Following the success of Tui Bourbon and Cola and Tui Vodka Lime and Soda, the iconic Kiwi brand has released a range of hard soda RTDs. The new range features local fruit extracts and caters to drinkers who are interested in the increasingly popular easy drinking lower-sugar RTD style. Inspired by the global drinks trend of ‘hard’ or ‘spiked’ sparkling water beverages, Tui Hard Sodas have a refreshingly light taste profile with a dry, sharp soda finish. Made using a blend of vodka, sparkling water, local fruit extracts from around the country, and flavours, the range packs a delicious punch especially thanks to Waikato Raspberry, Otago Peach and Gisborne Orange extracts. Tui Hard Sodas are available in three variants: Waikato Raspberry, Lime and Soda • A vibrant burst of raspberry upfront, paired with a zesty lime which brings crispness and balances the fresh berry hit, leaving a final delicate finish. Otago Peach, Apple and Soda • Sweet peach paired with a grounding crisp apple base, bringing a satisfyingly light yet rich taste profile. Gisborne Orange, Mango and Soda • A robust classic combination of a sweet tart orange paired with juicy ripe mango to deliver a crisp finish. All in 10 x 330ml can pack, 5% ABV
