Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Shake and Twist Rumba, we believe great drinks shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. That’s why we’re committed to reducing single-use plastics, especially at festivals and events where waste can quickly add up.
​
To help tackle this issue, we’ve introduced our Bottle Return & Reward initiative. Here’s how it works:
​

Festival & Event Returns: Bring back your empty Shake and Twist Rumba bottle, and you’ll receive 10% off your next purchase of the same size bottle—regardless of the drink variety.
​
-
