Talking Rain Beverage’s Sparkling Ice brand has launched new caffeinated beverage line Sparkling Ice +Caffeine at the National Association of Convenience Stores Show (NACS) in Las Vegas, US.

Available in black raspberry, blue raspberry, triple citrus, strawberry citrus and orange passionfruit flavours, the new range is packaged in 16oz cans.

Talking Rain Beverage’s CEO Chris Hall said: “We’re constantly working to expand our product offerings to meet consumer demand.

“Since we’re seeing a surge of consumer demand for caffeinated products in the industry, we wanted to leverage our expertise for making zero-calorie sparkling waters that consumers love with an added boost of caffeine.

“A departure from our one-size-fits-all approach, we’re excited to reach a new audience of consumers through the launch of our Sparkling Ice +Caffeine 16oz cans, while continuing our ongoing partnerships with convenience stores nationwide.

Sparkling Ice +Caffeine contains 70mg of caffeine antioxidants and vitamins. It is also a zero sugar and zero calorie beverage.

Beginning January next year, Sparkling Ice +Caffeine will be retailed across the US for $1.89 per can.

Hall added: “Our distribution network has been particularly excited for the introduction of this immediate consumption solution.”

Last year, Talking Rain Beverage Company and Tata Global Beverages formed a strategic alliance. The partnership was intended to expand Talking Rain Beverage’s presence in the overseas markets, while Tata Global Beverages aimed to improve the reach of its premium natural mineral water brand Himalayan in the US.
