Well, quite a bit since you ask.

Juicy raspberry and tart redcurrant flavours have been expertly blended to create a deliciously fruity aperitif.

And it’s best served with fizz, so it’s time to get those champagne corks popping!

Simply fill a wine glass with ice and combine 50ml each of Pimm’s Sundowner and prosecco.

Top up with soda, then garnish with fresh raspberries.

“When the sun goes down, it’s time to spritz up!” a Pimm’s rep told us.

“Created especially for that sundowner moment with friends, this delicious new aperitif from PIMM’s is the ultimate way to bring a sense of occasion to your early evening catch ups this summer.”

What other new booze is launching for summer?

Ultra-premium vodka brand Ciroc also has a new summer offering, the limited-edition Summer Citrus.

Made from French grapes, it’s infused with natural citrus flavours to create a zesty taste.

Thriving with fruitiness, Summer Citrus has sun-kissed notes of bright blood orange, tangy freshly squeezed citrus and hints of lime zest, culminating in a silky-smooth finish.

And it’s been hailed as “summer in a bottle”, which us Brits might just need looking at the weather forecast!

How much does it cost and where can I get it?

However, it does come with a word of warning…
