Surfside Lemonade Variety 8 Pack

Surfside Vodka Lemonade Variety 8-Pack (12oz Cans)

Surfside Lemonade is a massive powerhouse in the ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail market, dominating shelves as one of the fastest-growing spirits brands in the United States. Produced by the Philly-based Stateside Urbancraft Vodka, Surfside completely upends the traditional canned cocktail blueprint by answering a question many beach and backyard drinkers have been asking: What if I want a real cocktail without all the bloating bubbles?

Unlike mainstream seltzers that rely on heavily carbonated malt bases or artificial gas fizz, Surfside is a proudly non-carbonated, "still" beverage. This creates an incredibly smooth, easy-drinking, tea-like mouthfeel that goes down flawlessly on a hot day. Built on a premium foundation of Stateside’s own 7x-distilled corn vodka, real lemon juice, and natural flavors, it delivers a genuine, bar-quality hard lemonade profile. Clocking in at a sessionable 4.5% ABV (9 Proof), each can is meticulously calibrated for active summer drinking, packing a macro-friendly nutrition panel of just 100 calories, 3g of carbs, and 2g of sugar.

The Flavor Lineup Breakdown

The Lemonade Starter Variety Pack groups together four distinct, fruit-forward expressions. Because there is zero carbonation, the fruit oils and tart citrus acids hit the tongue instantly with maximum flavor clarity.

• Original Lemonade (2 Cans): Classic, crisp, and beautifully nostalgic. It leads with a bright, zesty wave of cold-pressed lemon oil and natural citrus tartness, balanced by a clean, restrained sweetness. The premium vodka stays fully in the background, making it taste exactly like a fresh-squeezed, non-fizzy country lemonade.

• Strawberry Lemonade (2 Cans): Ripe, juicy, and highly approachable. This can opens with an aromatic burst of sweet summer strawberries that melds seamlessly into the tangy lemonade base. It strikes an elite sweet-to-tart balance without ever leaving a heavy, syrupy film on the throat.

• Black Cherry Lemonade (2 Cans): Deep, moody, and full-bodied. Rather than tasting like a synthetic medicinal syrup, it delivers the authentic, bold, and slightly sharp tang of Montmorency black cherries. The rich stone-fruit profile grounds the sharp lemon acidity beautifully.

• Raspberry Lemonade (2 Cans): Energetic, vibrant, and exotically bright. It unleashes a playful, candy-like raspberry aroma on the nose that transitions into a crisp, mouthwatering berry-tart finish on the palate, serving as an ultimate refresher.

Backyard Service Rituals

• The Sub-Zero Cooler Soak: Because Surfside has zero bubbles, its refreshing nature relies heavily on temperature. To maximize its crisp, thirst-quenching snap, bury the cans deep inside a cooler packed with crushed ice and rock salt for at least two hours before cracking the tab.

• The Poolside Mason Jar Upgrade: If you are hosting a backyard barbecue, elevate the presentation. Pour a can over a large Mason jar packed to the absolute brim with crushed ice and garnish with fresh fruit pieces (a lemon wheel for the Original, a sliced berry for the Strawberry, or a mint sprig) to instantly release the natural citrus oils.

Smart Food Pairings

Surfside's combination of zero carbonation, sharp lemon acidity, and clean vodka weight makes it a phenomenal palate cleanser that beautifully balances heavy fats and smoky spices.

• Original & Fried Seafood: An absolute textbook home run alongside fried fish and chips, shrimp po' boys, or crispy fish tacos. The cold-pressed lemon juice cuts through frying oil and tartar sauce perfectly.

• Black Cherry & Smoked Barbecue: Pair a can next to a plate of slow-smoked pulled pork sandwiches, burnt ends, or baby back ribs with a sweet-savory rub. The rich cherry and lemon notes harmonize beautifully with wood smoke.

• Strawberry/Raspberry & Summer Plates: These berry expressions behave spectacularly next to grilled chicken skewers, a fresh goat cheese and walnut salad, or light angel food cake with whipped cream.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Surfside Lemonade carbonated?

No, it is 100% flat and non-carbonated. Surfside's entire claim to fame is its "zero bubbles" formula. While traditional hard seltzers use heavy carbonation that can cause a bloated, full feeling during a long beach day or round of golf, Surfside drinks with the remarkably smooth, chuggable, and clean texture of a premium iced tea or homemade fountain lemonade.

How does Surfside compare to High Noon?

They are major competitors in the premium, spirit-based RTD tier, but they feature completely different structural designs:

• High Noon: Is built around real fruit juices and vodka or tequila, but it features a highly carbonated seltzer fizz framework.

• Surfside: Uses a premium corn vodka base and real juice, but is entirely still (non-carbonated), making it a smoother, less filling alternative for consumers who dislike gas bubbles. Furthermore, Surfside keeps its calorie count strictly at 100 with only 2g of sugar across the board.

Does this product need to be kept refrigerated?

While an unopened 8-pack is completely shelf-stable and can sit safely in your room-temperature pantry or garage without spoiling, storing it cold inside a refrigerator or cooler is highly recommended. Keeping it chilled preserves the fragile, fresh-squeezed citrus properties and ensures a can is instantly ready to drop into an ice bucket for unexpected guests.
