From Vermont Cider:
Juice Based Alcoholic Spritzer with All-Natural Ingredients
January 3rd, 2020 (MIDDLEBURY, VT .) — Vermont Cider Company is excited to
announce that they are releasing a juice based hard spritzer that uses all-natural
ingredients this spring called Viva SpritzTM. There will be three (3) varieties available:
Peach Mango, Raspberry Lime and Black Cherry, 98, 97 and 97 calories per 12oz sleek
can respectively. Each style is 4.2% ABV, 2g of sugar, light, crisp and full of fruit flavor.
The liquids are created with fruit juice fermentation not sugar or grain like most of the market leaders which is why they chose spritz not seltzer to describe the product. Vermont Cider Company believes the juice fermentation provides a more natural taste profile and strong competitive advantage.
“As the alternative to beer category shifts and changes, we at Vermont Cider Company
need to keep innovating to stay relevant,” said Terry Hopper, Vice President of Sales
“working with juice is something we are very comfortable from the cider side so
developing a juice based hard fruit spritzer was a natural transition for us. We feel the
juice base creates a more sessionable and better tasting alternative.”
Bridget Blacklock, Vice President of Marketing adds “We decided on the name Viva Spritz because of the zest for life the consumers drinking these beverages have and the name Viva evokes those same emotions. We are super proud of how the packaging turned out and how it reflects the feel of the brand!”
Available in nationally beginning in Spring 2020, the 12oz sleek cans will be available in Mixed Variety Sleek Can 6pack and Peach Mango Sleek Can 6pack. Both 6packs will retail for $9.99-$10.99. Vermont Cider Company prides itself on the quality of their products and Viva Spritz is no exception, it drinks like a seltzer but made like a wine to provide a healthier alternative that is sessionable and tasty! #vivalife
