Sour Cherry Meets Black Pepper

Sour Cherry Meets Black Pepper

UK | This spring, Schweppes has introduced its bold new flavour,  Schweppes Cherry Pepper Soda.

Its vivid red hue and vibrant colour can make the exciting blend of sour cherry and spicy black pepper an eye-catching and refreshing choice, perfectly signalling the arrival of brighter days and elevated occasions.

The lively carbonation enhances the juicy sweetness, which is balanced out by a refreshing acidity. Schweppes Cherry Pepper Soda can be enjoyed on its own or as a delicious mixer in cocktails. Its unique profile adds an adventurous twist to classic serves, complementing spirits such as whiskey, rum or tequila, and pairing beautifully with fresh notes like lime and mint.

Hanna Lauri, Senior Brand Manager at Schweppes, said that Schweppes has always been at the forefront of innovation, and with Schweppes Cherry Pepper Soda, the brand has truly disrupted the adult mixer category.

"This new flavour taps into emerging taste trends for 2026, with black pepper adding an unexpected combination," she said.

"Whether paired with spirits or enjoyed neat, it’s a drink which has been meticulously crafted to stand out and to bring excitement and sophistication to every sip.”

Schweppes Cherry Pepper Soda is truly versatile, complementing a variety of flavours. While it pairs beautifully with fresh notes such as lime, mint and almond, it’s also a great match for both sweet and savoury foods.

However it is enjoyed, the vibrant colour and bright yet balanced flavours create a unique sensorial experience, making it the centrepiece in every glass and a refreshing, fun choice this spring.

Available in key retailers from March 2026, Schweppes Cherry Pepper Soda is the perfect companion for elevated moments at home.
