Brown‑Forman-owned brand Jack Daniel's is extending its line of Country Cocktails with hard tea. Jack Daniel's Country Cocktails Hard Tea is available in four flavours: original, peach, raspberry and blackberry. Keith Cunningham, VP of partnerships at Pabst, said: “We are excited about our launch of Jack Daniel’s Country Cocktails Hard Tea entering the fast-growing hard tea category. Through our partnership with Brown-Forman and the iconic Jack Daniel’s brand, we’ve developed a new twist on the beverage that pays homage to its traditional southern roots." "All four of our great flavours each shine in their own way. It'll be hard to choose a favourite, but every flavour is guaranteed to deliver a smooth, bright and refreshing experience for consumers.” The new product will be available at retail and convenience stores in thirteen US states.
