Amber Beverage Group has expanded its premium gin portfolio with the introduction of two new ready-to-drink options for its flagship Cross Keys Gin brand.  Cross Keys Gin & Tonic and Cross Keys Gin & Blackcurrant & Tonic feature an ABV of 5% and are available in 330ml cans. The RTDs will have an initial launch in the Baltics, followed by a move into the UK and beyond in late 2021.  Cross Keys Gin & Tonic contains the brand's gin, tonic water, lemon, lime and rosemary flavours. Meanwhile, the brand's Blackcurrant variant features tonic water, lemon and Cross Keys Blackcurrant Gin flavours. “By launching Cross Keys Gin & Tonic, we have set ourselves the ambition to become the No.1 Gin & Tonic RTD brand in the Baltics. We have developed an amazing product with a very tasty and refreshing liquid that will fit our consumers’ needs, not only during the summer months but throughout the whole year,” said Māris Kalniņš, global brand director for Cross Keys Gin.
