Refreshing Alternative Energy Drinks

The Carabao Mandarin Orange Drink will be Launch on April 2

— March 24, 2018 — Lifestyle
The alternative energy market is expanding by leaps and bounds as consumers seek new ways to stay fueled throughout the day, which is seeing brands respond with new products like the Carabao Mandarin Orange energy drink. The beverage is set to launch in the UK on April 2 and will be exempt from the sugar tax that's set to make big waves in the market as brands scramble to augment products. The drink has been formulated with orange flavor because it has been identified as the most popular option when it comes to soda, which is something the brand wanted to capitalize on.

The Carabao Mandarin Orange energy drink was explained by Managing Director of Intercarabao UK, Mark Young, who said, "The launch of Carabao Mandarin Orange is another exciting milestone for us, as we continue our mission to provide a variety of great-tasting energy drinks for consumers to enjoy. We know that category growth is being driven primarily by flavors and low-sugar products like Carabao Green Apple, so we expect the new variant to be just as successful and well-loved as our other products."
