The base vodka is 7x hand-distilled from 100% non-GMO corn sourced from Missouri in a custom copper pot still, then finished through a proprietary process involving carbon, oxygen, and ultra-cold filtration. What truly separates this RTD line is the proofing water — developed over two years of experimentation, it passes through a custom filtration system that infuses a specific mineral and electrolyte profile into the final liquid. The vodka is certified gluten-free, and no artificial flavors are used in any of the four varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Cherry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold, juicy dark-cherry aroma that carries into a ripe, slightly tart flavor. The finish is crisp and clean with no lingering sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, zesty citrus on the nose — think fresh orange peel rather than candy. The palate delivers a smooth, natural citrus kick balanced by effervescence, finishing dry and refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLemon Cucumber:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool cucumber and lemon zest come alive on the nose without artificial overtones. The taste is genuinely refreshing, with the cucumber providing a vegetal crispness against the tart citrus. A hint of mint rounds out a clean, lingering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePineapple:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical and vibrant on the aroma, with ripe pineapple at the center. The palate is well-balanced — sweet enough to register as fruit, dry enough to stay in soda territory. The finish is light and easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eHow to Drink Stateside Vodka Soda\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are designed to be consumed straight from the can, well chilled. Pour over ice with a fresh garnish if you want a slightly more polished presentation. The Black Cherry variety works well as a base for a Cherry Collins riff — add a squeeze of lemon and a dash of simple syrup. The Lemon Cucumber can stand in as the long component of a Cucumber Mule, topped with a splash of ginger beer. The Pineapple flavor pairs naturally with a float of coconut rum for an easy tropical spritz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eBest For\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStocking a cooler for outdoor barbecues and pool days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroducing non-cocktail drinkers to a cleaner-tasting RTD option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSampling all four Stateside flavors before committing to a single-flavor pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-ABV social drinking where session-ability matters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Stateside Vodka Soda taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each of the four flavors — Black Cherry, Orange, Lemon Cucumber, and Pineapple — tastes like real fruit rather than artificial flavoring, with a dry, effervescent finish driven by the underlying corn vodka. The overall impression is closer to a fresh vodka soda with a fruit twist than a sugary hard seltzer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Stateside Vodka Soda compare to High Noon?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both use real vodka as a base rather than malt liquor, giving them a cleaner, more neutral backbone than most hard seltzers. Stateside differentiates itself with its electrolyte-enhanced proofing water and 7x-distilled, non-GMO corn vodka produced in-house at a single distillery, while High Noon uses real fruit juice as a prominent flavor component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Stateside Vodka Soda good for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 4.5% ABV with no harsh alcohol burn, this variety pack is very approachable for anyone new to vodka-based drinks or transitioning from flavored seltzers to something with a cleaner spirit base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Stateside Vodka Soda made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Stateside Vodka Soda is produced by Stateside Urbancraft Vodka in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The distillery was founded in 2015 and distills all of its vodka on-site using a custom copper pot still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with Stateside Vodka Soda?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Black Cherry pairs well with smoked ribs or pulled pork, where the fruit notes complement char and spice. Orange works alongside grilled shrimp or fish tacos for a citrus-on-citrus harmony. Lemon Cucumber is a natural match for light salads, cucumber sushi rolls, or fresh spring rolls. Pineapple complements teriyaki chicken or Hawaiian-style pizza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Stateside Vodka Soda come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The variety pack contains eight cans and is the standard format for sampling all four flavors; individual flavors are also available in their own multi-packs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Stateside Vodka Soda worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Stateside positions in the premium tier of the RTD vodka soda category, justified by its craft distillery pedigree, non-GMO corn base, electrolyte-enhanced water, and the absence of artificial flavors — details that separate it from mass-market hard seltzers at a similar or lower price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Stateside Vodka Soda?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strongest argument for this variety pack is provenance: every drop of vodka comes from a single Philadelphia distillery that controls its process from grain to can. The electrolyte-enhanced proofing water — a formula the Quigley brothers spent two years developing — gives the liquid a noticeably smoother mouthfeel than competitors relying on standard filtered water. The Lemon Cucumber Mint expression's 93-point score from tastings.com is unusually high for the RTD category, validating the distillery's no-artificial-flavors approach. For anyone looking for a sessionable, gluten-free, craft-quality vodka soda that actually tastes like it was made by people who care about distillation, this eight-can sampler is the most efficient way to find a favorite.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stateside","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839196459177,"sku":"38341","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Stateside-Vodka-Soda-Variety-8__41941.jpg?v=1730517882"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/stateside.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
