The flavour is being backed with a summer marketing push aimed at the brand’s young adult target consumer, with PoS and promotional support materials in development.

Hornsby’s brand manager Amy Burns said: “Since launching the brand to the on trade last year and to the off-trade in February, Hornsby’s has been buoyed by a growing consumer interest in new cider serves and flavours from around the world.”

Hornsby’s Crisp Apple, Crisp Pear with Strawberry & Lime, and Crisp Apple with Blueberry, are now available in 330ml 4-packs.
