(Reuters) - Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) Co will launch Simply-branded alcoholic drinks in the United States this summer in partnership with beer giant Molson Coors (NYSE:TAP) Beverage Co

Soft-drink makers, including Monster Beverage Corp (NASDAQ:MNST) and PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) Inc, have been branching out to the alcohol space as traditional boundaries between the categories rapidly blur.

Coca-Cola launched an alcoholic version of its Topo Chico sparkling water along with Molson Coors about a year ago before tying up with Constellation Brands Inc (NYSE:STZ) to introduce Fresca-branded ready-to-drink cocktails.
