Rewind Juiced Tropical Lemonade $4.79 18173X
Right from the pour, Rewind smells like a tropical punch. Passion fruit and pineapple juices find such a great home in this vodka- based beverage with energetic mouthfeel and playful sparkle. Medium acid and a light sweetness.
Walter Craft Caeser Classic $4.99 18154X
If you aren’t familiar with Walter Craft Caesar, it’s available as a cocktail mix at your grocer, but also as a flavourful alternative to other canned vodka cocktails. Walter’s adds horseradish to their recipe adding a sweet savoury element that is very satisfying. Dillon’s Blackberry Lemon & A Dash of Elderflower $4.69 S0118X Don’t let the crystal-clear colour belie the intense blackberry juiciness and light touch of elderflower that provides a floral balance to the pleasant sweetness of this canned cocktail. With gubtle gin flavours at play in the background, I recommend this for anyone preferring a gin beverage, but don’t stop there — this will impress even those that try to avoid gin.

SNAP Berry Best Vodka Soda $5.19 81863X
With the first pour, the colour makes the initial impression of reddish pink hinting at blue. Aromas of fresh mashed wild strawberries and sun-warmed blueberries. On the palate, all of these intense flavours are levelled up by bracing acidity and a rich sparkling mouthfeel.
