Talking Rain Beverage brand Sparkling Ice has announced the launch of its latest flavour, Grape Raspberry.

Grape Raspberry, which is the 16th flavour to join the Sparkling Ice base brand portfolio, was developed to meet consumer demand.

Claimed to be balanced with just the right amount of fizz, Sparkling Ice Grape Raspberry is available in Kroger stores starting this month, and at retailers nationwide starting in January 2017.

"We're thrilled to introduce our innovative product to consumers in Mexico."

Further, the brand will be added to all 1,976 7-Eleven retail locations in Mexico.

7-Eleven will also begin to roll out Sparkling Ice flavours with new Spanish-language labelling, including for Black Raspberry, Orange Mango, Kiwi Strawberry and Strawberry Watermelon.

Talking Rain Beverage president and chief executive officer Kevin Klock said: "We're thrilled to introduce our innovative product to consumers in Mexico, while continuing to increase brand awareness and shelf space internationally for our bold variety of Sparkling Ice beverages.

"Our expansion into all 7-Eleven retail locations in Mexico marks yet another milestone in the continued international growth of Sparkling Ice."

Following the latest announcements, Sparkling Ice is now for sale in nine countries including the US, Canada, Australia, UK, Ireland, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
