Happy adds shareable 48-ounce cold brew to ready-to-drink lineup

Happy expands beyond single-serve ready-to-drink with a multi-serve cold brew format.
April 15, 2026

Ready-to-drink coffee brand Happy is expanding into refrigerated coffee with a 48-oz cold brew. The brand said the multi-serve format is its first shareable bottle and marks its entry into the refrigerated coffee category.

The product is offered in two unsweetened flavors: Cold Brew and Perfect Vanilla Cold Brew. It is made with 100% Arabica beans. According to the company, each 48-ounce bottle provides about four 25-calorie servings.

Why this matters for convenience services operators

  • Brand expansion from single-serve into shareable packaging reflects broader “pantry-to-fridge” growth for the brand. Ready-to-drink cold brew options continue to enjoy consumer acceptance.
  • Larger formats may influence how shoppers compare value versus single-serve ready-to-drink coffee.
  • Operators should be alert to increased consumer demand for refrigerated coffee at micro market and pantry locations, alongside energy drinks and teas.
