Come Taste Your New Favourite Drink
Imagine sipping a natural vodka soda from &SODA while surrounded by the Canadian Rockies, sampling small-batch brews, and connecting with other craft enthusiasts. Our flavours are designed to stand out:
Raspberry – Lemon – A perfect blend of the natural sweetness of the ripest raspberries with a hint of citrus. Ideal for those cool autumn evenings by the fire.
Lime – The classic cocktail essence of freshly squeezed lime with your favourite vodka. Refreshing and zesty, it’s great for a midday pick-me-up during your fall hikes.
Strawberry-Blood Orange – Forget everything you thought you knew about strawberries! This is the real deal, paired with just a hint of blood orange in an unexpectedly delicious concoction.
Grapefruit – Think naturally sweet and tart with a hint of sour. Need we say more? No. We just know you’ll love it. Perfect for those crisp fall mornings on the porch.
