Nestlé Waters-owned SanPellegrino has launched two new premium mixers in glass bottles. The new flavours include Ginger Beer and Tastefully Light Tonic. The two variants join SanPellegrino's four other sparkling drinks varieties, including Tonica Citrus, Tonica Oakwood, Limonata and Aranciata.

SanPellegrino UK brand manager Michela Tasso said: “We can see that early evening consumption from 17:00 to 20:00 – known in Italy as the aperitivo moment - keeps growing and that a strong cocktail offering provides great benefits to outlets; with cocktails accounting for 7% of total venue food and drink sales in 2021, compared to just 4% in 2019”.
