Fresh summer salads with goat cheese and mixed berries complement the fruity profile. Light appetizers like bruschetta or shrimp cocktail work well alongside the clean, low-ABV character. Dark chocolate adds a rich contrast to the berry sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Surfside Raspberry come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e This expression is available as a 4-pack of 12oz cans, which is the standard format for the Surfside single-flavor offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Surfside Raspberry worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Surfside Raspberry positions as a competitive entry-level premixed cocktail, with the added distinction of using a Double Gold Medal-winning vodka base — a quality edge that many competitors at this price tier lack.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Surfside Raspberry?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe most compelling reason to reach for Surfside Raspberry over the dozens of competing canned cocktails is the base spirit. Stateside Vodka's Double Gold Medal at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition is a significant credential — most ready-to-drink brands do not disclose their spirit source, let alone one with that level of recognition. The 4.5% ABV hits the sessionable sweet spot, sitting below most hard seltzers while delivering more pronounced flavor. For raspberry-flavored RTD cocktails specifically, the clean distillate foundation prevents the artificial aftertaste that plagues many lower-quality competitors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surfside","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47289159188649,"sku":"42318","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/products\/surfside-raspberry-vodka-4pk","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
