CALGARY, Alberta, June 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Just as the weather in Calgary begins to shift, patios are dusted off, and shorts and sandals are pulled from the back of your closet, Wild Rose Brewery, working with Wild Life Distillery and Highwood Distillers, swoops in with Drifter sparkling vodka.

Get ready for this effervescent, canned cocktail with a taste bud delighting combination of rose hip, grapefruit, orange, and lime.

“This was a joint labour of love between Wild Rose, and two other fantastic Alberta based companies,” says Brian Smith, Director, Brewing Operations for Wild Rose Brewery. “We worked closely with Wild Life Distillery, out of Canmore, to create the bitters that provide the incredible flavour, while High Wood Distillers, based in High River, provided their smooth, triple distilled vodka. We blended, carbonated, and canned it all into a crisp, clean, refreshing ready-made cocktail that we are excited to have ready for the kickoff of summer!”
