Sonoma, the brand of Golden State Cider, California’s No. 1 cider, introduces new canned Sun & Shine Cocktails in three craft options: Valencia Orange Mimosa, Pineapple Mimosa and Hibiscus Spritz. The ready-to-drink, brunch-inspired trio will be available soon in the U.S. in 10% ABV, gluten-free and vegan-friendly with no added sugar.
Sun & Shine Cocktails marks Sonoma Craft’s first foray into the ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail space, signaling a significant shift for the portfolio of leading craft spirits brands. “At Sonoma Craft, we are proud to lead the craft cider industry with Golden State Cider and are excited to expand our offering with Sun & Shine Cocktails,” said Breanne Heuss, Sonoma Craft’s chief marketing officer.
RTD (ready-to-drink) consumption has grown 104% over the past two years, reaching approximately $1.1 billion in annual sales. “The rapid rise of canned cocktails reflects a clear consumer trend, and we are perfectly positioned to meet this demand with our unique approach,” Heuss added. “The use of fresh fruit and real ingredients in Sun & Shine is at the heart of what makes these premium RTD cocktails stand out.”
