A year after taking Australia by storm with -196 Double Lemon, something thatโd previously only existed within a โin you know, you knowโ kind of space for hard-partying foreigners visiting Japan, Strong Zero has unveiled the second domestically available -196 flavour: Double Grape.
Packing a healthy 6% ABV in each can, Strong Zero -196 Double Grape leverages the same signature Freeze Crush Infusion Technology as its lemony counterpart. For the uninitiated, this involves taking whole grapes frozen in liquid nitrogen at the eponymous temperature, pulverizing them, before soaking the lot in both shochu and vodka.
The result? An extreme, fresh-flavoured โnโ fruity drink topped with refreshing soda water that contains just 112 calories per can, zero grams of sugar, and zero compromise on taste/overall sipping experience. In other words, itโs very good value in terms of the staying-slim-on-the-terps to sesh fuel ratio.

โThe launch of -196 Double Lemon was last yearโs most successful premix launch in Australia and we know this new flavour is going to excite both those familiar with the original brand in Japan as well as our new local -196 fans,โ said Trent Chapman, Beam Suntory Marketing Director.
โGrabbing a pack of -196 Double Grape should feel like youโre reaching straight into the fridge of a convenience store in Tokyo. Unmistakably Japanese, we canโt wait for this next-level refreshment to hit Aussie shelves.โ
Strong Zero -196 Double Grape is set to hit the shelves of all major retailers here in Australia from late October 2022. The price? Similar to the -196 Double Lemon, $23 for a four-pack and $49 for a 10-pack.
