“We’re excited to offer a new Corona beverage to those who love the brand but are looking for options outside of beer. Alcoholic sparkling waters and RTDs have been gaining huge momentum in recent years. That’s why we’ve launched Corona Tropical – offering an alcoholic sparkling water made with real fruit juice.

“It’s been a big year of innovation for the brand following the launch of Corona Cero in March, and we’re excited to expand our super-premium portfolio beyond beer to cater to even more consumer needs. Corona is renowned for its refreshing taste and quality – placing it in the perfect position to grow this category with a super-premium proposition.”

A nationwide marketing campaign is supporting the launch. This includes installing a real fruit billboard in central London, plus digital and out-of-home media to showcase the refreshment credentials of the brand.
