At the heart of this summer-long celebration is British actor and global star Lucien Laviscount, who is the Brand Ambassador for Schweppes in GB and Ireland. This partnership coincides with Schweppes' latest global campaign With Time Comes Taste which encourages consumers to slow down from the frenetic pace of modern life and savour the small moments this summer.
"With Time Comes Taste really resonates with me because I think taste becomes more personal as you get older, you stop following what everyone else is doing and lean into the things that genuinely feel like you," said Lucien Laviscount. "With my fashion choices over the years, I don’t look back at old outfits with regret. Every phase, every look… every questionable look, have all played a part in what I wear today."
"Over time, you also start to appreciate the little things more, good company, great drinks and just enjoying the moment. Schweppes has always had that timeless, sophisticated feel, which is why partnering with the brand feels like such a natural fit. The new Schweppes Tropical Soda feels modern and playful, the kind of drink that instantly elevates any occasion, without trying too hard."
Speaking on the summer line-up, Fani Gkoltsiou, Senior Brand Manager at Schweppes, said; "This summer is a special moment for Schweppes with the launch of our latest innovation, Schweppes Tropical Soda, the ideal mixer for spritz season alongside our partnership with Lucien Laviscount who strongly embodies our brand values. With the launch of the With Time Comes Taste campaign we are inviting our consumers to savour every moment through quality, taste and shared experiences and we are thrilled to bring these experiences to life at some of the most prestigious events of the summer."
For those hosting their own summer gatherings at home, the new Schweppes Tropical Soda is available in bars and grocery stores nationwide. With its vibrant purple hue and refreshing finish, it is the ultimate accessory for any summer table. The Tropical Spritz is a delicious cocktail curated specifically for Irish consumers, and you can make it yourself by mixing 35.5ml Vodka with 25ml Fresh Lemon Juice and 20ml Lemongrass Syrup, then top with Schweppes Tropical Soda and garnish with a Slice of Lemon!
