Summer Mixed – large

Summer Mixed by Lakrids by Bülow with three summer flavors

Summer Mixed by Lakrids by Bülow is the large summer tin featuring LEMON, Sour Strawberry, and Pink Pineapple. Yellow, green, and pink are mixed together colorfully inside—515 grams for a table where several people are sitting.

Summer Mixed is the summery liquorice blend from Lakrids by Bülow of Denmark. In the tin, flavors meet that are otherwise sold individually, and because they differ significantly in both color and character, reaching in becomes a little decision.

Yellow, green, and pink side by side

Upon opening, it is immediately clear that there is more than one variety in the tin.

The yellow one is LEMON with a salty core and lemon, the green one is Sour Strawberry with red liquorice and strawberry, and the pink one is Pink Pineapple with pineapple and a mild core. Salty, sour, and tropical sit so closely together that every piece makes the next one feel fresh again.

Why the flavors don't blend together in the tin

Each piece has a thin coating of gum arabic, shellac, and carnauba wax.

This layer keeps moisture and aroma right where they belong, which is why the lemon still tastes like lemon after weeks in the mix, rather than like strawberry. At the same time, it provides the silky sheen you see as soon as the light hits the open tin. Without it, the mixture would have collapsed into a single note after a short time.

White chocolate as the common denominator

What connects the varieties is the white chocolate beneath every shell, mild enough not to overpower any of the fruits.

Underneath, blackcurrant and cranberry provide a darker berry note, a bit of salmiak adds that Nordic edge, and malic acid pulls everything together at the end. The centers are cooked with rice flour instead of wheat flour, making them gluten-free. The core itself remains the same in all three varieties and intentionally takes a backseat to the fruit.

The tin for the long table

This mixture is available only in the large tin, and there is a reason for that: it is intended as a supply.

It stays on a garden table all afternoon, and because there are several varieties inside, everyone reaches for a different one and talks about it. Anyone not yet familiar with the Lakrids assortment can form an opinion fastest here, because three varieties side by side say more than as many jars one after another.

Place the jar in a cool spot before serving, so the fruit notes stand out more clearly. Lakrids releases the summer edition only during the warm months; after that, it disappears until next year.

On the buffet, it is better left open than poured into a bowl, because the jar shows off the colors and the lid protects the rest. Anyone taking it out to the terrace should move it out of the sun, as warmth makes the sugar coatings sticky.

As a gift, this size has its own tone: it is meant for the entire household and not for individuals, making it suitable for occasions like a housewarming or a long weekend with guests. Experience has shown that on the kitchen table, it disappears faster than its net weight might suggest.

Anyone who particularly likes one of the three can find them individually as LEMON or as C – Sour Strawberry, along with Pink Pineapple with pineapple. For gifting, the small SUMMER Selection Box has the better format, and the rest of the Lakrids by Bülow assortment can be found in the brand overview.
