Masons of Yorkshire has partnered with mixer brand Franklin & Sons to launch a new range of ready-to-drink (RTD) cans combining premium spirits with crafted mixers.

The 250ml range includes two variants: Original Gin & Light Tonic, and Vodka, Lime & Lemonade.

The collaboration brings together Masons’ award-winning gin and vodka with Franklin & Sons' mixers, as both brands aim to meet rising demand for high-quality, convenient alcoholic beverages.

Masons distills its spirits using real botanicals and natural ingredients. The company said the RTD format had been in development for more than two years and required a partner with aligned values on quality and provenance.

The new range is available via the Good Time In platform and Masons’ website, with further rollout onboard TransPennine Express trains later this month.
