“Rum-based RTDs are one of the biggest untapped opportunities within alcohol right now,” said Elaine Maher, associate director for alcohol ready-to-drink at CCEP GB.
“With flavour remaining the single biggest factor influencing how shoppers choose alcohol RTDs, this smooth, balanced and easy-to-drink serve is perfectly placed to recruit flavour-curious shoppers.
“To fully unlock the opportunity, we’d recommend positioning the variant in high-footfall areas and alongside complementary alcohol categories to drive impulse,” Maher added.
