Phil Sanders, out-of-home commercial director at Britvic, said: “The impactful new look includes our price-marked-pack cans, which are essential for convenience retailers as they allow stores to offer value to their customers.

“We have also seen more people doing their main shop at their local convenience store, so the take-home four-pack offer will allow shoppers to purchase Rockstar for drinking later too.”

The launch comes at a time when stimulants account for 78% of the total soft drinks value growth in the past three years.

The Rockstar core range includes Original, Punched Tropical Guava, Xdurance Blueberry Pomegranate Acai and Juiced Tropical Orange & Passionfruit. Its full range contains 13 flavours in total, with varieties like Baja Juiced El Mango, Punched Sour Bubble Burst and Juiced Passion Frutas.

“Choice is really important. Full-sugar products still represent the majority of this category.”
