Following on the heels of a highly anticipated summer announcement, Coca-Cola with Coffee has launched, hitting the shelves of select markets.
The caffeine-infused beverage now arrives in three flavor profiles, including Dark Blend, Vanilla, and Caramel. The iconic beverage brand opted to not stray too far from its instantly recognizable design, and the new drinks arrive in a slim, 12-ounce can that's outfitted with the company's red palette. What's more is that Coca-Cola with Caffeine also arrives in a sugar-free iteration.
In an effort to promote the new product launch, the company set up a drone delivery service in Georgia, enabling consumers to schedule a drone-based drop-off, free of charge. Following the launch, the caffeine cans will be rolled out throughout the US.
