Peacock Cider Passion Fruit & Guava has been announced by Kingfisher Drinks as a new refreshment for the UK market that's crafted with delivering a tropical flavor experience for consumers this summer. The cider boasts a 4% ABV with tangy notes of passion fruit through and sweet notes of guava to give it a tropical profile perfect for enjoyment straight from the bottle or poured over ice. The cider is making its way to retailers in the grocery and convenience store channels this month in 500ml bottles priced at £2.70.
Senior Brand Manager at Kingfisher Drinks Andy Sunnucks spoke on the Peacock Cider Passion Fruit & Guava saying, "Peacock is an Asian-inspired cider that prides itself on its exotic outlook, both in terms of flavours and attitude. We’re confident this new flavour will prove popular with younger cider drinkers looking for something different in their packaged cider and will perfectly complement the Crisp Apple and Mango & Lime variants in the Peacock portfolio.”
