Rekorderlig have made a brand new Parma Violets-flavoured cider
It looks as incredible as it sounds!

In news that will seriously enhance your summer plans, Rekorderlig have released a series of brand new flavours that look incredible - and one of them apparently tastes like Parma Violets.
Officially named as a Blackberry And Violet flavour, the bottle is part of the brand's new Premium Botanicals range, and is an incredible pretty purple colour. Not only is it 4%, but it's also gluten free and vegan-friendly!
At £2 for a 330ml bottle, you really can't go wrong - but it gets better when you realise that the delicious-looking drink is actually on offer at Tesco on a three for £5.25 deal!
Also included in new range are flavours Rhubarb Lemon Mint, Peach And Basil and Grapefruit And Rosemary, and they're all in the offer along with original flavours Mango And Raspberry, Wild Berries, Strawberry-Lime and Passion Fruit.
People have taken to Twitter to share their awe at the new flavour, with many seeming incredulous over the innovative taste. One wrote, 'Parma violet cider shouldn't work, but it really does', and another added, 'Parma violet cider oddly tastes good too.'
Swipe through to see all the discontinued chocolate bars that we wish would come back...
1) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!

21) Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.
1) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!
2) Cadbury Coconut Boost
The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!
3) Mars Delight
That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.
4) Cadbury Marble
Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.
5) Cadbury Spira
Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM.
6) Time Out
The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.
7) Cadbury Snow Flake
The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!
8) Rowntree's Cabana
Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?
9) Trio
TRIO! TRIOOOO! I want Trio and I want one now!
10) Cadbury Dream
Possibly one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas.
11) Cadbury Fuse
Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.
12) Terry's Pyramint
Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!
13) KitKat Senses
We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.
14) Milkybar Choo
We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.
15) Cadbury Taz Bar
When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.
16) Twix Top
This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!
17) Cadbury Snaps
They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!
18) Rowntree's Secret
Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.
19) Cadbury Wispa Mint
We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.
20) Texan
The mighty chew.

Rekorderlig isn't the only cider brand to bring out a Parma Violets-flavoured cider, as cider brand Brothers brought out their very own Parma Violets cider in March this year. They said of the flavour, 'Parma Violet has arrived, a delicate flavour of sweet violets with a subtle hint of floral notes and delicious local Somerset apples. Brothers Parma Violet cider is perfectly refreshing and best served over ice.'
