Innocent has lined up the launch of three additional juice blends for its domestic UK market. The variants comprise orange & mango, apple & berry and apple, peach & pear flavours.
The company initially launched its blended juice portfolio in January last year.
Earlier this year, the company, which is majority-owned by The Coca-Cola Co, committed GBP14m (US$22.5m) to brand investment in the UK over the next 12 months.
This January innocent will be adding to its successful range of NFC juice blends with three new delicious recipes.
The first innocent juice blends were launched in January 2012 and proved so popular that we decided to add three more tasty and refreshing recipes with our new orange & mango, apple & berry and apple, peach & pear juices.
- apple, peach & pear is an exceptionally tasty blend of 6 sweet apples, 1 juicy peach and half a pear.
- apple & berry is a deliciously refreshing juice of crisp apples, sweet strawberries and tangy blackcurrants,
- orange & mango is a fantastic juice blend made from 9 zesty oranges and three-quarters of a velvety crushed mango
Douglas Lamont, marketing director at innocent drinks, says “The launch of our juice blends range last year has been extremely well received by both existing innocent drinkers and brand new consumers, with 50% of our blends sales being incremental to the NFC category. Our NFC juice range has grown rapidly to a RSV of GBP95 million*, and we expect these new blends to add to that success. We hope the new delicious additions to our blends range will excite consumers and offer them more options to enjoy a tasty and refreshing NFC juice.”
Our refreshing juice blends are never concentrated, never sweetened and every 150ml serving gives you 1 of your 5-a-day. They come in a lovely recyclable carafe and 10% of profits go to people who need it more than us through the innocent foundation.
They will be available in shops across the country from January 2013 priced from £2.19 for a 900ml carafe.
