RTD Beverages for Fun and Busy Times

With spring and summer activities, you’ll be picnicking, beaching, and gathering with family and friends.  While everyone enjoys an enticing beverage, it’s a great idea to have ready-to-drink (RTD) selections available. They are convenient, tasty, and refreshing. The good news is that they also have a relatively low alcohol by volume (ABV). Check out some of our favorites and stock up for the good times ahead.

Just Hard Squeezed is a hard juice made with 10% real fruit juice and alcohol from cane sugar. No bubbles, no bloat – just refreshing, juicy enjoyment with a smooth 4.2% ABV. Every sip tastes like biting into a ripe, juicy piece of fruit, with four delicious flavors including Pineapple that is juicy, sweet and bursting with tropical goodness. The raspberry is bold, tart and full of real raspberry flavor. Mango is fresh, full bodied and ridiculously juicy. And the peach is soft, smooth, and bursting with an orchard fresh flavor. Find Just Hard Squeezed in 12 oz. slim can 6-packs and 19.2 oz. single cans (pineapple and raspberry flavors), or all four flavors in a variety 12-pack. 

Vizzy Hard Seltzer is bringing nostalgia to spring with the all-new Cream Pop Variety Pack—featuring creamy vanilla fruit flavors in every sip. The pack includes the return of fan-favorite Orange Cream Pop alongside two brand-new flavors. Their Raspberry Cream Pop has a taste of raspberry flavor with creamy vanilla notes for a refreshing burst of flavor. The Strawberry Cream Pop has a strawberry flavor that meets creamy vanilla notes. This is the perfect balance of refreshing and indulgent.

Absolut + Ocean Spray Vodka White Cran Peach Canned Cocktail is a juicy mashup of the iconic Absolut Vodka with real White-Cranberry juice from Ocean Spray® and other natural flavors. It has an ABV of 4.5%. The Absolut + Ocean Spray Vodka Cran Mango Canned Cocktail is made with Absolut Vodka, real Cranberry Juice from Ocean Spray® and other natural flavors. These newest flavors join the other Absolut and Ocean Spray RTDs. They have an ABV of 4.5%. 

Two Chicks – These cocktails are from a women-owned, founded and run company. Their sparkling canned cocktails are made with real premium spirits such as tequila, vodka, whiskey and gin blended with fruit and botanicals. Selections include Sparkling Paloma, Sparkling Citrus Margarita, Sparkling Apple Gimlet and more. They have a 5% ABV and are ready to drink for any occasion.
