The Red Saint Botanical Spirits drink is a new offering that is poised to shake up the canned cocktail market with a flavorful and thoughtful option to try out. The drink is characterized by its spirit-based profile that has a 5% ABV with 110-calories and two-grams of sugar per serving to make it a great alternative to existing hard seltzer products on the market. The drink is infused with rare teas, botanicals and fruit purees to provide a rich, complex flavor profile.
Founder and Formulator Gianni Ottone spoke on the new Red Saint Botanical Spirits drink saying, "I think hard seltzer really abandoned what social drinking is all about: pleasure and connection. Our hope with Red Saint is to bring substance into the category, reminding people you don’t have to compromise quality and flavor for a clean, light drinking experience."
