The Schweppes Mix ready-to-drink (RTD) canned cocktails have made their debut in the UK market as a series of satisfying sips for consumers to pick up as we head into the warm weather entertaining months.
The drinks blend the brand's signature sodas with alcohol to achieve a cocktail-inspired flavor experience that will rival freshly mixed recipes. The drinks come in the Gin Twist option that features a blend of Schweppes' herbal lemonade and gin alongside the Paloma Bliss that marries Schweppes pink grapefruit soda with tequila and rosemary. The drinks feature an ABV of 5.5% to 6%, depending on the variety.
Associate Director for ARTD at CCEP GB Elaine Maher commented on the Schweppes Mix range saying, "Schweppes Mix is rooted in craft and credibility – a cocktail range made with the same expertise that’s earned Schweppes its place behind the bar for over 200 years. This is a mixologist’s choice, reimagined for modern drinkers – offering bold flavour combinations, premium spirits and ultimate convenience. Whether it’s getting ready to go out or hosting friends at home, we’re helping consumers serve up the perfect start to any night with confidence.”
