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.

"It's about giving fans what they love, in a smarter, cooler way that fits modern life."
Nostalgic drinks make a comeback
And Reef is not the only nostalgic drink making a come back.
Bacardi Breezers are back just in time for summer, and will be sold at £2 a bottle.
Customers can enjoy two flavours, including Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crispy Watermelon.

Elsewhere, the legendary "Cream of Manchester", Boddingtons Cask Ale is hitting taps again.
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.

Double Diamond beer also made its return to pubs last year, and it was recently revealed that it has returned to the high street, with cans of the pale ale on sale in Tesco.

Dame Joan Collins teams up with M&S for an unexpected launch just weeks after cyber attack
Following its cyber attack in April, Marks & Spencer has finally reinstated full online shopping, and just in time for its latest partnership with Dame Joan Collins After hitting pause on all online shopping back in April after an unprecedented cyber attack, Marks & Spencer has been gradually reinstating all of its online shopping to customers. Now, as of July, customers are able to order from the whole website, and it couldn't have come at a better time, as the high street fave has just teamed up with another icon. Partnering with Dame Joan Collins – one of M&S Food's ambassadors – you can now shop a beautiful flower bouquet designed by the Dame herself. The Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase is the second arrangement designed by the actress following the success of her first last year, and features some of her most-loved flowers in a beautiful, timeless bouquet. The Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase (£75) contains a huge variety of white flowers, with 40 different stems including avalanche roses, oriental lilies, freesias, laurel sprigs, and gold eucalyptus stems. Dame Joan Collins said: 'From London to Los Angeles, I always mark special occasions with my favourite flowers – the timeless elegance of white lilies and roses make them the perfect gift.' Thanks to the white, gold and green colour combination, the arrangement looks elegant, full and is definitely a showstopper, making it perfect for a table arrangement, centrepiece, or somewhere prominent like a hall table or coffee table. The flowers arrive in bud, allowing them to bloom in the following days so you get more from your arrangement. The Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase also arrives with the perfect sized vase for the bouquet, so you don't need to hunt around for the right shape or size to display them at their best. Instead they arrive ready to go, so you can enjoy them for longer. You can pick up a similar bouquet at Prestige Flowers, with the Rome arrangement also featuring avalanche roses, calla lilies, lisianthus, thistle and eucalyptus, combining elegant all-white colours with contrasting greenery. The bouquet is priced at £49.99 for a standard bunch, with an additional £5 charge for a medium arrangement or a £10 extra cost for a showstopping large bunch. If you want something seasonal that's guaranteed to bring a little joy to your home, Bloom & Wild's The British Sunflowers Bouquet is currently on sale, down from £42 to £33.60. It contains 16 stems of sunflowers, agapanthus and solidago, and arrives hand tied and delivered directly to your doorstep. The M&S Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase also arrives directly to your doorstep inside a protective ribbon-tied box, with gold and purple tissue paper. All you need to do is trim the steps and arrange them in the included vase with some water and flower food to create a bouquet fit for a Dame.

'I went to every celebrity-owned pub in London and one drink was absolutely disgusting'
Owning your own pub seems to be the latest trend among celebrities, with Ed Sheeran, Idris Elba, Sir Ian McKellen, and David Beckham and Guy Ritchie all opening boozers in and around the capital in recent years. But not all celebrity pubs are created equal, and YouTuber Ed Chapman set out on an epic trek to find out which was the best, and worst, of the big-name boozers. And along the way, he sampled one drink that was as unpleasant as it was expensive. Sipping a frozen Aperol Spritz in one upmarket King's Cross bar, he said: 'This is probably one of the worst drinks I've ever had, truly. It's half a glass. God knows how much it's cost… and it's absolutely disgusting.' Ed started his jaunt at The Grapes, in Limehouse – a short walk from Canary Wharf. The historic pub owes its notoriety to the fact that it's owned by Sir Ian McKellen – star of the Lord of the Rings and X-Men franchises, as well as several West End stage productions. The Grapes serves a decent Guinness, Ed discovered, but it's far from roomy: 'There's a nice outside area, but there's only two tables. It is a very small, very tight pub.' He also had one or two questions about the friendliness of the service, saying that the bartender appeared to 'slam the drinks down on the bar.' Next, Ed and his cameraman hopped on a couple of Lime bikes and pedalled up to Shoreditch, where Eighties star Rick Astley co-owns the Mikkeller bar. It's focused around quirky craft beers, including the rather odd-sounding Strawberry Krush – a fruity £6 concoction that 'just tasted like lager,' according to Ed.
