Fresh off the launch of High Noon's Vodka Iced Tea range, the brand announced that a ship will be arriving in Boston to share 342 cases of High Noon Vodka Iced Tea—the same number of chests of tea tossed into the harbor during the Boston Tea Party. Loosely inspired by the protest, High Noon is sparking conversation about the popularity of malt-based hard tea.
In preparation for the arrival of its branded ship in Boston, High Noon opened a sweepstakes offering a trip to Boston for one winner and a guest. No matter how people appreciate the ship in all its glory, the ship is a reminder to savor the Original, Peach, Lemon and Raspberry flavors made with real spirits and no added sugars.
