but the dark fruits shine through. I liked that the berry taste had bite, and I thought the sharpness of the blackcurrant was spot on. At the end of the drink, there is a slightly bitter taste. I suspect this was recreating the Martini element, and I thought it gave the drink a nice, mature feel. I’d happily buy these J2O Mocktails: Blackberry & Blueberry Martini drinks again. I will also be looking out for other flavours.
