Grape-flavored beverages are in high demand thanks to their bold, sweet taste and strong nostalgia factor, leading to the launch of BeatBox Beverages' Mystic Grape. "Grape has been one of the most-requested, most-hyped flavors in our brand's history," said Brad Schultz, Co-Founder & CMO at BeatBox.
This high-ABV party-friendly beverage for adults, packaged in a resealable carton, promises to take taste buds on a cosmic adventure with the sweet, tart and juicy taste of sun-ripened grapes. Inherently, grape flavors remind of childhood treats and carefree moments, transporting adults back to simpler times of slurping popsicles or trading bubblegum with friends.
This new variety expands the brand's lineup of 11.1% ABV party punches in bold, refreshing, fruity flavors, and Mystic Grape is set to make its official festival debut at Lollapalooza 2025.
