MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Caribou Coffee is unveiling its own unique twist on flavor-infused sparkling beverages with a line of ready-to-drink cans and in-store handcrafted beverages.

The result is a refreshing collection of drinks designed to fuel life's adventures, any time of the day. Here is a closer look at the new beverages making their debut this fall.
