Devils Backbone Distilling Company Debuts Tide Line Vodka Iced Tea

— March 20, 2025 — Marketing
Devils Backbone Distilling Company has introduced Tide Line Vodka Iced Tea as a new addition to its portfolio of ready-to-drink beverages. Inspired by Virginia’s natural landscapes, where freshwater rivers meet the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, Tide Line blends vodka with refreshing iced tea and real fruit juice. The recipe offers a smooth, non-carbonated sipping experience.

Devils Backbone Distilling Company makes its Tide Line Vodka Iced Tea available in four flavors, including Iced Tea, Iced Tea & Lemonade, Raspberry Tea, and Peach Tea. The product is low in calories and low in alcohol at 4.5% ABV and 100 calories per can.

Consumers are likely to be drawn to Tide Line Vodka Iced Tea for its refreshing, sessionable profile and emphasis on natural ingredients. The use of real fruit juice and natural black tea, combined with the absence of carbonation, offers a lighter alternative to traditional ready-to-drink cocktails, for example.
