The meteoric rise of ready-to-drink hard seltzers in recent years has primed consumers for a departure from the norm, igniting a demand for novel, innovative canned beverages that offer a refreshing alternative—and Phreshly is poised to deliver just this with products that deliver "an elevated, and culturally inspired cocktail experience."
Phreshly sets itself apart with ready-to-drink premium canned cocktails with 6% ABV and hand-picked ingredients from minority-owned farms. From Phreshly, drinkers can enjoy refreshingly different options like Bay Lemonade (a modern reinterpretation of a bourbon smash) and G'iddem (a freshly reimagined blueberry daiquiri,) both in stubby cans.
“Seltzers are no longer cool for most adults,” Phreshly co-founder and CEO Paul Owusu said to Food Dive, “We are targeting the modern-day drinker looking for better-for-you and tastier, innovation-led flavors.”
