By James Leonard Cruz - May 05, 2023
One of the most iconic duos in the drinks business, Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola have partnered up to bring something special to the Philippines.

We live in a time where the iconic mix of a Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola — better known as the ‘Jack-and-Coke’ — now comes together perfectly mixed in a can!

Brown-Forman (Jack Daniel’s) and Coca-Cola have officially come together to bring the world’s most popular bar-call drink to the Philippines.

Born ready

“We are excited that Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola ready-to-drink cocktail is expanding to new markets, including the Philippines, allowing more fans of the classic cocktail to enjoy the taste that set the standard for bar calls around the world,” said Sally Goh, General Manager, Emerging Asia, Brown-Forman. “It’s incredibly special to share the product of this joint effort with Filipinos.”

The packaging boldly integrates iconic qualities of both brands – the red Coca-Cola logo written in its classic Spencerian script coupled with the bold, black Jack Daniel’s Old No.7 design – emphasizing that the Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola aRTD is born ready to be the best because of its quality ingredients.

The launch event was a true celebration of the iconic Jack-and-Coke pairing, with fun merchandise and activities reflecting the two brands.

“While Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola have long been mixed at home and in bars around the world, today we’re officially introducing to the Philippines a premium drink that unites two iconic brands in a ready-to-drink cocktail blend with so many perks, including its can,” said Cesar Gangoso, Frontline Marketing Director, Coca-Cola ASEAN, and South Pacific East Region.

“Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola aRTD is truly the beginning of something big.”
