Jones Soda Co. has expanded into alcoholic beverages with the launch of Spiked Jones Hard Craft Soda. Unique to the hard soda category, Spiked Jones is full flavor with the iconic brand's cane sugar formulation and elevated alcohol content.

It was created in partnership with Rainmaker, LLC, producer of Locust Cider with national distribution. This is the first product collaboration of the northwest based beverage companies focused on operational efficiencies, incremental sales and profits for key retailers. Spiked Jones will launch with 19.2 ounce single cans and a mixed pack of 12 ounce sleek cans.  The 12oz cans feature 8.4% alcohol by volume and the 19.2oz 6.9% alcohol by volume, compared to the 5% or less of many other products.  Launch flavors include M.F. Grape, Orange & Cream, Strawberry Lime, Berry Lemonade, Cola & Lime, and Green Apple. The brand has secured a major retail grocery partner for initial distribution in Q2/2024, to be announced at a future date, with additional distribution partners to follow in food service, retail grocery and convenience.

Cans will feature user submitted photos, as popular with other Jones Soda products, and the launch is being supported by in-store sampling, and activation at music festivals. Rainmaker, producer of Locust Cider, has deep expertise in crafting authentic cider flavors and combinations, as well as national distribution in bars, restaurants, and other food/beverage establishments. The brand specializes in bold hard ciders and innovative beverages made with real ingredients. It compliments and broadens Jones' classic flavors and formulation, retail grocery and convenience relationships, as well as its new footprint in food service. The launch of Spiked Jones Hard Craft Soda follows Jones' recent expansion into food service in the USA and Canada, with Dot Foods and other key partners.

It is in addition to the craft soda favorite's successful launch into pets and legal cannabis, as well as its innovative labels, Special Release program, and other success.
