Levi Roots, the fan-favorite, reggae-inspired food and beverage company, recently expanded its soft drink range with the introduction of a new tropical flavor. The new 'Tropical Punch' variant is set to hit stores in April, prices at £1 per 500 ml bottle. The brand describes the Tropical Punch flavor as "the perfect summer soft drink" with a sweet flavor profile with balanced notes of pineapple and mango.
Sally Forbes, brand manager at Levi Roots, noted: “Sales are up 3% year on year with the brand consistently adding value to the category. We’re confident that with Tropical Punch, we’re bringing something fresh and new to our key target audience of 16- to 35-year olds that will drive growth for independent retailers.”
