The Badwater Tequila RTD range is a new lineup of libations that responds to the increasing popularity of ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails and tequila products in the UK, particularly amongst Gen Z consumers. The drinks prioritize a refreshing flavor profile that comes in three flavors including Pineapple Crush, Lime Margarita and Grapefruit Paloma, which are each made with real fruit juice. The canned cocktails come in 330ml cans that are sold individually for £2.75 each and have a 4.5% ABV to position them well against the existing competition on the market.
The Badwater Tequila RTD range was announced alongside news of a three-year distribution partnership with Proof Drinks that will see the brand reach a wide swath of market segments. This includes grocery, convenience and wholesale, which will also be coupled with brand activation support across the UK during events and festival season.
