We all remember Callippo Shots, the juice flavoured ice drops we rely on to cool down and refresh with in the summer. These shots are now back on the market, although most supermarkets have not caught on they are available to buy in multipacks from wholesalers. Or if you don’t fancy stocking your freezer with them, why not try your local corner shop? Plus each flavour is low in calories with some having just 25 calories!

Strawberry and Lemon

If you want a Callippo shot that tastes like summer, then their Strawberry and Lemon flavour is the one for you. As who can resist the taste of sweet strawberries mixed with the bitter taste of lemons.

Cola and Lemon

Instead of drinking a glass of cola and forgetting to drop in a lemon wedge, you can now enjoy the cola lemon combination as a Callippo shot.

Cherry and Banana

Although cherry and bananas may not be a classic combination, they certainly are a fruity twist for Callippo shots.

FAQs on Calippo Shots Flavours

The classic flavours you will see most often are Strawberry and Lemon and Cola. Other combos pop up occasionally in limited runs, but availability is patchy and usually through independents or wholesalers rather than the big supermarkets.

They were discontinued in 2020. Since then there have been sporadic returns in select stores and via wholesalers. There is no confirmed nationwide relaunch, so stock comes and goes depending on season and region.

Strawberry and Lemon is the fan favourite. It is the flavour most people remember and the one most often requested in petitions and throwback posts.

Occasionally you will see alternative mixes in specific regions or seasons. These are limited and not widely stocked, so your best chance is local cornershops or cash and carry depots.

Try independents, newsagents, and wholesalers that sell to convenience stores. Multipacks appear now and then, but the big supermarkets rarely list them. Stock varies by area and time of year.

A standard portion is very low in calories at around 25 to 35 calories per tub, which is why they are a go to summer snack for students watching their budget and intake.

They are water ice based and typically suitable for vegetarians. Vegan suitability can vary by flavour and market, so always check the ingredients list on the tub for confirmation.

It comes down to limited production and buyer priorities. Supermarkets focus on faster moving lines, so Shots are more likely to appear in independents that rotate niche ice creams through the summer.

Look for mini water ice lollies, sorbet tubs, or similar ice drop style treats from own brand freezers. Standard Calippo lollies and other low calorie ice sticks give a similar vibe for a decent price.

They are usually free from common allergens like milk and gluten, but recipes can change. Always read the label for allergen advice and check for may contain statements if you have allergies.
