The Koloa Rum sparkling Hawaiian rum cocktails are a series of effervescent refreshments being launched into the US market for consumers to pick up this summer. The drinks come in four flavors including Pineapple Mango, Guava and Coconut, which are each crafted using premium Kauai White Rum. The cocktails come in four-packs of 335ml cans, which makes them great for keeping on hand when guests stop over or for bringing to a get-together.
President and CEO Bob Gunter commented on the Koloa Rum sparkling Hawaiian rum cocktails saying, "Over the past four years, we have watched the rising popularity of canned cocktails in the market, and we recognise that this is the opportune time for Koloa Rum to enter this product category. We’re proud to first introduce it to our Hawaii ohana as a way to show our appreciation for years of endless support.”
