Review: High Noon Sun Sips Lemon

High Noon Sun Sips Lemon was introduced May 2022.  It is sold in an individual flavor four pack.  Lemon is the only one of the 11 High Noon Sun Sips flavors not currently available in a variety pack.  Stay tuned as this will not be the case by the end of 2022.  E&J Gallo launched the High Noon Sun Sips brand in 2019 and since then they have enjoyed dramatic sales growth.  Instead of launching High Noon as a vodka seltzer or canned cocktail, High Noon from the start has been positioned as a hard seltzer.  While the High Noon variety packs still promote the brand as a hard seltzer, the can itself refers to the brand as Vodka & Soda.  Each 12 ounce slim can is made with 5 times distilled vodka made from corn, real juice, sparkling water, and natural flavors.

Review: High Noon Sun Sips Variety Pack

High Noon Sun Sips is a line of canned Vodka and Soda that was launched by E&J Gallo in 2019.  They had previously produced a straight vodka and a couple of fruit juice infused vodka’s under the High Noon label.  So what is High Noon Sun Sips a canned cocktail or a hard seltzer.  I would call it a canned cocktail but Hard Seltzer sales grew 226% last year.  Canned cocktails only grew 83%.  The E&J Marketing Department decided to go with Hard Seltzer.  High Noon currently produces six flavors, four are featured in their variety pack.  Those four include Grapefruit, Pineapple, Black Cherry, and Watermelon.  Lime and Peach are sold in their own six packs.  High Noon starts with a 5 times distilled vodka made from Midwest grown corn.  Real juice, sparkling water, and natural flavors are blended.  Each 12 oz. can weighs in at 100 calories with 4.5% alcohol.
