Catch the perfect companion to Cheddar Bay Biscuits® alongside a new beverage line-up featuring a wide range of PepsiCo products at Red Lobster restaurants starting this fall
Red Lobster and PepsiCo are teaming up to create exciting new ways to enjoy great seafood along with the great taste and variety of PepsiCo products. The duo will leverage their iconic food and beverage brands to create a variety of craveable new menu items, starting with the DEW Garita, the first official MTN DEW cocktail.
The DEW Garita pairs perfectly with Red Lobster’s iconic Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Made using a top-secret recipe, the refreshingly fun cocktail will begin rolling out to select Red Lobster restaurants in September and will be available nationwide by the end of 2020. The Red Lobster and PepsiCo innovation teams are also working together to leverage iconic PepsiCo brands across the Frito-Lay and Quaker range of products to co-create tasty menu items.
“Red Lobster is thrilled to work with PepsiCo, not only because it has a great portfolio of brands, but specifically because of the food and beverage innovation possibilities,” said Nelson Griffin, Senior Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer at Red Lobster. “The DEW Garita is the first delicious taste of the types of inspired menu items to come.”
Red Lobster guests also will be able to enjoy a broad range of beverages from PepsiCo including PEPSI, MTN DEW and STUBBORN craft soda, as well as bubly sparkling water, LIFEWTR, TROPICANA and non-carbonated options like lemonade and agua fresca.
“Red Lobster and PepsiCo both understand how much food and beverages enhance memorable moments, from casual gatherings with friends to milestone celebrations,” said Hugh Roth, Chief Customer Officer, PepsiCo Global Foodservice. “With both of our brands on deck to wow guests, we can’t wait to dream up more phenomenal flavor pairings together to bring some very special offerings and experiences to the table.”
Red Lobster and PepsiCo also share a common passion for sustainability, aiming to create a more environmentally-friendly experience for guests. Both companies are partners with The Ocean Conservancy and The Trash Free Seas Alliance. The relationship will leverage the goals of both companies to incorporate more sustainable packaging and distribution techniques in the future.
