Students at Red River Polytechnic have partnered with a local beverage company to develop low‑calorie mocktails and energy drinks. The collaboration was announced on 27 October 2026 at the polytechnic campus in Winnipeg.

The joint effort aims to create beverages that appeal to consumers looking for lower‑calorie, non‑alcoholic options. It reflects a broader movement in which college programs work with industry partners to meet rising demand for healthier drink choices.
