That\u2019s to say, there wasn\u2019t much that I <em>wanted<\/em> to pick from, much less drink. Nowadays, the canned alcoholic beverage industry looks a lot different.

When Fletcher and her sister-in-law and co-founder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/malloryvaughan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/malloryvaughan\/\">Mallory Patton<\/a>, initially embarked on their spritz-making journey, they quickly realized most ingredients were laden with artificial dyes and other additives\u2014and pivoted to crafting entirely different. \u201cWe wanted to recreate the spritz but do our own little spin on it,\u201d Fletcher says, which is how the duo landed on a lower-ABV (compared to the typical Aperol spritz), orange wine-based drink, without added sugar, dyes, or artificial ingredients. (BTW, Saint Spritz is naturally colored with ingredients like beets and turmeric.)<\/p>\n<p>Aside from its delicious and refreshing flavor, Saint Spritz also offers the undeniable convenience factor. Rather than having to open an entire bottle of Prosecco to make one serving of Aperol spritz, this product is ideal for the mindful drinker who wants to enjoy a casual drink <em>without<\/em> popping proverbial bottles.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Fletcher and Patton are also proud to be taking a stance in a historically male-dominated beverage industry. \u201cWomen like to enjoy a cocktail for themselves, too\u2014why did a couple of old dudes in a boardroom need to be the ones deciding what we like as taste, you know?\u201d Patton says. Frankly, we couldn\u2019t agree more.<\/p>\n<h3>2.

The new release features a trio of gourmet canned sparkling cocktails made with fresh fruits, spices, herbs, and spirits inspired by Lively\u2019s passion for cooking. This includes concoctions like a sparkling tequila drink with lime and shiso, another sparkling tequila beverage infused with warm oak, a squeeze of orange, and a dash of butter (their ~special~ secret ingredient), and a sparkling bourbon cocktail paired with apple, ginger, and a dash of sour cherry. The best part? All three are formulated without artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners. Simply put: We love.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

The company that makes arguably one of the tastiest sparkling waters has now stepped into the world of cocktails with their bar-inspired drinks made with real spirits (tequila blanco or distilled vodka), real juice, and filtered sparkling water (our fave). It comes in three options: tequila lime (ranch water), tequila grapefruit (paloma), and vodka lemon (Chilton). Good news: No artificial ingredients in these canned drinks; they get their sweetness from natural fruit juices.<\/p>\n<h3>4.

And for what it\u2019s worth, it gives my ultra-sensitive stomach zero tummy aches. Onda also features one of the broadest flavor selections in this category.
