Award-winning company Holla Spirits launched its first canned cocktails, and the two new ready-to-drink products are full of juicy flavors and nostalgic qualities. Based on two of the most popular Holla Vodka expressions, the company crafted Orange Crush and Watermelon Crush. "As consumers continue to demand quality, instant gratification and on-the-go convenience, the ease of canned cocktails is propelling the RTD category in the spirits industry," said Holla Spirits Founder Patrick Shorb.
This release from the Pennsylvania-based spirits company follows an update to the Pennsylvania Liquor Code, which permits Pennsylvanian adults to purchase ready-to-drink cocktails at permitted retailers outside of the state store system. Statewide, Orange Crush and Watermelon Crush can be found at bars, restaurants, and distributors.
