South Australian beverage brand, Bickford’s, has launched two new flavours in its Carbonates range: Cloudy Lemonade and Pineapple Passionfruit.

The versatile soft drinks arrive just in time for summer, designed to bring a refreshing twist to cocktails, mocktails, or to be enjoyed on their own over ice.

The two new flavours coincide with Bickford’s refreshing its Carbonates range, formerly branded as Bickford & Sons Mixers, under the unified Bickford’s trademark. This transition is part of the company’s comprehensive livery update, aiming to reinforce its position as a modern classic while staying true to its roots.

Bickford’s Group head of marketing, sales, and hospitality, Chris Illman, said consumers today are seeking more adventure with their flavour choices, looking for beverages that can adapt to their mood and the occasion – they want something that feels indulgent yet balanced, with flavours that can enhance their drinks or stand on their own.

“Our adult soft drinks meet that demand, offering the perfect blend of refreshment and versatility,’’ said Illman.

“With over 150 years of history, Bickford’s is dedicated to creating products that bring people together. Our new Cloudy Lemonade and Pineapple Passionfruit are not just mixers; they’re a celebration of flavour that perfectly complements the spirit of summer entertaining.”

Available in both 250ml cans and 1-litre bottles, these additions will be sold at Coles stores nationwide.
