Hong Kong-based alcoholic beverage brand ONLY Beverages has launched 'ONLY Vodka Soda,' a naturally flavored, canned vodka soda that is entirely free of sugar and carbs. Cutting above the competition, the new better-for-you beverage is, in fact, the first of its kind to be offered in Hong Kong.
With a mission statement oriented towards purity, ONLY Beverages set out to create a health-conscious drink that would appeal to Hong Kong's young, urbanite population. According to the company, 'ONLY Vodka Soda' consists of just three main ingredients: vodka, sparkling water, and "true-to-fruit" flavors.
The new launch includes two citrus-based flavor options, 'Tahitian Lime' and 'Yuzu Ginger,' both of which present complex taste profiles that are said to be unlike anything else on the market.
