If we know you—and we think we kind of definitely do—we know
you’ll be responsible for hosting your fair share of al fresco dinner parties, holiday barbecues and
tiki-related affairs this summer.
Naturally, you’ll have a lot on your plate: the food prep, the necessary feng shui, the endless “Can I invite Carl without inviting Doug?” ruminations...
So just do yourself a favor and let 1893™ from the Makers of PEPSI-COLA® take care of the drinks.
If you didn't already know, 1893 is a new top-shelf cola made with real sugar, kola nut extract and sparkling water. It comes in four bold flavors: Original, Ginger, Citrus and Black Currant. At once timeless and uniquely modern, they’re just as good in cocktails as they are on their own.
To prove it, the good people at Pepsi have designed a handful of delicious 1893-specific libations for you to serve as you see fit.
And we imagine you’ll see it fit quite often...
