Drink schweps

The Schweppes brand of soft drinks was founded by Schwepp Jacob as early as 83 years of the 18th century. Today it is held by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, which is a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company. The drink Schweps, which is known to have a long and rather interesting history of emergence, is popular among consumers in many countries of the world. It is customary to use it not only in its pure form, but also to use it as part of various cocktails.

Today, the range of Schweppes drinks, which are produced almost all over the world, ranges from pure carbonated water (called Schweppes Soda) to exclusive national brands, which are made only in some countries (for example, Schweppes cranberry drink - Schweppes Cranberry Spice).

Thus, the modern Schweppes drink is produced in more than one hundred and sixty countries, including our country, where, according to 2012 data, 4 main species are on sale.

Schweppes Indian Tonic is a classic of this brand. It was invented during British rule in colonial India. By the way, since 1783, it is this species that has been considered the constant personification of drinks of this brand and is the ingredient in gin-tonic - the world's first cocktail.

A refreshing drink containing natural lemon juice - Schweppes Bitter Lemon drink. It is produced using a special technology that allows you to squeeze the juice of this citrus fruit along with the zest. Nevertheless, the drink Schweps still owes its exquisite bitter taste to the use of quinine.

An unusual combination of cranberries and spices can be felt in the drink Schweppes Cranberry Spice. It is noteworthy that this option is produced exclusively in countries such as Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.

In addition, the Turkish variety of Schweps drink is called Schweppes Mandarine, from the name of which it is easy to guess that it includes tangerine juice.
