The Hooch draught is making its debut at the Northern Restaurant & Bar show in Manchester as a new option from the ready-to-drink (RTD) alcohol brand that will offer bar patrons something new to try out. The launch will see the brand's signature alcoholic lemonade being available for bars to offer on tap and is arriving alongside specialized tap handles to help further promote the new offering to consumers in bars and restaurants. The product is also being launched with bespoke glassware, while its vodka and fruit juice recipe with a 3.4% ABV is suited for casual sipping.
Brand Manager Jacob Barrett spoke on the Hooch draught saying, "We’ve pulled out all the stops to make 2025 one of our biggest years yet, and this latest launch embodies just how far we’ve come in recent years. And the fun doesn’t stop here as we have plenty more exciting announcements in the pipeline for Hooch particularly as it’s our 30th anniversary this year!”
