Schweppes launches 1783

Schweppes has launched a new range of mixers, called 1783, to impress discerning drinkers with sophisticated flavour profiles and a chic bottle design.

The 1783 range has been crafted by leading UK mixologists, with natural flavours to deliver the perfect pairing with the finest spirits.

The range includes a Crisp Tonic Water, with a clean, crisp bitterness, a Golden Ginger Ale with a soft, refreshing flavour and a hint of ginger. Two distinct tonic flavours, Salty Lemon and Quenching Cucumber offer their own unique flavour profiles, perfect for mixing with a range of different spirits.

“Our exciting new Schweppes 1783 range combines the perfect mix of carbonation and balanced taste, with natural flavours. Schweppes has worked with UK mixologists and drinks experts to create this distinguished range of premium mixers, designed for discerning drinkers who enjoy discovering new flavour combinations,” said Schweppes New Zealand Brand Manager Gina Beck.

As the creator of the world’s first carbonated soft drink, Schweppes was founded on innovation by Jacob Schweppe, who invented and launched his carbonated water in 1783. Paying homage to the brand’s founding year, the company continues to inspire and delight with this exciting new range of premium mixers.

Carbonation is the most important aspect of any mixer, triggering the olfactory system (or sense of smell) to maximise flavour. Schweppes is renowned for its superior effervescence and balanced flavour profile, with an obsession for bubbles that are high in number, small and longer lasting, to deliver an enhanced taste that lasts.

Launching in early August, Schweppes 1783 will be available from leading bars and bottle stores around New Zealand, opening up a whole new world of flavours for mixer drinkers to enjoy on their own or with their favourite gin, tequila, vodka, rum, whisky and more.

The Schweppes 1783 features a new bottle design and branding, paying homage to the brands heritage and reflecting the elegance of the beverage inside. Schweppes has also created an innovative menu of recipes so curious drinkers can experiment with new flavour combinations and creations using their favourite beverages.
