Lipton expands into alcoholic beverages with hard iced tea line

Lipton has expanded into the alcoholic beverage sector with the launch of its 5 percent ABV non-carbonated drink Lipton Hard Iced Tea.

Made with brewed Lipton tea, natural flavors, and a triple-filtered malt base, Lipton Hard Iced Tea is available in four flavors Half & Half, a blend of lemonade and iced tea, Lemon, Peach, and Strawberry.

Lisa Texido, brand director for Lipton Hard Iced Tea, noted that they created the recipe to make sure that the smooth, balanced flavor people love about Lipton iced tea came through.

The drinks are sold as 12-can variety packs or as singular cans and are available to purchase now in select US retailers.
