Zico will be launched to the Australian market in ‘Original’ flavour, developed with health conscious consumers in mind. Coca-Cola said Zico “contains electrolytes that support hydration and provides a great source of potassium”.

“Zico physically restores, leaving drinkers feeling renewed and allowing them to take positive steps towards the lifestyle they want to live,” Ms Spiteri said. “Zico has already seen great results in international markets and we are excited to launch it locally,” she said.
