Emerging spirit maker Holla Spirits has announced that it has expanded its line of ready-to-drink cocktail pouches to include three new pre-mixed flavors: Lime, Papaya, and Watermelon.
Like Holla Spirit's other pouched cocktails, the new flavors are made from a mix of coconut water and organic vodka and come packaged in a 750ml pouch format. According to the company, the new flavor varieties will be available at Total Wine & More locations throughout the United States,
“Our first Ready-to-Drink line embodies this commitment with a convenient package, fun flavors and progressive ingredients. We’re reviving vodka with a fresh approach as we prepare for the inevitable direct-to-consumer future our generation demands," said Holla Spirits President Patrick Shorb.
