Rewind Juiced Tropical Lemonade

$4.79 18173X

Right from the pour, Rewind smells like a tropical punch. Passion fruit and pineapple juices find such a great home in this vodkabased beverage with energetic mouthfeel and playful sparkle. Medium acid and a light sweetness.

Walter Craft Caeser Classic

$4.99 18154X

If you aren’t familiar with Walter Craft Caesar, it’s available as a cocktail mix at your grocer, but also as a flavourful alternative to other canned vodka cocktails. Walter’s adds horseradish to their recipe adding a sweet savoury element that is very satisfying.

Dillon’s Blackberry Lemon & A Dash of Elderflower

$4.69 S0118X

Don’t let the crystal-clear colour belie the intense blackberry juiciness and light touch of elderflower that provides a floral balance to the pleasant sweetness of this canned cocktail. With gubtle gin flavours at play in the background, I recommend this for anyone preferring a gin beverage, but don’t stop there this will impress even those that try to avoid gin.

Colliding Tides Frosted Grape Twist

$19.49 18019H

Purple flowers and grapes jump out of your glass with this fantastic ferment. A pleasing sweetness balances out this can while the acidity lifts the flavours so you can go back for more. Available in a six-

SNAP Berry Best Vodka Soda

$5.19 81863X

With the first pour, the colour makes the initial impression of reddish pink hinting at blue. Aromas of fresh mashed wild strawberries and sun-warmed blueberries. On the palate, all of these intense flavours are levelled up by bracing acidity and a rich sparkling mouthfeel.
