FROM THE WIRES...
Texas-based CANTEEN Spirits, announced today the launch of its first hard seltzer line — a Mexican-inspired, margarita-style hard seltzer now available throughout Texas. The new product is a sharp departure from the company's spirit-based RTD portfolio and will be available across the US later this spring.
I've included a press release with full details below my signature and broken out release highlights, high-res images and interview opportunities for your convenience.
Release Highlights
“After carefully examining the current RTD market, we saw the popularity of hard seltzers declining, with one exception,” said CANTEEN’s co-founder and CEO, Brandon Cason. “Mexican-inspired cocktails like margaritas and agua frescas are still growing, and doing so at a rapid pace. Expanding from spirit-based RTDs into the hard seltzer realm was a natural evolution for CANTEEN.”
Dubbed the Cantina Margarita, the new seltzer is available in three flavors — original, strawberry, and mango, all made in Austin, Texas. Each 12-oz can contains only 110 calories, 1 gram of sugar, and 1 gram net carbs and is brewed at 6% alc/vol, higher than big brand hard seltzers. Three-flavor 12-packs have an average retail price of $17.
It is available in hundreds of retailers throughout the state including 166 H-E-B stores, 34 Buccee’s stores, 180 Randalls stores, 180 Kroger stores, Tom Thumb and Albertsons, as well as a network of independent retailers.
