On National Spicy Day, Kickstand Cocktails—the only craft vodka soda with a touch of heat—announced a refreshed flavor portfolio with zero carbs, no added sugar and 110 calories in four all-natural flavors in fresh, standout packaging.
As ever, Kickstand Cocktails' beverages deliver the bold, delicious fusion of fruit and artisanal peppers that consumers crave. Featuring a lighter, smoother experience, the revamped craft vodka sodas with a spicy kick appeal to those in search of mild and medium encounters with heat. "Nearly every data point today—from snacks to sauces—shows that Americans are craving spice more and more, but the beverage category falls short in meeting that demand until we arrived," said Darren Rovell, Founder and Chairman of Kickstand Cocktails.
While Roasted Jalapeño Cucumber and Smashed Raspberry Habanero ease drinkers into fiery flavors, Charred Pineapple Poblano and Torched Peach Chipotle turn up the heat.
