Schweppes has been named the UK’s number one best-selling soft and mixers brand across the country’s leading bars in the CLASS Report 2026.
The report ranks brands based on stocking and sales performance across leading UK bars, with the result highlighting continued demand for the Schweppes range in the hospitality sector.
Following the recognition, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) is encouraging retailers to make the most of growing consumer demand for premium drinks experiences at home by stocking a broad range of Schweppes products.
The £83.4m Schweppes brand includes core lines such as Classic Tonic, Slimline Tonic and Lemonade, alongside newerg Tropical Soda and Cherry Pepper Soda.
CCEP said mixers remain an important category throughout the year, with demand increasing around key social occasions and seasonal celebrations.
The company added that Schweppes continues to support category growth through a combination of established products and flavour innovation, giving shoppers more choice for cocktails and mixed drinks at home.
The recognition follows ongoing investment in the hospitality sector, where Schweppes’ Brand Ambassador team works with bars across the UK to support premium serves and build brand advocacy.
Rob Yeomans, Vice-President, Commercial Development at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners GB, said: “Consumers increasingly expect the same quality drinks at home as they enjoy when they’re out, creating a real opportunity for retailers. By stocking a strong range of core mixers alongside flavour innovation, retailers can meet that demand, offer greater choice and drive value across a variety of occasions.
“This recognition reinforces the strength of the Schweppes brand and gives retailers further confidence that they’re stocking a range consumers know, trust and actively seek out.”
