The Popsicle® Vodka Soda has been developed by Dandurand Wine & Spirits in collaboration with Popsicle to offer adult consumers a series of nostalgic refreshments to enjoy this summer. The drinks are each formulated with classic frozen treat flavors in mind and will thus satisfy Millennial demand for refreshments that harken back to the 90s. The drinks come in three flavors including Orange, Cherry and Grape, which each have 100-calories per can with zero sugar.
The Popsicle® Vodka Soda drinks are being launched in 12 serving multipacks in Canada and feature a 4.5% ABV for an easy drinking profile. The products respond to the popularity of nostalgic food and drink experiences as consumers seek to relive their experiences from yesteryear in new ways.
