RTDs cover a multitude of sips, including: “hard” or “spiked” teas, coffees, kombuchas and seltzers; […]. And although the sector was birthed in the ’30s by drinks like Campari Soda, and boomed in the ’90s with Bacardi Breezer and Smirnoff Ice, RTDs are now at a point of seemingly unsustainable saturation.
