Drifter Craft Cocktails has launched a line of sparkling RTD cocktails under its namesake brand in the US.

The RTD line comprises three flavours – Spicy Margarita, Passion Fruit Caipirinha and Moscow Mule. According to the company, the range uses base spirits from “under-represented” distillers and has been formulated in collaboration with three US bartenders.
Drifter Craft Cocktails are available now at selected US retailers and online at an SRP of US$19.99 per four-pack.
“Drifter Craft Cocktails uses high-quality ingredients and is transparent on where we source every element,” said co-founder Pete Nevenglosky. “Wherever you roam, we hope Drifter Craft Cocktails are along for the ride and inspire the discovery of new flavours.”
Earlier this week, Pernod Ricard revealed plans to launch two co-branded cocktails on Anheuser-Busch InBev and Keurig Dr Pepper’s Drinkworks home cocktail-making platform.
