Gradient Vodka Soda

Have you ever brought your own beverages to an event but didn’t feel like drinking the same level of alcohol all evening? That’s the problem that Gradient Vodka Soda by Gradient Beverages Corp. aims to solve with its “gradually-reducing” vodka soda packs. The packages include 355-mL cans of vodka sodas in either raspberry lemon, cucumber mint or lime flavours, where each can has varying alcohol contents. A 12-pack, for example, includes cans of all three flavours and each flavour contains different alcohol strengths: three per cent, four per cent, six per cent and seven per cent. The founding trio — siblings John Eresman and Trisha Woodlock, and Trisha’s husband Josh Woodlock — wanted to improve the drinking experience in a way that allows you to enjoy alcoholic beverages, responsibly, without worrying about sustaining a certain level of alcohol intake the entire time you’re socializing. The ready-to-drink beverages are made with western Canadian-sourced vodka, natural flavours and fresh Rocky Mountain water. You can find Gradient Vodka Sodas in four-, six- and 12-packs at retailers across Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan.
