The drink is coming back in a new carton format
But this summer the nostalgic booze group is repackaging the product to give partygoers a whole new way to enjoy the drink.
The 3.4% ABV drink will be sold in a resealable carton.
The group said the new carton format was "designed with socialisation in mind".
Matthew Bulcroft, marketing director at Global Brands, added: "The resealable carton gives consumers more flexibility, less waste, and a better drinking experience overall.

"Whether you're partying hard or chilling out, Reef's here for it."
Shoppers will be able to pick up the nostalgic tipple from this month.
A 15-pack of cartons will set you back £27, working out at around 55p per drink.
You can also order boxes of the boozer at www.goodtimein.co.uk.

A 10-pack of the original bottled booze is still available to shop at B&M for £8.50.
Its return comes as Gen Z are looking to revive fashion and trends once popular in the 2000s.
Why Guinness tastes better in Ireland
Reef's lower alcohol percentage is also likely to appeal to the group, who are notorious for drinking less than older generations.
Matthew added: 'Reef's return last year tapped perfectly into the nostalgia trend – and our new carton is the next exciting step.

First brewed in 1778, the famous ale disappeared from handpumps in 2012 but is now set to return to pubs across the North West.
Manchester's oldest brewer JW Lees is to brew the cask ale close to its original home under licence from Budweiser Brewing Group.
Punters who have waited 13 years for a sip of the creamy ale will be able to order a pint of it in selected pubs across the North West from September, before it becomes more widely available.

Three great summer perfumes at all price points – one is the perfect subtle scent for everyday
Read on to find out about a new Aussie brand that will shake up the affordable beauty space in a major way SUMMER SCENTS Three great summer perfumes at all price points – one is the perfect subtle scent for everyday Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A QUICK spritz of the right perfume can totally transform your mood – and summer scents are certainly some of the most addictive. Here are three of my favourites . . . Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up BUDGET M&S Discover Salty Skin Eau de Toilette, £10 for 100ml, 3 The M&S Discover Salty Skin Eau de Toilette is the perfect subtle scent for everyday Credit: Supplied The notes of this perfume read like a list of all my favourite scents; tart bergamot, mandarin and lemon, lightly floral orange blossom and jasmine, comforting musk and amber. It reminds me of the smell when you open the balcony door of your air-conditioned hotel room to be hit with the warm, thick air outside that's holding the smell of sun-tan lotion and salty sea air. It's the perfect subtle scent for everyday that will still feel special every time you spray it, and given the price, you'd be hard pressed to find a better value fragrance. I can't imagine there's a single person who won't love it. MID-RANGE Roger & Gallet Vanille Soleil Fragrant Water, £39 for 100ml, 3 The Roger & Gallet Vanille Soleil Fragrant Water is the perfect 'old money' scent Credit: Supplied Fragrance expert Alice du Parq aptly described this as the scent equivalent of a Mr Whippy ice cream topped with Maldon sea salt flakes. I can't think of a better way to convey the moreish, elevated vanilla perfume that's equally sweet and savoury – like all the best snacks. It's not at all sickly, despite the powdery notes of jasmine and tonka bean. It's the perfect 'old money' scent, that doesn't scream in your face or leave a trail behind you when you leave a room, but when people get close, it smells sophisticated and clean. I get stopped in the street by people asking where my perfume's from - it's a dupe of a designer scent & saves me £135 LUXURY Maison Margiela Never Ending Summer Eau de Toilette, £62 for 30ml, 3 The Maison Margiela Never Ending Summer Eau de Toilette is an aperol spritz in a scent Credit: Supplied This perfume is an Aperol Spritz in a scent. It's fizzy, bright and packed with juicy bitter orange, rich, hearty cedarwood, sharp pepper and spicy cardamom, that make it the perfect late night summer scent cocktail to cut through humid climes. It's one of the few truly unisex holiday inspired scents on the market – with no hint of sun cream-style coconut that can quickly become extremely girly. It's grown up elegance, that's guaranteed to bring in compliments.
