According to a press release, the drink is a vodka-based seltzer and the first of its kind. It contains a hint of maple syrup (tapped by the founders in Ontario), citrus notes and sparkling water. It has a four-percent alcoholic content.
“Maple has a long heritage in Canada, and we're excited to share it in an innovative new format,” said Maple Light’s founders.
The drink’s inspiration came from the founders boiling down sap in their sugar shack in 2023. It created a maple cocktail that was a hit with their family and friends.
Maple Light is available at the following locations and is coming soon to grocery and convenience stores:
Local bars and restaurants, including (but not limited to) Maple Moose Pub, Jesse’s Tap and Grill, Night Kitchen and The Vine
Peterborough Memorial Centre
Liquor Convenience Outlets, including Sullivan’s General Store and Express Convenience (Fowlers Corners ESSO)
