Liquid Death and Feastables are releasing a ‘Peanut Butter Cup Sparkling Water’ that has already appeared on retailer websites ahead of its previously planned Halloween 2026 launch, suggesting an earlier rollout than originally expected. The Liquid Death Feastables peanut butter cup collaboration comes in both 19.2oz tallboy cans and six-packs of 12oz cans, with the ingredient list referencing natural flavoring but no confirmed peanuts so far.
Feastables’ peanut butter cups use ethically sourced cocoa from well-paid farmers and feature a smooth rounded edge instead of the traditional ridged Reese’s shape.
As snack and beverage brands continue experimenting with unconventional flavors, Liquid Death and Feastables show how a candy-inspired sparkling water collaboration can generate cultural buzz and consumer curiosity well before the official launch.
