Red Bull is expanding its flavored energy line with Red Bull Glacier Edition. This new option is a Frosted Raspberry drink with a light blue design for the can. It is aimed at energy drink shoppers looking for a colder seasonal taste. The full-sugar release joins the brand’s Editions range and gives Booker retailers and Tesco stores a fresh flavor hook from 12th October.
A 250ml can keeps entry pricing approachable for first-time buyers. On the other hand, there is the option of the 473ml size which gives regular buyers a simple trade-up without switching brands. Red Bull plans a wider rollout early next year, so the exclusive window gives those retail partners an early novelty play.
