RC Cola Reinvent Traditional Ice Cream Float with a Festive Twist

RC® (Royal Crown) cola unveils tasty treat in time for Christmas

With Christmas fast approaching, RC® Cola has teamed up with mixology expert Alastair Tatton to craft a celebratory cocktail to toast the festive season.

Inspired by RC® Cola’s American roots, the ‘Really Christmassy Cocktail’ is a festive take on the iconic ice cream float which has tempted tastebuds across the pond since 1874.

Sundeep Gill, assistant brand manager for Cott Beverages Ltd. who launched RC® Cola in the UK, said, “Just like the ice cream float, RC® Cola has been at the heart of America for over a century. With an alcoholic and non-alcoholic version, this spiced-up version of an old-fashioned treat is perfect for anyone wanting to indulge themselves this Christmas. The kids could even leave one out for Santa!”

Royal Crown cola is now on sale in the UK

I have heard of Royal Crown cola from American friends who rate it very highly and who were puzzled as to why they couldn't get it in the UK.

Thankfully, Royal Crown cola (RC® cola) has just been launched in the UK, offering kids and adults alike a great cola alternative for summer gatherings and barbecue parties this summer!

Royal Crown cola was born out of the efforts of a young pharmacist in Columbus, Georgia; Claude A. Hatcher began creating his own soft drinks and the results of his experiments would became the iconic American soft drink RC cola.

Created back in 1905, RC® cola is one of America’s original colas and is already available across the globe in over 45 countries and is now available in Asda stores nationwide - just visit www.rccola.co.uk for your local stockist.

A 2 litre bottle of RC cola retails at £1.28, while the 6 x 330ml multi-packs retails at £1.87.
