"We're constantly working to expand our product offerings to meet consumer demand," said Chris Hall, CEO of Talking Rain Beverage Co.

Our distribution network has been particularly excited for the introduction of this immediate consumption solution."

Sparkling Ice +Caffeine contains 70mg of caffeine, zero sugar, zero calories, antioxidants and vitamins, and comes in a convenient, easy open can format. Perfectly balanced with just the right amount of fizz, Sparkling Ice +Caffeine retails for $1.89 per can and will be rolling out into retailers nationwide starting in January 2019.

Sparkling Ice will exhibit its new product line at NACS at booth #1155 from October 8-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Chris Hall, Talking Rain's newly appointed Chief Executive Officer and Ken Sylvia, the Vice President of Sales will be present.
