TOKYO -- Beverage maker Suntory Holdings will serve up a new alcopop for Taiwanese drinkers as it tries to build on its success in Japan of ready-to-drink beverages.

The push into Taiwan, which begins Wednesday, reflects the latest attempt by a Japanese drinks company to expand the scope of canned cocktails to attract consumers who typically shun traditional alcoholic drinks.
