WKD PINK
In a bold step that delivers a unique WKD take on the biggest trend in the alcohol category, SHS Drinks launched a 4% ABV WKD Pink Gin flavour RTD.
WKD Pink combines all the complexity of gin with all the simple approachability
of WKD. The new spirit-inspired product
has everything consumers expect from WKD: fun, personality and accessibility. This is pink gin approached the WKD way; it’s an exciting innovation for Gineration Z consumers that gives RTD drinkers a fun, WKD-style twist on the pink gin craze.
