Kaoba x World-Class Spirits: Redefining the Future of Premium Mixed Drinks

Kaoba x World-Class Spirits: Redefining the Future of Premium Mixed Drinks

At Kaoba, we’ve always believed that the future of drinks lies at the intersection of flavour, function, and sustainability. Over the past year, that belief has turned into reality through a series of exciting partnerships with some of the most respected names in the global drinks industry.

We’re proud to be working alongside brands such as CleanCo, Campari Group, Ocho Tequila, Patrón, Casamigos, Don Julio, and Teremana - a collective that represents the very best in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic innovation.

Building Bridges Between Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Worlds

CleanCo: Elevating the No & Low Movement

Our partnership with CleanCo reflects the growing demand for sophisticated, alcohol-free options. Kaoba’s sparkling cacaofruit drink pairs seamlessly with CleanCo’s range, offering a natural, low-calorie, functional mixer that enhances complexity without overpowering.

Campari Group: Heritage Meets Innovation

Working with Campari Group places Kaoba alongside a legacy of iconic brands. This collaboration highlights how Kaoba can integrate into classic and modern serves, bringing a fresh, tropical acidity and natural sweetness to elevate cocktails.

Tequila Partners: A Perfect Match

Our relationships with Ocho Tequila, Patrón, Casamigos, Don Julio, and Teremana have been particularly exciting.

Tequila and cacaofruit are a natural pairing:

  • Both are rooted in agricultural storytelling
  • Both celebrate terroir and origin
  • Both deliver bright, fresh, vibrant flavour profiles

Kaoba enhances tequila with its light carbonation, citrus-like tang, and subtle tropical notes, creating serves that are refreshing, modern, and incredibly drinkable.

Why Kaoba is the Ultimate Mixer for Spirits

Kaoba Sparkling Cacaofruit Drink is uniquely positioned in the drinks market:

  • 100% natural ingredients – just water and cacaofruit
  • Low calorie (90 per can)
  • Naturally hydrating and refreshing
  • Sustainably sourced from upcycled cacao pulp

For bartenders and mixologists, this means:

  • A premium, clean-label mixer
  • A way to create distinctive cocktails and long drinks
  • A product that aligns with modern consumer demand for wellness and sustainability

Whether paired with tequila, aperitifs, or non-alcoholic spirits, Kaoba delivers a balanced, elevated drinking experience.

Driving Growth Through UK On-Trade Partnerships

Beyond brand collaborations, Kaoba has been making serious waves across the UK hospitality scene.

Working with leading wholesalers in:

  • London
  • Manchester
  • Birmingham

…we’ve partnered with bars, restaurants, and venues to host Kaoba takeover nights—immersive events designed to showcase the versatility of cacaofruit in cocktails.

What These Takeovers Achieve:

  • Introduce Kaoba to new audiences at scale
  • Drive trial and repeat purchase
  • Create social media buzz and organic content
  • Position Kaoba as a premium, bartender-approved mixer

The result?
Consistent sell-outs, strong reorder rates, and growing demand from venues looking to differentiate their drinks offering.

The Future of Drinks is Here

Kaoba is more than just a soft drink—it’s a category-defining product sitting at the crossroads of:

  • Functional beverages
  • Premium mixers
  • Sustainable innovation

By collaborating with world-class brands and activating across the UK’s top cities, we’re building a movement that’s reshaping how people think about what’s in their glass.

Kaoba + Spirits = The next generation of drinking.
