SHS said the pair use existing WKD flavours mixed with fruit flavours to create “fuss-free popular cocktails”. According to the company, 30% of WKD’s sales already come from consumers making their own cocktails.
“SHS Drinks believes that category-leading WKD is perfectly poised to amplify this opportunity,” it added.
