PROVIDENCE, R.I.– KEEL Vodka, the world’s first premium light spirit, has announced the launch of KEEL Sparkling, a vodka-based hard seltzer crafted with the perfect blend of premium KEEL potato vodka, soda water and all-natural lemon-lime and grapefruit flavors. KEEL Vodka, a pioneer in the low alcohol by volume (ABV) category, is bottled at 23.8% abv, allowing drinkers to stay balanced as they socialize, so they can enjoy the now and the later. KEEL Sparkling provides a better-for-you, gluten-free canned vodka soda option when compared to malt-based seltzers on the market, with only 80 calories, 0 carbs, and 0 sugar per 12 oz (355ml) serving. KEEL Sparkling delivers the light, refreshing smoothness of KEEL Vodka in a convenient, go-anywhere can – perfect for year round hiking adventures, tailgating, and backyard get-togethers.
Proudly hand-crafted in the U.S.A., KEEL was the first spirits brand to feature a nutrition label on its bottle, so consumers know exactly what’s in their drink. “When we started KEEL Vodka, we made a commitment to do things honestly, with integrity, and putting a nutrition label on the bottle was one of the first things we did,” says Bill Dessel, CEO and one of the co-founders of KEEL Vodka. “As a result of our mission and advances in packaging within the beverage industry, KEEL Sparkling was able to come to fruition. With demand for canned cocktails at an all-time high, but so few better-for-you options available, we’re especially thrilled to be able to bring KEEL to consumers in the most convenient way possible.” According to a recent survey conducted by Nielsen, 56% of consumers say convenience is the main reason they purchase ready-to-drink beverages. KEEL developed KEEL Sparkling to meet the growing consumer demand for satisfying ready-to-drink cocktails that won’t derail healthy, active lifestyles. Priced around $9.99 a pack (4 cans), KEEL Sparkling is currently sold in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Colorado. Customers in Florida, Texas, and Georgia will be able to find KEEL Sparkling in February with additional states launching this year. Cheers!
