SHARP & Simply
If you’re a regular reader, you know we’ve got nothing but love for seaside staples like craft beer and hard seltzer. Still, there’s no reason to become a creature of habit — not when brand new, citrusy-sweet bevvies have arrived in Canada. Next time you’re in search of coolers to wash down your watermelon slice, look no further than Simply Spiked Lemonade. Like the kids from the patch, spiked lemonade is both sour and sweet, with just enough chilled carbonation to beat the hot sun. Plus, these spiked lemonades come in three lemonade flavours — signature, blueberry, and strawberry — all bubbling with the tart taste of real fruit juice.
While they’re plenty capable of standing on their own, spiked lemonades pair well with beach-cooler classics like pasta salad. Take a box of signature lemonade to compliment your fruit basket, or contrast savoury barbecue skewers with the fruity strawberry blend. They’re available in single flavour packs, or as a variety of all three flavours — perfect for hosting a crowd. Trust us, your friends will thank you later.
When you’re ready to entertain, these spiked lemonades have you covered. Referencing the drink’s authentic fruit juice, Simply devised a spinoff invention: the world’s first lie detector in a can. Dubbed the “Keep It Real Can,” the name comes from the can’s ability to detect lying participants. With Galvanic Skin Response technology and Pulse Rate electrodes (to measure sweat glands and heart rate, respectively) the can gets up-close and personal with participating users to gauge their answers. Charged by a USB-C cable and activated via mobile phone, it’s one accessible party trick.
Only eight cans have been made thus far, but the Keep It Real Can will be visiting at pop-ups around the country all summer long, so there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know your buddies a little better (or not, if they’ve never said traffic made them late to the party). If you’re feeling lucky, Simply invites all lemonade samplers to write an honest review here. To sweeten the pot, the realist reviewer will win a reward of $5,000.
