Surfside, the Philadelphia-born leader in spirits-based iced tea and lemonade ready-to-drink cocktails, recently launched four new offerings timed perfectly for spring gatherings.[1][2]
Blueberry Lemonade Brings a Berry Burst to Classics
The standout addition, Surfside Blueberry Lemonade + Vodka, blends crisp lemonade with sweet hints of blueberry for a refreshing twist on a timeless favorite.[1] This single-flavor option arrives in convenient 4-packs of 12-ounce cans, ideal for casual afternoons or backyard events. Consumers can also expect it soon in the brand’s Lemonade Variety 8-pack.
Stateside Brands CEO and Co-Founder Clement Pappas highlighted the innovation behind it. “Our new flavor innovations are a direct reflection of our fans’ evolving taste preferences – a growing desire for delicious, flavor-forward, sessionable beverages,” he stated.[1] The drink maintains Surfside’s commitment to quality ingredients, including real juice.
Half & Half Variety Pack Delivers Diverse Tea-Lemonade Hybrids
The new Surfside Half & Half Variety 8-Pack elevates the popular iced tea-lemonade hybrid with three fresh variations alongside the original.[2] This pack caters to those seeking variety for golf outings, beach days, or sports watching, featuring a golf-inspired design.
Inside the 8-pack, fans find:
- Surfside Iced Tea Half & Half + Vodka, the signature half iced tea and half lemonade blend.
- Raspberry Half & Half + Vodka, fruity and bright with raspberry notes.
- Mango Half & Half + Vodka, a tropical take on the classic.
- Blackberry Half & Half + Vodka, bold and juicy.
Stateside Brands President and Co-Founder Matt Quigley emphasized the pack’s appeal. “With our new Half & Half Variety Pack we leaned into a refined, golf-inspired aesthetic that’s intentionally signaling a prominent occasion for enjoying our Half & Half flavors,” he noted.[1]
Sessionable Specs Meet Modern Demands
Each new Surfside RTD clocks in at 100 calories, just 2 grams of sugar, and zero carbonation, making them light yet flavorful choices.[2] Crafted with Stateside Vodka, real tea, and real lemonade, they offer 4.5% ABV in 12-ounce slim cans.
Packaging options include 4-packs at a suggested retail price of $10.99 and 8-packs at $19.99, with select flavors also in 19.2-ounce “Longboard” cans for $3.99 each. The products rolled out immediately to retailers nationwide and online direct-to-consumer.[1]
From Philly Roots to National Dominance
Launched in 2022 by Philadelphia natives Matt and Bryan Quigley alongside Clement and Zach Pappas, Surfside quickly claimed the top spot in the spirits-based iced tea and lemonade RTD category.[1] The brand posted triple-digit growth from 2022 to 2024 and sold 11.1 million cases in 2025 alone.
Awards underscore its momentum, including “2025 Spirits Brand of the Year” from Market Watch Magazine and consecutive Impact Hot Brand honors through 2026. Surfside debuted these newcomers at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival in Miami from February 20 to 22.[1] For more, visit the Surfside website.
