South Africa’s ready-to-drink scene just got a refreshing upgrade. Gordon’s, the world’s bestselling international gin, has teamed up with homegrown favourite BOS Ice Tea to introduce Gordon’s & BOS G&Tea, a first-of-its-kind alcoholic ice tea set to redefine how Mzansi enjoys gin this summer.
Moving beyond the classic G&T, this new collab blends the crisp botanical notes of Gordon’s with the naturally uplifting rooibos infusion BOS is known for. The result? A lighter, cooler, and more playful take on the gin experience, designed for sunny brunches, rooftop sunsets, weekend festivals, and those spontaneous “just because” hangouts.
Why G&Tea Is the Next Big Summer Sip
The launch of G&Tea answers a clear shift in drinking culture: younger consumers want flavour, not excess; moments, not hangovers. Gen Z and young Millennials are drinking smarter while still wanting to stay connected to nightlife, daylife, and lifestyle-led social moments.
With lower ABV options and non-carbonated refreshment, G&Tea fits into that new rhythm seamlessly. It’s a drink built for moderation without losing the vibe, offering a refreshing alternative to sugary coolers and heavy alcoholic drinks.
Available in two fresh flavour combos: Lemon & Mint and Peach & Rosemary, the new range brings a modern edge to one of South Africa’s favourite summer pairings: gin + ice tea.
Inside the Collaboration: Two Powerhouse Brands, One Shared Vision
For both brands, G&Tea represents innovation, culture, and connection. “This partnership opens new ways to moderate and invites consumers into a world that is social, fun and full of unapologetic flavour,” says Atlegang Moloko, Head of Marketing at Diageo for Convenience Innovation across Africa.
BOS Tea CEO William Battersby calls it their “biggest category innovation leap,” merging BOS’s refreshing rooibos profile with Gordon’s timeless gin appeal; all wrapped into a chilled, ready-to-enjoy format.
Where to Find the New G&Tea in South Africa
Launched nationally, Gordon’s & BOS G&Tea is now available at major retailers, convenience outlets, lifestyle venues, bars, and markets across the country.
Whether you’re hitting a rooftop party, grabbing sundowners after padel or simply relaxing with friends, G&Tea brings the sunshine-in-a-can experience to any vibe.
Scene Feed Thought:
Gordon’s & BOS G&Tea isn’t just a new drink; it’s a new wave of social sipping. Light, modern, stylish and refreshingly local, it feels like the drink of South Africa’s summer before summer even lands. Cheers to the era of G&Tea.
