About this product
Fresh Strawberries Meet Crystal-Clear Vodka.
Some strawberry drinks taste like strawberry. XUXU actually brings the fruit to the party. Fresh strawberries are gently processed into a smooth fruit pulp, preserving the characteristic flavour and even the tiny strawberry seeds, before being blended with crystal-clear vodka, fruit sweetener and a splash of lime.
The result is XUXU Strawberry, a bright, intensely fruity German vodka-based liqueur with a distinctive fresh-strawberry character. At 15% ABV, it sits comfortably between a traditional spirit and a full-strength cocktail, making it exceptionally easy to enjoy on its own or use as the starting point for something more elaborate.
Its vivid red colour and unmistakable strawberry aroma make it a natural party bottle, but there is more versatility here than first meets the eye. Serve it ice cold as a shot, pour it over crushed ice, mix it with sparkling wine or use it to create a wonderfully fruity twist on classic cocktails. For strawberry lovers in Ireland, XUXU is about as straightforward as it gets: very, very strawberry.
Why we love it:
XUXU manages to taste genuinely fruity without becoming a heavy, syrupy liqueur. The fresh strawberry pulp gives it a wonderfully natural fruit character, while vodka provides a clean base and lime adds just enough citrus freshness to keep everything lively. It is equally convincing as an ice-cold shot, a summer aperitif or the centrepiece of a playful cocktail.

Tasting notes
Colour
Vivid strawberry red with a naturally fruit-forward appearance.
Nose
Fresh, ripe strawberries immediately take centre stage, with a sweet and juicy character rather than an artificial candy-like aroma.
Palate
Intensely fruity and smooth, with ripe strawberry pulp, gentle sweetness and a clean vodka base. A splash of lime brings a subtle citrus sharpness that keeps the finish fresh.
Serving suggestion
XUXU is at its best seriously cold. Serve straight from the fridge as a shot, pour over crushed ice or use it as a fruity base for cocktails.
For something a little more celebratory, try XUXU Royal by topping it with chilled sparkling wine. The bubbles lift the strawberry fruit beautifully and turn it into an easy, colourful aperitif. It also works particularly well over vanilla ice cream or alongside desserts for a simple grown-up strawberry treat.
Serve well chilled for the freshest strawberry character.

About the producer
XUXU was created in Germany around a simple idea: put real strawberry character into the bottle rather than relying purely on flavourings. The fresh fruit is gently processed into strawberry pulp before being combined with crystal-clear vodka and a touch of lime. The brand has built its identity around this intensely fruity style, with the playful “Very, Very Strawberry®” slogan becoming almost inseparable from the bottle. Produced by Georg Hemmeter in Bavaria, XUXU has since become an established fruit-based vodka brand across European markets.
