Company adds new products to ready-to-drink portfolio

ST. LOUIS (April 20, 2020) — Luxco launches Vita Frute® Vodka Sodas, a new addition to Luxco’s ready-to-drink portfolio, featuring unique and refreshing flavors.

Vita Frute® Vodka Soda cans are crafted with American-made vodka, club soda and all natural flavors. The result – a deliciously, refreshing cocktail with 100 calories, gluten-free and 5% ABV. With four flavor offerings – Lime Basil, Watermelon, Grapefruit and Pineapple Coconut – these are perfect to drink on their own or use as an ingredient in another cocktail.

The hard seltzer category continues to experience strong growth. Over the past 12 months, hard seltzer sales have grown more than 202%*. The introduction of Vita Frute Vodka Sodas provides Luxco with the opportunity to innovate in an emerging category and expand distribution at retail.

“Consumers have shown enthusiasm for refreshing, low calorie, convenient cocktails,” says McKenna Burst, brand manager at Luxco. “The hard seltzer category continues to experience strong growth – sales have skyrocketed and are expected to triple in growth by 2023.”
