Super Lyte Variety 8Pk

Super Lyte Variety 8Pk is a non-carbonated, vodka-based ready-to-drink cocktail pack featuring eight 12 oz cans at 4.5% ABV. Built on Stateside Vodka — a base spirit that earned a Double Gold and 95 points at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition — the variety pack collects four flavors inspired by nostalgic sports drink profiles: Fruit Punch, Orange, Lemon-Lime, and Blue Chill, with two cans of each.

Quick Facts: ABV: 4.5%  |  Origin: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA  |  Vodka-Based RTD  |  Producer: Stateside Brands

Production & Heritage

Super Lyte comes from Stateside Brands, founded in 2015 by two sets of brothers — Matt and Bryan Quigley alongside Clement and Zach Pappas — out of a distillery in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. The concept emerged from watching consumers mix vodka with popular sports drinks on their own; Stateside spent over two years developing a pre-mixed formula that captures that familiar electrolyte-adjacent character without legally qualifying as a sports drink. The result is a non-carbonated, gluten-free RTD with zero sugar and just 90 calories per 12 oz can, incorporating sea salt, sodium citrate, and monopotassium phosphate to deliver a subtle briny minerality uncommon in the canned cocktail category.

Tasting Notes

Fruit Punch: A layered, nostalgic fruit punch profile opens with mixed berry and tropical sweetness. The finish is smooth and clean, landing somewhere between familiar childhood flavors and a polished adult cocktail.

Orange: Bright, vibrant citrus hits immediately with a juicy orange burst. A modern twist keeps it refreshing and easy-drinking rather than syrupy, with a dry, crisp close.

Lemon-Lime: A balanced tug between sweet and tart citrus notes drives this flavor. It reads clean and refreshing with a subtle mineral edge from the sea salt.

Blue Chill: Bold and smooth with an icy, cool character that sets it apart from the warmer fruit flavors. The finish is brisk and satisfying, with a hint of salinity underneath.

Across all four expressions, a touch of sea salt threads through the palate, giving each can a recognizable electrolyte-style backbone without any actual sugar content.

How to Drink Super Lyte

Super Lyte is designed to drink straight from the can, chilled, with no mixing required — its non-carbonated body and low 4.5% ABV make it sessionable on its own. For those who want to experiment, each flavor lends itself to simple builds: pour the Fruit Punch over ice with a float of dark rum for a Rum Punch riff; use the Lemon-Lime as a low-effort Vodka Collins base by adding a squeeze of fresh lemon and a splash of club soda; or blend the Blue Chill with coconut cream and ice for a quick frozen cocktail with tropical appeal.

• Fitness-minded drinkers seeking a zero-sugar, 90-calorie RTD alternative to hard seltzers

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Super Lyte taste like? Each flavor channels a classic sports drink profile — Fruit Punch, Orange, Lemon-Lime, and Blue Chill — with a subtle sea salt minerality running through all four. The drinks are smooth and non-carbonated, with zero sugar and a clean vodka backbone.

How does Super Lyte compare to High Noon? Both are canned vodka-based RTDs in a similar ABV range (4.5–5%), but Super Lyte is non-carbonated and modeled after sports drink flavors, while High Noon uses real fruit juice and carbonation for a hard seltzer-adjacent profile. The texture and flavor inspiration are the most significant differences between the two.

Is Super Lyte good for casual sipping? Yes — at 4.5% ABV, zero sugar, and 90 calories per can, it is built for easy, sessionable drinking straight from the can without any mixing or preparation.

Where is Super Lyte made? Super Lyte is produced by Stateside Brands at their distillery in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the company has operated since its founding in 2015.

What foods pair well with Super Lyte? The Fruit Punch pairs well with grilled chicken skewers for a sweet-savory contrast. Orange complements fish tacos with a citrus echo. Lemon-Lime works alongside light salads or ceviche, where its tartness mirrors the dish. Blue Chill stands up to spicy wings, with its cool finish offsetting heat.

What sizes does Super Lyte come in? The variety pack contains eight 12 oz (355mL) cans, with two cans each of Fruit Punch, Orange, Lemon-Lime, and Blue Chill.

Is Super Lyte worth the price? Super Lyte positions itself as an accessible, value-oriented RTD that competes directly with popular canned cocktail brands in the everyday tier. Its zero-sugar, non-carbonated formula and the quality of the Stateside Vodka base spirit give it a distinct edge within its price class.

Why Super Lyte?

What separates Super Lyte from the crowded RTD field is its non-carbonated format — a deliberate choice that most competitors avoid in favor of the hard seltzer template. The base spirit is Stateside Vodka, which earned a Double Gold and 95 points at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, lending genuine distilling credibility to what could otherwise be dismissed as a novelty product. At 90 calories and zero grams of sugar per can, it threads a narrow gap between flavor-forward RTDs and health-conscious alternatives. For anyone fatigued by the fizz of hard seltzers but uninterested in sugary premixed cocktails, this variety pack presents a genuinely different option in the category.
