all their amazing products from your local Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) and if you are not from Nova Scotia, well you can order your favorites online at https://www.coldstreamclear. com/.

What makes Coldstream stand apart from their competitors is their commitment to innova- tion and being a relevant force in the distilling industry. They were the first company in Nova Scotia to launch ready-to-drink vodka soda bev- erages with their popular lime vodka soda, which was introduced to the industry in August of 2017 in bottles and then in cans in the spring of 2018. Coldstream’s offerings have expanded since then to include cranberry vodka soda, lemon iced tea, lemonade, lemon gin soda, peach iced and their Twister (a delicious combo of mango, pineapple, and cherry) which are all available in ready-to- drink cans. Coldstream’s premium vodka is made from 100 % Canadian grains and pure artesian spring water sourced from the Giffen’s home in rural Nova Scotia.

Coldstream Clear’s latest offering in the better for you ready to drink segment is their ultra-re- freshing and flavourful Strawberry Kiwi Vodka Soda. It is made with Coldstream’s premium vodka which is made from 100% Canadian grains. Their new soda is the perfect blend of natural strawberry juice and balanced kiwi flavour with zero artificial colours or sweeteners making it naturally gluten free with the added plus that it has less than 1 gram of both sugar and carbs with only 123 calories per can. This is definitely a bonus for consumers who want to partake in beverages that allow them to celebrate without the guilt. We know that product and quality control are especially important and that is why all of Cold- stream Clear’s canning is done in house to ensure you get the perfect beverage every time. We expect their impressive 15,000 square feet Truro Canning facility will be working overtime to keep up with the demand for the company’s new deli- cious Strawberry Kiwi Vodka Soda, which we are confident that it will be a strong contender for our Ultimate Craft Cooler this year.

Like many businesses, Coldstream has faced many challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic and have had to find new and innovative ways to stay operating. Thankfully, they have managed to weather these tough times and show that they are true champions of versatility. As other businesses closed, Coldstream continued to operate and even put out new products. The dis- tillery remained open with many precautionary measures in place. They focused on sustaining business by growing their home delivery option, which offers deliveries throughout Nova Scotia 3 days a week and somedays has up to 5 delivery drivers on the road to keep up with demand as Canadians find themselves spending more time at home with family and friends in their socially distanced bubbles.
