Squeez'd Beverages splashes into Canada with new RTD


TORONTO, April 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Squeez’d Beverages, a division of Sleeman Breweries Limited, debuts SPLASH Spiked Sparkling Water, a new ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage crafted with sparkling water, vodka and a hint of natural fruit flavours, now available in most markets across the country. With 110 calories per 355 mL serving and 5 per cent ABV, SPLASH is unsweetened with no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners. It’s also gluten free.

“We created SPLASH Spiked Sparkling Water to satisfy the increasing demand in the market for an alcoholic beverage that has no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners,” said Scott Pederson, Director of Marketing. “It’s a refreshing option for people with active lifestyles, who are looking for a clean-tasting and convenient alternative to traditional sugary RTD products.”

SPLASH Spiked Sparkling Water comes in two natural and refreshing flavours:  Mixed Berry and Tropical Grapefruit. Mixed Berry delivers a pleasantly sweet berry aroma highlighted by the flavours of blackberries with a hint of raspberry. Tropical Grapefruit has a lively citrus and tropical fruit aroma, with a juicy grapefruit flavour lead that is subtly sweet and supported with the topical flavours of passionfruit, mango and pineapple. “The flavours we’ve selected to offer have strong consumer appeal and the slim 355ml can retains the effervescence, chills fast and stays cool,” Pederson continues.

“We are excited to be bringing SPLASH Spiked Sparkling Water to Canadians this summer in response to the growing popularity of these beverages internationally,” Pederson continues.  Without compromising on flavour, SPLASH is unsweetened, has zero aftertaste and can be enjoyed chilled or served over ice.  

SPLASH Spiked Sparkling Water is available in packs of four 355 mL slim cans for a suggested retail price of $9.95. For shop locators and purchasing details, visit: http://www.splashspiked.com/. Find SPLASH on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
