If you grew up drinking Crystal Light, it's time to add some retinol to your skincare routine. Or, just grab a pack of its new Vodka Refreshers. That's right '80s and '90s kids—Crystal Light is giving you an adult version of your favorite childhood drink. Just like the low-calories lemonades, Crystal Light's new Refreshers are now the lowest-calorie vodka refresher on the market. With just 77 calories per can, zero carbs, zero sugar, and a light 3.8% ABV, this drink is primed to be an easy summer sipper.
The debut of Crystal Light's Vodka Refreshers marks the first time a powdered beverage brand has veered into the alcohol space—and, it marks another first for the brand: its first ready-to-drink option. In fact, the brand found inspiration from fans on social media. "With tens of millions of social media videos showcasing creative ways to mix Crystal Light into cocktails, creating a delicious lower-calorie vodka refresher was a natural step for us,” said Jeremy Kross, Director of Beverage Mixes at The Kraft Heinz Company in a press release.
The new beverages will be available in fan-favorite flavors Lemonade and Wild Strawberry, with more on the horizon. The drink will be slightly carbonated and feature triple-filtered vodka for a smooth taste.
East Coasters get to get their hands on these before anyone else. Crystal Light Vodka Refreshers will be rolling out this month at select retailers in the Northeast region in a four-pack for $9.99 with expansion plans, new flavors, and multipacks to come in 2026. Finally, a fool-proof way to get the perfect ratio of powder to water every time.
