What is Sonnema Oranje Boven?

An orange bottle for orange days

Sonnema Oranje Boven is the special orange edition of Sonnema Berenburg, designed to make an extra splash at every celebration. The bottle contains the familiar Berenburg: distinctively delicious, with a firm bite and 30% alcohol, exactly like the regular bottle with the blue label.

The difference is in the packaging, not the flavor. That makes it ideal for a party with lots of guests: the one-liter bottle stands out among the bottles, and you can use it to serve the same Sonnema & cola and kopstoots as always. Sonnema itself recommends mixing it, with Sonnema & cola as the favorite.
