Carabao energy drink has expanded its offering with new Carabao Sport drink, available in two fruity flavours: Orange and Mixed Berry. Designed to aid hydration, the carbohydrate-electrolyte drink with added B vitamins launches this spring in a 500ml bottle. Carabao Sport is a flavoured still isotonic sports drink with sugars and sweeteners – Sucralose and Acesulfame K. The new fruit-flavoured formulas contain 4.4g of sugar per 100ml and 113 calories per bottle and are free of aspartame. John Luck, chief marketing officer at Carabao, said: “We’re delighted to expand our offering of great tasting fruit-flavoured drinks with the launch of Carabao Sport – a new isotonic sport drink, designed to aid hydration.” He added: “Carabao Sport includes the carbohydrates and electrolytes required to support prolonged exercise that you would expect to find in a sports drink, but it is our unique combination of aspartame free, added B vitamins, 100% natural colours and flavours and fantastic flavour that makes our drink special.” Consumers can find the new Carabao Sport drinks at UK retailers and petrol stations.
