23rd Street Distillery has released a line-up of three new sparkling RTD flavours made from local ingredients, featuring vibrant local artworks on a slim can design.

The range features three flavour choices all topped with soda water: Tropical Gin & Soda, with fruit flavours including mango, pineapple, passionfruit and finger lime mixed; Pomegranate & Raspberry, made with pomegranates from 23rd Street’s orchard and Australian vodka; and Pineapple & Lime with Australian vodka.

23rd Street brand manager Sarah Camerlengo said the new RTDs were crafted with a dual flavour profile.

“There’s something for everyone with our new RTD offering. We spent a lot of time looking at different flavour profiles and wanted to create something truly unique to the category. We decided to craft these beverages with a dual flavour profile to create an elevated drinking experience in a convenient format,” said Camerlengo.

Served in 300mL cans, 23rd Street RTD Cocktails are 5 per cent ABV and are available in a 4-pack ($25.00) and 24-pack carton ($142.00) from national retailers across the country, including Dan Murphy’s, First Choice, Vintage Cellars and Liquorland.
