Remember when you were a kid and you went out playing with your buddy in the park climbing trees or whatever and then his mom called you in and gave you a bottle of Sunny D to keep up your energy levels high so you didn’t bother her again for the rest of the afternoon?

Those really were the days and they might be dead and gone now, but it looks like Sunny D is banking on recapturing at least some level of that nostalgia with their new venture for adults, an alcoholic version of the drink that we all loved as children. The beverage is called Sunny D Vodka Seltzers and they’re due to hit US stores on Saturday March 11th and will hopefully find their way over here before too long as well.
The drink contains real fruit juice, sparkling water, natural orange flavour, vodka and is around 4.5% alcohol, retailing at the price of $9.99 for a pack of 354ml cans. Here’s what Chief Marketing Officer Ilene Bergenfeld had to say about it:
People have been asking for this kind of product for some time, inspired by the fact they often used Sunny D as a mixed.
So, we looked at the hard seltzer category, and thought, good, but we can do better.
And SunnyD Vodka Seltzer was born.
The drink has a great color, texture, and aroma. Great aftertaste, very refreshing and very easy to drink.
We have developed something we know adult SunnyD fans and hard seltzer enthusiasts alike will be proud to enjoy.
Meh I dunno about that – it sounds pretty gross to be honest, but the hard seltzer market is blowing up in the US now and to a certain extent over here too, so it’s no surprise that Sunny D are trying to jump in and capitalise on their famous brand within it. Not sure if it’s really something that I’m going to be interested in myself, but some people on Twitter seem stoked about it at least:

Sunny D is now selling an orange vodka seltzer… this is either the high point of civilization or the surest sign of its downfall.
(Also… where can I buy some in San Diego? Anyone know???)https://t.co/wPNS7UzNiZ— Jared Aarons (@10NewsAarons) March 7, 2023
