Is that a sports drink—or the future of adult refreshment? Meet Vodkade, the canned vodka cocktail that’s already storming tailgates in Chicago and now making its mark in Phoenix. Designed to look like your favorite electrolyte drink but pack the punch of a premium vodka cocktail, Vodkade is unlike anything Arizona’s seen. With nostalgic flavors like Fruit Punch and Lemon-Lime—and a surprising 8% ABV—this bold new beverage is quickly becoming a cooler essential from Chandler block parties to Glendale pool hangs. If you’re into high-energy weekends, vodka cocktails, and drinks that get the party started without slowing you down, Vodkade is your summer MVP.
From Backyard BBQs to the Ballpark: Vodkade Is Built for Play
Vodkade wasn’t made for the quiet crowd—it’s for the doers, the competitors, the life-of-the-party crew. This vodka-based canned cocktail combines the thirst-quenching feel of a sports drink with the adult twist of real spirits. And yes, you will double-take the first time you see it.
“MADE FOR THOSE WHO LIVE TO PLAY AND PLAY TO WIN,”
Vodkade’s founders have crafted a drink that fits anywhere energy flows—from lakeside yoga to cornhole championships.
Each can comes in one of four bold, retro-inspired flavors:
-
Fruit Punch
-
Lemon-Lime
-
Orange
-
Berry Cherry
Think childhood nostalgia—with an 8% ABV kick and a smooth, clean finish that makes them dangerously easy to sip.
Why Phoenix Is the Perfect Place for Vodkade
Arizona’s social scene thrives outdoors. Whether it’s tubing down Salt River, tailgating at Cardinals games, or hanging at Papago Park, portable, no-fuss cocktails are a must. That’s why Vodkade fits the Phoenix lifestyle like a glove.
Here’s what makes it work in the desert:
-
Canned convenience: Toss it in a cooler, backpack, or golf bag.
-
Vodka-powered: Unlike malt seltzers, Vodkade uses real vodka for cleaner flavor.
-
Shelf-stable & ready anytime: No mixers or glassware required.
-
Naturally flavored: No artificial aftertaste or sugary overload.
And while it looks like your favorite sports hydration drink, it’s very much an adult refreshment—which makes it the ultimate conversation starter at everything from Chandler pool parties to Gilbert hiking meetups.
The Rise of Canned Cocktails in Phoenix
Ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails are booming across Arizona—and vodka-based RTDs are leading the charge. Consumers want something light, fun, and full of flavor without sacrificing quality or convenience. Brands like High Noon and Cutwater opened the door, but Vodkade kicks it open with swagger.
It doesn’t just mimic a cocktail—it reimagines it.
Want to look like you’re sipping electrolytes while you’re actually sipping vodka? Now you can. Whether you’re headed to a Tempe day club, hiking South Mountain, or floating on a pool lounger in Mesa, Vodkade fits seamlessly into any play-hard, chill-hard lifestyle.
