Stampede week in Calgary is full of energy and excitement, and there’s no better way to stay refreshed than with a natural vodka soda drink. From early morning adventures to late-night celebrations, here are some of the best moments to sip on &SODA during Calgary’s most exciting weeks of the year!
Best Moments to Enjoy &SODA During Stampede Week
1. Backyard BBQs with Friends
If you’re hosting or attending a Calgary Stampede-themed BBQ, what better way to keep it cool than with a natural vodka soda in hand? While you’re flipping burgers or munching on grilled corn, crack open a can of &SODA. With under 140 calories per can, it’s the perfect way to indulge without the guilt.
Plus, the light, crisp taste pairs beautifully with grilled fare like smoky ribs, fresh salads, or tangy slaw. No heavy cocktails here—just simple, refreshing enjoyment.
2. Outdoor Patio Time
Calgary summers are legendary, and with the Stampede in full swing, the city’s patios are buzzing. Whether you’re sipping cocktails after a long day of Stampede activities or watching the Calgary skyline light up at night, a natural vodka drink is the ideal companion for those sunny patio moments.
Find a cozy spot with a great view of the fireworks and crack a refreshing zing of lime or raspberry-lemon flavours from &SODA!

Even if you’re not at the Stampede grounds, Calgary and the surrounding area offer a wealth of adventures that pair perfectly with a can of &SODA.
Head to the mountains for a hike or a picnic in Kananaskis, and sip &SODA in the great outdoors. With flavours like lime and grapefruit, it’s the perfect drink to refresh you after a day of exploring. Or if you’re a fan of boating or paddleboarding at Lake Louise or Ghost Lake, pop a &SODA in your cooler and enjoy the serenity of nature with a crisp, light beverage in hand.
