As the market for premium soft drinks swells, Unilever has released Lipton Ice Tea Virgin Cocktails, a range of limited-edition classic cocktails made with green or black tea.

The range comprises Pina Colada with black tea, pineapple and coconut; Mojito with green tea, lime and mint; and Daiquiri with black tea, strawberry and dragonfruit. The drinks contain no preservatives, artificial colours and less sugar than most regular soft drink varieties.

“We think the new Lipton Ice Tea Virgin Cocktails are a great addition to our already much-loved ice tea range,” said Sarah Ryan, marketing manager for Unilever. “We wanted to provide fans with new flavours that bring about that special, carefree holiday feeling no matter where they are – whether at home, out and about or at a pool party with friends. This new range is a great and refreshing alternative for the summer season,”

Lipton Ice Tea Virgin Cocktails are available in 325ml glass and 1.25l PET across Australia.
