Cîroc expands its premium RTD range with new Red Berry flavour

Cîroc, Diageo’s super-premium vodka brand, is expanding its presence in the ready-to-drink (RTD) category with the launch of a brand-new Cîroc Red Berry Sparkling Vodka Drink (5 per cent ABV), following the successful launch of Cîroc Summer Citrus (5 per cent ABV) and Cîroc Tropical Passion (5 per cent ABV) earlier this year.

This latest innovation brings Cîroc’s top performing flavoured vodka in the brand’s 70cl range to consumers in search of ultra-premium flavours in a convenient RTD format, with eye-catching 250ml cans that are now available to purchase across convenience and wholesale channels. Cîroc Red Berry Sparkling Vodka Drink combines the crispness of a vodka premix with the flavour of ripe strawberries and succulent raspberries, making it the perfect on-the-go drink option to elevate celebrations of all sizes.

The launch of Cîroc Red Berry follows the success of Cîroc Summer Citrus and Cîroc Tropical Passion, which have added one per cent growth across the total RTD segment, delivering over £1.2m retail sales value to the category.

The new variant enables retailers to tap into the rising popularity of RTDs, which is the fastest growing segment within the total alcohol category. Stocking premium RTD options also provides an opportunity to capitalise on the growth in premiumisation and consumer demand for affordable luxuries.

“Cîroc is renowned for its high-quality flavour innovations and dedication to developing new formats that excite consumers and adapt to growing trends. With this in mind, it was a natural progression to introduce a RTD version of a popular variant," said Michael Sotnick, Cîroc Brand Experience Manager, Diageo GB.

“With flavoured vodka worth £28.5m in impulse convenience and the RTD category growing by 7.5 per cent in the convenience channel, there is an opportunity for Cîroc to expand its offering and introduce both new and existing consumers to our ultra-premium flavours in accessible, easy-to-drink formats, helping to elevate a wide variety of consumption occasions from picnics in the park to celebrations with friends and family at home.

“We’re therefore delighted to be launching the new Cîroc Red Berry Sparkling Vodka Drink, giving our customers across the wholesale and convenience channels the opportunity to drive interest amongst shoppers with innovative RTD options and premium flavours they know and love.”
