The News

Daily’s Cocktails, a company in the spirits category, announced the release of two new products: Spiked Strawberry Lemonade and Spiked Iced Tea Lemonade. These are 10 oz. frozen ready-to-drink pouches with 5% ABV, priced at $1.99 each. The products were introduced to cater to consumers aged 21+ seeking affordable and refreshing cocktail options at home.

Opening orientation
Today’s headline is a launch: Daily Cocktails will ship two new frozen‑spiked RTDs—Spiked Strawberry Lemonade and Spiked Iced Tea Lemonade—in spring 2026 under the company’s national distribution umbrella. The story frames the drinks as ready‑to‑drink, low‑effort options that fit neatly into the growing RTD cocktail corridor.

Retail‑first math
A 10-ounce pouch carrying 5 % ABV sells for $1.99, which works out to roughly $3.18 per 16‑ounce equivalent—placing it in the mid‑tier price range common to RTD cocktails.

Analytical tension
The launch touts “new” flavors, but Circana data shows lemonade already makes up 11 % of RTD dollar sales and tea about 5%. These figures indicate consumers already enjoy these bases, so success will depend more on how the product is presented than on introducing a new flavor. Simply Spiked has offered a strawberry‑lemonade variant since 2022, meaning Daily’s entry may struggle to create a big buzz.

Entity enrichment
Daily’s Cocktails belongs to Harvest Hill Beverage Company, which pulls together over $1 B in annual sales and operates with a national manufacturing‑to‑retail pipeline. That infrastructure should allow the new pouches to reach convenience, foodservice, and liquor channels simultaneously without ramp‑up lag that niche brands often face.

Strategic takeaway for distributors
Because the drinks sit in a well‑defined price band and the flavor space is crowded, distributors can add Daily’s offerings to existing RTD slots without cannibalizing top sellers. Pairing them with spring‑outdoor or freezer‑ready campaigns could accelerate adoption. The national reach lets distributors spread inventory across territories but they should monitor depletions closely as consumer demand stabilizes rather than explodes.

Concrete bottom line
The new 10-ounce pouches, priced at $1.99, fit in the mid‑tier ABV range and will be distributed by a company handling more than $1 B in sales—an advantage that should help secure shelf space when supported by focused promotions.

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.

Daily’s takes those familiar favorites and transforms them into bold, flavor-forward frozen cocktails 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 flavor for a sweet-tart finish, while Spiked Iced Tea Lemonade pairs smooth tea notes with crisp lemonade flavor 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.

“Summer calls for bold, refreshing flavors — and nothing says warm weather like lemonade and iced tea,” said Randi Jachino, Chief Marketing Officer at Harvest Hill Beverage Company. “With our new Spiked Strawberry Lemonade and Spiked Iced Tea Lemonade frozen cocktails, we’re taking those backyard classics and giving them the Daily’s treatment: flavor-forward, ready-to-freeze, and ridiculously easy to enjoy. It’s effortless fun, straight from your freezer.”

From girls’ nights and pool parties to lake weekends and beach trips, the freezer-ready pouch makes frozen cocktails effortless and portable. Spiked Strawberry Lemonade and Spiked Iced Tea Lemonade will be available nationwide beginning spring 2026.
