WKD is launching a new dark fruit flavour drink

It was the boozy choice of teens all over the country - now it's back, and jumping on a popular trend.

WKD has revealed it's following in the footsteps of Strongbow and Thatchers by launching a dark fruit version of their vodka-based alco-pop.

The popular flavour saw people in Wales creating Dark Fruit Slushes with the other brands - and there was even cocktail slush containing both Strongbow dark fruit and the original flavour WKD .

The new drink is sure to be a huge hit with '90s kids who will remember sipping bottles of the original blue flavour, which remains one of the highest selling alcopops.

Like WKD's other flavours, which include mango and pink gin, the dark fruit version boasts an alcohol by volume (ABV) of four per cent.

It comes in 275ml and 700ml size bottles and will be available in most shops and supermarkets from March this year.

However, prices haven't been confirmed yet.

A 700ml bottle of WKD Blue costing £3 in  TescoAsda  and  Sainsbury's , so we don't think it'll be too different.

If you want to stock up other flavours,  Sainsbury's  is selling a mixed multipack for £12 and it includes bottles of Original Blue, Mango Crush and Berry.
