Arizona Iced Tea — The 99-Cent Big Can That Became a Cultural Icon

Arizona is one of the most recognisable drinks brands in the world, and it started in a Brooklyn warehouse in 1992. Two former beverage distributors, Don Vultaggio and John Ferolito, launched an oversized 23oz "Big Can" of iced tea in bold, Southwestern-inspired pastel artwork, priced at just 99 cents — nearly double the volume of their rivals for the same money. It was an overnight hit, and the brand has famously held that 99-cent price on its cans for more than thirty years, turning a simple value promise into a piece of American pop culture. The Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey, in its cherry-blossom can, is the design most people picture, and it remains the brand's all-time bestseller.
 

That mix of bold packaging, genuine flavour range and value positioning has made Arizona a standout in the UK's growing market for American drinks — a brand customers recognise on sight and come back to for their favourite flavour.
 

Sweet and Glory stocks the full Arizona range wholesale for UK retailers.
 

The Arizona Range

The core of the range is the iced teas, led by the flagship Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey, alongside Lemon, Raspberry, Peach, Cranberry, Sweet Tea, Blueberry White Tea and lighter Diet options. The fruit drinks bring the bolder, sweeter flavours — Mucho Mango, Watermelon, Fruit Punch, Kiwi Strawberry, Grapeade and Dragonfruit Mango — while the lemonades include the classic Lemonade and Strawberry Lemonade. There's a specialty tier too, with soda-style options like Cherry Lime Rickey and Chocolate Egg Cream Soda, and the Arizona Fallout energy drinks in green-tea-based flavours. Formats span the iconic 650ml Big Cans, European-produced 500ml cans, and resealable 500ml PET bottles that suit fridges, grab-and-go and meal-deal displays. All are sold by the case, and because the range is so large and availability rotates by shipment, it's worth checking the current range for what's in stock.
 

Why Stock Arizona?

Arizona fills a gap most UK drinks brands don't — premium-feeling iced teas and fruit drinks in large-format cans with packaging that sells itself. The oversized cans stand out in any chiller, and Arizona customers tend to become repeat buyers with a flavour they come back for. It works across settings: sweet shops and American candy stores stock it alongside imported sodas, while convenience stores and cafés use the PET bottles for fridges and grab-and-go. It also has genuine year-round appeal — refreshing in summer, an everyday flavoured drink in winter. Stock it alongside other American drinks like C&C Soda, Calypso and Hawaiian Punch to build a full imported drinks section.
