Wise Monkey Launches First-Ever Mauritian Rum & Cola RTD Cocktail

Wise Monkey launches the first-ever Mauritian-inspired Rum & Cola ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail. Keeping up with the trends and consumer demands, the craft Rum brand stepped up their game to offer an experience that’s classic with a twist.

The RTD sector had presented a huge opportunity to the spirits industry during the pandemic, with over 3,000 new spirit-based products hitting global shelves. However, with more products came the market leaning towards value-driven offerings.

Demand created a need for the products to stand out in the increasingly crowded space, and Wise Monkey achieved that by introducing the first-ever Mauritian Rum & Coke combo in the mainstream market.

A Rum & Cola that pays homage to its island roots

“Mauritius is an integral part of our Rum’s identity,” said Chel Medrano, Business Developer at Nirvana Works. “Despite the island's rich distillation heritage, Mauritian rum remains largely untapped in the RTD space. With Wise Monkey Rum & Cola, we’re proud to bring that legacy to the mainstream.”

Rum & Cola, or Cuba Libre, remains one of the world’s most iconic cocktails. By packaging it in a can, Wise Monkey brings together familiarity and convenience with a touch of the island’s rich culture.

“Whether it’s within the comfort of your home or on-the-go, Wise Monkey’s Rum & Cola brings you convenience in a can that tastes familiar yet nothing less than brilliant. It’s a cocktail you’d want to have over and again.” stated Kaung Htet, Brand Manager of Wise Monkey Rum.

The Rum & Cola is the first installation in Wise Monkey’s upcoming and promising lineup of premium RTD cocktails. The product is now available across UAE markets and will soon be expanding into key regions across EMEA.
