Watermelon Lime Ranch Water and Strawberry Lemonade

South County Distillers, the sister company of Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island, today announced the launch of two exciting new canned cocktails just in time for the summer season, a Watermelon Lime Ranch Water and Strawberry Lemonade. These refreshing libations are perfect for any occasion, whether lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard barbecue, or enjoying a sunset picnic at the beach.

  • Watermelon Lime Ranch Water: Enjoy the flavors of watermelon, lime, and agave spirits in this thirst-quenching, 5.0% ABV cocktail.
  • Strawberry Lemonade: South County took their hard lemonade and added the natural flavors of fresh, ripe strawberries for a just sweet enough cocktail on the go. With an ABV of 9.0%, they are sure to be the life of the party.

“At South County Distillers we’re jumping right into summer with two new canned cocktails: a Watermelon Lime Ranch Water and Strawberry Lemonade,” said Alan Brinton, co-founder, and owner of South County Distillers in a press release. “As the days warm and summer activities begin, these cocktails are the perfect companion.”

South County Distillers offers an array of canned cocktails and spirits that will elevate your summer season:

  • Additional Canned Craft Cocktails:
    • Vodka Lemonade: Made with vodka, lemon juice and sugar, it’s a ready-to-chill-and-serve beverage with an ABV of 9%.
    • Ranch Water: This refreshing cocktail blends the distillery’s Agave Blanco spirit with lime juice 103 calories 5% ABV.
    • Paloma: Made with South County’s Agave Blanco spirit and grapefruit, it’s sure to quench your thirst (7% ABV).
  • Craft Spirits:
    • Classic Vodka: Produced from grain to glass in our distillery, our select blend of rye and wheat yields an exceptionally smooth vodka that is dry and crisp with subtle spice notes.
    • Rhode Island Rum: A nod to our coastal roots, our rum begins with the finest grade of molasses. A hot fermentation with Caribbean rum yeast creates fruity flavors that are captured in our slow distillation. The result is a smooth and buttery rum suitable for sipping or mixing into a tropical cocktail.
    • Aged Rye: Each batch features a unique blend of specialty malts, grains and heirloom rye and is aged in new, charred American oak barrels.
    • Perfect Gin: Beginning with grains that culminate with our secret blend of botanicals, our gin captures the delicate nuance of each yielding floral, spice and citrus notes with a classic juniper backbone, resulting in a well-rounded, versatile spirit fit for any cocktail.
    • Agave Spirit: Everyone’s favorite spirit from south of the border, this spirit is distilled from 100% blue agave, making for one smooth sipper that works equally as well in a salt-rimmed cocktail.
    • Crafted Bourbon: Our bourbon features a unique blend of specialty malts, grains and heirloom corn. It is then aged in charred American oak barrels for various lengths of time. Whether neat or in a cocktail, our bourbon brings depth and character to any gathering.

South County Distillers is committed to producing exceptional spirits that capture the essence of Rhode Island’s coastal lifestyle. Our passion for craftsmanship, quality ingredients, and innovation drives us to create memorable libations for discerning drinkers. Look for Watermelon Lime Ranch Water, Strawberry Lemonade and our other canned cocktails and spirits at your favorite liquor stores, bars, and restaurants throughout Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut. Join us in celebrating the flavors of summer!
