Sun Cruiser vodka iced tea and lemonade in Westford

Sun Cruiser makes canned vodka drinks built on iced tea and lemonade, and CBC Liquors on Littleton Rd in Westford carries them. You can pick up single flavors or variety packs in store, order for pickup, or ask about delivery and shipping.

What is Sun Cruiser?

Sun Cruiser is a brand of ready-to-drink cocktails sold in cans. The idea is simple: vodka mixed with the flavors of iced tea and lemonade, so the can tastes like something you would pour over ice on a porch, only with alcohol in it.

Because it is a pre-mixed drink, there is nothing to measure, shake or squeeze. You chill the can, open it and pour it over ice if you like. That is the whole appeal for backyard gatherings, a day on the lake or a cooler for a cookout.

At CBC Liquors we keep the Sun Cruiser range together on one brand page, so you can see which flavors and packs are in stock before you make the drive to 142 Littleton Rd.

Which Sun Cruiser flavors can you get at CBC Liquors?

The iced tea side of the line includes SUN CRUISER Classic Iced Tea Vodka, a straightforward black tea flavor, and SUN CRUISER Raspberry Iced Tea Vodka, which adds a fruit note to the tea.

For something closer to lemonade, there is SUN CRUISER Lemonade Iced Tea Vodka, which blends the two, the same idea as a half-and-half. If you prefer fruit over tea, SUN CRUISER Blueberry Lemonade is the one to look at.

Stock moves, so the brand page shows what is on the shelf today. If a flavor you want is out, ask at the counter and we will tell you what we can do.

Should you buy a single flavor or a variety pack?

If you already know you like iced tea, start with a single flavor. You are not committing to anything you have not tried, and you can come back for more of the one you liked.

A variety pack suits the opposite situation: you are not sure what you will like, or you are hosting and people have different tastes. SUN CRUISER Iced Tea Variety Pack puts several tea flavors in one box. SUN CRUISER Lemonade Vodka Variety Pac does the same with lemonade flavors.

A mixed pack is also a low-effort way to find your favorite. Try them all once, note which can disappeared first, and buy that one next time.

Is Sun Cruiser a seltzer?

Not quite. Hard seltzers are usually carbonated water with alcohol and a light flavor. Sun Cruiser is vodka with tea or lemonade flavors, so it tastes fuller and sweeter than a typical seltzer and is usually not carbonated like one.

That is why it sits with the ready-to-drink cans in our catalogue rather than with the seltzers. Both are easy, grab-and-go options, but they suit different moods. Seltzers are crisp and light. Iced tea and lemonade drinks are rounder and taste more like a soft drink with a kick.

If you are stocking a cooler for a group, a mix of the two covers more preferences than either one alone.

How should you serve it?

Cold. Keep the cans in the refrigerator or on ice for a few hours before you open them. A room-temperature can of anything sweet tends to taste flat.

Pour over a glass full of ice and add a lemon wedge for the lemonade and tea flavors, or a few fresh blueberries with the blueberry lemonade. You can also drink straight from the can, which is the usual way at a picnic or beach.

Pace yourself. These drinks go down easily because they taste like iced tea and lemonade, but each can still contains alcohol. Alternate with water, and always plan a safe ride home. You must be 21 or older to buy and drink them.

What goes well with iced tea and lemonade vodka drinks?

Food that suits a summer afternoon works best: grilled chicken, burgers, corn, pasta salad, and anything with a little salt. The tea and lemon notes cut through grilled and fried foods well.

If you would rather build your own drink, our vodka shelf is the place to start, and the mixers section covers the lemonade and tea side. Canned drinks are easier, but making a pitcher gives you control over how strong it is.

For a mixed crowd, put some cider or a few seltzers in the same cooler so there is a choice for people who do not want sweet drinks.
