Two classic warm-weather favourites, now in frozen ready-to-drink cocktail pouches – no blender required
As consumers 21+ look for refreshing, affordable ways to enjoy cocktails at home, Daily’s Cocktails, the leader in frozen ready-to-drink cocktail pouches, is introducing two refreshing additions – Spiked Strawberry Lemonade and Spiked Iced Tea Lemonade.
Lemonade and tea-flavoured ready-to-drink beverages remain at the forefront of the category, with lemonade representing 11 % of dollar sales and tea at 5 %, both continuing to gain traction as consumer demand for refreshing flavour profiles grows.1
Daily’s takes those familiar favourites and transforms them into bold, flavour-forward frozen cocktails all in its signature, single-serve pouch format.
Each 10 oz. pouch (MSRP $1.99) delivers 5 % ABV and slushy-style enjoyment without the blender, ice, or mess. Simply freeze, massage, and enjoy.
Spiked Strawberry Lemonade balances bright citrus with juicy strawberry flavour for a sweet-tart finish, while Spiked Iced Tea Lemonade pairs smooth tea notes with crisp lemonade flavour for a refreshing twist on a backyard classic.
At a time when consumers are increasingly value-conscious, Daily’s frozen cocktail pouches offer an accessible way to enjoy a frozen cocktail experience at home – no expensive bar tab or equipment required.
Spiked Strawberry Lemonade and Spiked Iced Tea Lemonade will be available in the US beginning spring 2026.

New season, new flavour, new non-carbonated way to refresh this spring
Raspberry Dragonfruit is Happy Thursday’s bold spin on the hottest flavours trending with 21+ Gen Z drinkers. Inspired by top-selling non-alcoholic refreshers, Raspberry Dragonfruit taps into a growing demand among new legal-aged drinkers who crave the flavours they know and love from their favourite fruity coffee-house beverages.
Dragonfruit-flavoured beverages have experienced a 111 % increase on menus over the past four years1, showcasing the growing popularity of this flavour. So get ready for a spring refresh because Happy Thursday’s Raspberry Dragonfruit is here, vibrantly coloured and packing a bold 4.4 % ABV in every sip. Bursting with tropical raspberry dragonfruit flavour, this refreshingly smooth spiked refresher is ready to be this season’s go-to sip!
The bubble-free trend isn’t going anywhere, driven by the shifting preferences of today’s new wave of drinkers. Many consumers say that carbonated drinks make them feel bloated, leading to discomfort, which is a main driver in the demand for smooth spiked refreshers over fizzy seltzers.
