The Gambrinus Company and Margaritaville Alcohol Beverage Trust launched 'LandShark Vodka Seltzer,' a spirits-based ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage, in Texas, Florida, Delaware and Kansas before expanding to other markets. The LandShark Vodka Seltzer line comes in four flavors: Lime, Pineapple, Mango and Fruit Punch, each delivering 90 calories, zero sugar and 1 gram of carbs per 12 oz can.
Produced at the K. Spoetzl Brewery and Distillery in Texas, the beverage line is available in eight-pack variety packs for $17.99 and four-packs for $9.99. Gambrinus manages production, sales and marketing, while the Margaritaville Trust maintains brand strategy.
As spirits-based RTDs continue to grow faster than beer-based options, LandShark shows how lifestyle brands are moving quickly to leverage the category's momentum with low-calorie, flavor-forward beverages.
