As well as a 12-can variety pack, the extensions will be available in single 71cl cans for $3.49 each and single-flavour six-packs at $9.99.
“Our goal with Sauza Agave Cocktails is to create a quality product with the format, flavour profile and convenience that consumers are looking for,” said Beam Suntory’s senior director of RTD strategic ventures, Stephanie Kang. “We have the opportunity to bring the Sauza brand into new occasions, while also reaching a new set of consumers, with whom we can build new brand loyalty and reputation.”
The launch is the latest to come from a long-term strategic partnership between Beam Suntory and Boston Beer. Beam Suntory will handle national marketing and advertising, PR and Social Media for Sauza Agave Cocktails, while Boston will be responsible for production, distribution, sales, and trade and local marketing.
Boston has also teamed up with PepsiCo to launch Hard Mtn Dew across three US states.
