MANILA, Philippines - Caffeinated drinks just got a lot more exciting with the recent collaboration between the globally-renowned premium energy drink Red Bull and Bo's Coffee, a popular global Filipino coffee chain. Starting July 1, Red Bull Energy Drink and Red Bull Sugar Free will be listed as part of Bo’s Coffee’s Ready to Drink beverage menu. Additionally, together, they have created a duo of Red Bull-infused drinks, elevating the drinking experience for consumers everywhere.
The collaboration has paved the way for two exciting additions to Bo’s Coffee’s menu offerings. Staying true to the tropical roots of the country, as well as the energetic flavors of both Red Bull and Bo’s Coffee, the public will be introduced to the Sunset Orange Fizz and the Golden Passion Bliss.
Sunset Orange Fizz combines Red Bull with the zesty taste of orange juice and the sweetness of strawberry syrup. This trio of flavors creates an invigorating and dynamic beverage that’ll energize consumers with every sip.
Golden Passion Bliss, on the other hand, is the perfect drink for those looking for bold, tangy, and tropical flavors. Mixing Red Bull with the vibrant taste profile of passion fruit juice, customers trying out this drink will be greeted with a delightful balance of tangy and sweet, with the perfect hint of refreshing acidity.
“This remarkable partnership between Bo’s Coffee and Red Bull has paved the way for two unique drinks to enter the market for a limited time.” said Chief Operating Offer, Rachel Fallarme. “Prepare to embark on a tantalizing journey as you savor the first sip of these limited-edition creations. From the invigorating energy of Red Bull to the exceptional craftsmanship of Bo's Coffee, each drink tells a story of collaboration, excellence, and a shared commitment to providing an unforgettable experience.”
Both drinks will be readily available for purchase in all Bo’s Coffee stores and franchise locations across the Metro area starting on July 1, but they will eventually be available in Bo’s Coffee menu in all locations starting on July 16. Since they're limited-edition beverages, these drinks will only be available in Bo's menu until August 31, 2023.
