Ready-to-drink beverages firm Long Island Iced Tea has partnered with Oak Beverages for the distribution of its ALO Juice brand.

This new distributorship follows the recent agreement by Long Island Iced Tea to acquire ALO Juice.

Oak Beverages is a distributor, which services New York City, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, Sullivan, Orange, and Ulster US counties.

Long Island Ice Tea's chief executive officer Philip Thomas said: “We are thrilled to announce the first new distributorship for the ALO Juice brand since we announced our proposed acquisition earlier this month.

With 220 employees, Oak Beverages operates through three warehouses and 42 beverage trucks. General manager Manuel P. Bustos said: “Beverages such as ALO Juice carry a functional claim that is a strong fit as Oak Beverages expands into the non-alcoholic arena.

"We are very excited to be ALO Juice's distribution arm in New York.”

ALO Juice is a non-alcoholic ready-to-drink (NARTD) functional beverage produced from aloe vera plant juice, which is harvested in Thailand and exported to South Korea for processing. The juice is available in 0.5l and 1.5l sizes with original, mango, pomegranate, pineapple, and raspberry flavours.

Oak Beverages has also recently included wines and liquors to its existing beverage portfolio.

Long Island Iced Tea's primarily retails non-alcoholic, bottled iced tea. Recently, the firm launched a new 18oz bottle with a new label design.
