#HIGH NOON DRINK VARIETY PACK DRIVER#
“Despite distribution challenges last summer, the High Noon has proven to be a consumer favorite and a great sales driver for retailers who can keep it in stock, especially as spring and summer roll around.”ĭespite High Noon’s dominance, consumers are increasingly diversifying their RTD selections and reaching for newcomers, especially craft brands. “In liquor stores, canned RTDs like High Noon can often be found in fridges and shelves right next to their hard seltzer counterparts,” says Paquette. Paquette attributes some of High Noon’s success to the fact that it’s able to position itself as both RTD and hard seltzer-in fact, the vodka-based brand refers to itself as a hard seltzer. Not only did the High Noon variety pack become the top-selling RTD on Drizly over the past 12 months, besting longtime favorite Skinnygirl Margarita, but High Noon products currently comprise seven of the top 10 best-selling RTD SKUs.
