The ready-to-drink (RTD) alcoholic refreshment comes in two flavors including Lime and Berries, which both come in at just 69-calories per can. The drinks are characterized by their sparkling profile that's packed with flavor, but has no sugar in the mix to keep them relevant for today's consumer. The libations come in 330ml cans and are expected to be a hit with legal drinking age Gen Z consumers this year.

Consumers can have the party vibes and fruitiness that come with a VK, with fewer calories than our iconic, No.1 drink for students.”
