Restaurant India News: Third Wave Coffee Launches Espresso Tonic Range With Schweppes India

Third Wave Coffee has partnered with Schweppes India to introduce a new range of espresso tonic beverages, as café operators continue to expand seasonal beverage offerings to drive consumer engagement during the summer period.

The limited-edition lineup includes Espresso Turbo Tonic, Punchy Peach Espresso Tonic, and Citrus Crush Espresso Tonic, combining specialty coffee with tonic-based sparkling mixers. The launch reflects the increasing focus among café and quick-service restaurant brands on experimental beverage formats aimed at younger urban consumers seeking differentiated café experiences.

The collaboration brings together Third Wave Coffee’s specialty coffee portfolio and Schweppes’ tonic water and premium mixer positioning. The beverage range is designed around cold coffee consumption trends and flavor-led seasonal innovation, categories that continue to gain traction across India’s organized café market.
