The 5.5%-abv pre-mix – available in Blue Lagoon and Tropical Sunrise flavours – targets the 18-to-24-year-old consumer and aims to capitalise on increasing demand for take-home formats.

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.
