Here are the latest developments I can share based on recent public announcements:
Chelsea Football Club named Nicholson as Official Cocktail Supplier in August 2025. The partnership includes pre-mixed cocktails and a tap-based system at Stamford Bridge, with plans for a low-alcohol option and expanded availability for Chelsea Women’s matches and hospitality areas [Chelsea FC official announcement referencing Nicholson as Official Cocktail Supplier].[1]
The arrangement aims to elevate the matchday experience by offering Nicholson’s cocktails across both Stamford Bridge and Kingsmeadow venues, starting with upcoming Premier League and Women’s Super League fixtures at the 2025–26 season start [Chelsea FC official announcement referencing matchday rollout].[1]
For context, the historical “Chelsea” drink existed in the late 1970s as a low-alcohol soft drink produced by Anheuser-Busch, later reformulated due to regulatory concerns, and is not directly related to the Chelsea Football Club partnership described above [Chelsea (drink) overview].[2]
If you’d like, I can pull up the exact dates of the first matches where Nicholson cocktails will be available or summarize Nicholson’s product lineup and the on-tap system in more detail. I can also look for any newer updates beyond August 2025 if you want the very latest.

theprideoflondon.comChelsea was an apple/citrus/ginger soda produced by Anheuser-Busch between September 1978 and November 1979, initially test marketed in six U.S. cities. It was taken off shelves a month after its initial release due to its slight alcohol content and resemblance to beer.

chelseanews.comThis has been bothering me for years and no one I talk to seems to know anything about it. Hope someone out there can help. I am from New Orleans and when I was about 12 (crica 1978) I used to buy a soft drink in a green bottle called Chelsea. It tasted sort of like ginger ale, but here’s the interesting part - it supposedly contained a very low percentage of alcohol, but not enough to make it unavailable to minors, especially in a place like New Orleans where liquor laws are permissive and...
