"We founded Spirited Brands because we enjoy the ritual of mindfully crafting the perfect cocktail. As busy professionals, we no longer have the luxury of time to craft our favorite drinks," said Melanie Nelson, Co-Founder and President of Spirited Brands. "Our refreshing canned cocktails take the edge off a busy day without the guilt of excessive calories or the dreadful next-day hang-xiety. It's a 'siptual' you can feel good about."

The company's portfolio features two distinct premium brands:

Soula: Premium agave wine cocktails inspired by an authentic Mexican family recipe. These refreshing ready-to-drink margaritas deliver exceptionally smooth flavor profiles with all-natural ingredients. Available in four distinctive flavors: Mango Citrus, Pineapple Chili, Paloma, and Lime varieties.

Sokē: The world's first premium sake soda cocktail, pioneering an entirely new beverage category. This innovative ready-to-drink experience pairs authentic Asian flavors with premium Junmai sake brewed from a 350-year-old recipe.

Both brands feature all-natural ingredients, no artificial sweeteners or colors, only 140 calories per 12 fl oz can, and 5% ABV, designed for a clean, refreshing drinking experience. Variety 8-packs are available for $19.99.
