Fever-Tree — a premium mixer brand now distributed in partnership with Molson Coors — has expanded nationwide availability of its Pineapple Ginger Beer and Classic Mojito Mix. This announcement will bring both products to a wider range of retailers, including Albertsons and Kroger for the ginger beer and broader national distribution for the mojito mix in early summer.
Fever-Tree's Pineapple Ginger Beer combines the brand’s signature blend of three ginger varieties with pineapple and Mexican Tahiti lime. This recipe is presented in 200-millilitre glass bottles in four-packs. The Classic Mojito Mix, on the other hand, pairs Mexican Tahitian limes with Moroccan spearmint in 750-millilitre bottles. Both beverages are available without artificial sweeteners or colours.
Fever-Tree's expansion taps into consumer interest in tropical flavors and rum-based cocktails, with the pineapple ginger beer having received industry recognition including a double gold award at the SIP Awards and gold ratings from the Beverage Testing Institute and the New York International Spirits Competition.

Why This Trend Is Growing
- Tropical Flavor Mainstreaming
- Widespread consumer appetite for pineapple, Tahitian lime and spearmint profiles signals potential for new shelf-stable tropical cocktail formats that compete with fresh-ingredient drinks.
- Premium Mixer Retail Expansion
- Availability in national grocery chains illustrates how premium mixer brands can scale distribution beyond specialty outlets to reach everyday shoppers and redefine mixer category pricing tiers.
- Clean-label Cocktail Convenience
- Demand for beverages without artificial sweeteners or colors points to growth in ready-to-serve, clean-label cocktail solutions that bridge craft-cocktail quality and at-home convenience.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Beverage Manufacturing
- Smaller-batch flavor innovation and premium ingredient sourcing create openings for manufacturers to launch higher-margin, award-winning mixers that disrupt commoditized soft-drink portfolios.
- Retail Grocery Chains
- National grocers expanding mixer assortments can reshape impulse and seasonal purchasing by integrating premium cocktail components alongside spirits and fresh produce.
- Alcoholic Spirits
- Rum and other spirits brands have scope to co-develop branded mixer pairings and bundled offerings that alter traditional on-premise promotion and at-home cocktail consumption patterns.
