Carnival Partner - Schweppes
The first soft drink can be traced back as far as the late 1700s.
The first soft drink can be traced back as far as the late 1700s when a young watchmaker, Jean Jacob Schweppe was the first to perfect a process for manufacturing the world's first carbonated mineral water. It was a keen interest in science that led him to experiment with the art of infusing water with carbon dioxide.
Working from a Swiss lab in 1783, he patented his special process for carbonating water. This started the soft drink industry.
Schweppes today produces over fifty different flavours and is available throughout the world to provide delicious refreshment for the more discerning drinker. Today Schweppes can be enjoyed around the world and is our leading carbonated brand in Australia and a leader mixer brand in the US.
Schweppes proudly sponsor the Group 1 AJC Ltd Sydney Cup.
