Pernod Ricard's Malibu Melon Margarita

Category - Spirits, flavoured rum, pre-mix cocktail, 15% abv

Available - From May

Location - US, off-trade

Price - US$19.99 per 1.75-litre pouch

Distribution - Pernod Ricard USA and its distributors

The Malibu Melon Margarita comes in a quick-chilling, soft plastic pouch and joins Malibu's range of premix cocktails that were launched in the US in June 2010. Pernod will offer POS materials including display racks, cooler pusher trays, window clings, case cards and shelf talkers to support the new cocktail.

The company hopes to take advantage of growing demand for RTD products leading into the summer.

Last month, Pernod launched Malibu Sunshine, a blend of coconut-flavoured Malibu and lemon-lime citrus fruit, in the US.
