The drinks come in three options including Kola Champagne: Was Gwaan (what's up), [Pineapple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-passionfruit): Yeah Mon (Of course/sure) and Cream Soda: A Yah Suh Nice (I like the vibe), which each come in 330ml glass bottles. The drinks are being launched in the UK where shoppers can pick them up for £1.49 each. Brand Manager Dorota Dziedzic spoke on the Grace Island Soda range saying, "We are so excited to launch the Grace Island Soda range in time for May, which has three bank holidays.
