What exactly is RTD?
RTD stands for Ready To Drink. We make premium spirit coolers — real vodka, gin or brandy mixed with guarana and flavour, carbonated and sealed in a 500ml can. Crack it open cold, no mixing required.
How strong is it?
Every RTD is 4% alcohol by volume (ALC/VOL) in a 500ml can. Always enjoy responsibly and never drink and drive.
What flavours are there?
Five: Vodka & Guarana (the original), Passion Fruit, Mixed Berry, Gin & Guarana and Brandy & Guarana. Each has its own moment — from the beach to the braai to after dark.
What is guarana and why is it in there?
Guarana is a natural plant extract known for its energising kick. It’s what gives RTD its signature surge and sets it apart from an ordinary cooler.
Where can I buy RTD?
