Canadian sparkling tree water company Sapsucker has released its latest product line, Sapsucker Hard – a ready-to-drink (RTD) vodka soda.
Inspired by the classic vodka soda, this RTD sparkling vodka is made with tree water and comes in one new flavour – The Lime Vodka One.
The beverage features 46 naturally occurring minerals, vitamins and antioxidants and is fully organic and naturally sweetened. Each can contains 110 calories and 4% ABV.
“We’re thrilled to launch Sapsucker Hard in Ontario and to highlight the benefits of sparkling tree water,” said Tim Lute, CEO of Sapsucker. “The better-for-you RTD alcoholic beverage category has experienced tremendous growth in the last few years.”
Nancy Chapman, founder of Sapsucker, added: “While offerings in the space continue to expand, consumers have expressed a desire to explore beverages which have unique flavour profiles – not another typical vodka soda. Sapsucker listened, and we are excited to bring to market a delicious, sustainably-focused product that’s completely new to consumers.”
