Deep Eddy Vodka and Soda Grapefruit 4Pk

Deep Eddy Vodka and Soda Grapefruit 4Pk is a ready-to-drink vodka soda made with real grapefruit juice, bottled at 4.5% ABV in a convenient four-pack. What separates this canned cocktail from the crowded RTD field is its foundation: ten-times-distilled corn vodka from Deep Eddy's Texas distillery, blended with actual fruit juice and pure cane sugar rather than artificial flavorings or sweeteners.

Quick Facts: ABV: 4.5%  |  Origin: Buda, Texas, USA  |  Style: Ready-to-Drink Vodka Soda  |  Distillery: Deep Eddy Distilling Co.

Production & Heritage

Deep Eddy Distilling Co. was founded in Austin, Texas, and currently operates its distillery in Buda, just south of the city in the Texas Hill Country. The base spirit is a corn vodka that undergoes column distillation ten times before being filtered with pure Hill Country water — the same process behind their flagship and flavored vodka lines. For this RTD expression, the finished vodka is combined with real grapefruit juice lightly sweetened with pure cane sugar and carbonated water, resulting in a cocktail that mirrors the experience of mixing Deep Eddy Ruby Red at home but in a grab-and-go format.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh grapefruit peel leads, followed by a clean, slightly sweet citrus note. There is very little discernible alcohol on the nose, keeping things light and inviting.

Taste: The entry is crisp and effervescent, with bright grapefruit citrus arriving immediately. Mid-palate, a gentle sweetness from the cane sugar balances the tart juice, while the vodka base stays clean and neutral in the background. The overall impression is refreshing without being cloying.

Finish: Short and dry, with lingering grapefruit tartness and fine, persistent carbonation. A subtle mineral quality from the Texas Hill Country water rounds out the final sip.

How to Drink Deep Eddy Grapefruit Soda

This is designed to be enjoyed straight from the can, well-chilled or poured over ice. No mixing required — it arrives ready to drink. That said, it can serve as a base or shortcut in several cocktails: a Paloma Highball, where topping it with a splash of fresh lime juice and a salted rim adds depth; a Grapefruit Spritz, combining it with a measure of Aperol and a rosemary sprig for a bitter-citrus aperitivo; or a Greyhound Float, poured over grapefruit sorbet for a playful warm-weather dessert drink.

Best For

• Outdoor gatherings where glass bottles are impractical — pool days, beach trips, picnics
• Stocking a boat or cooler with a low-ABV option that still delivers real flavor
• Casual weeknight refreshment without the need for a home bar setup
• Gifting to fans of grapefruit-forward drinks who value natural ingredients over artificial alternatives
