Crush-It Hard Iced Tea 355 ml - 24 Cans

Crush-It Hard Iced Tea represents a modern, craft-conscious shift in the rapidly growing hard tea category across Western Canada. Produced by Radouga Distilleries in Saskatchewan the artisanal team behind the award-winning Provincial Vodka Crush-It was designed to disrupt a market saturated with hyper-sweet, syrupy macro-coolers. Positioned as a cleaner, more adult alternative to mass-market giants, this vodka-based iced tea utilizes real, natural ingredients to mimic the experience of an authentic, home-brewed southern sweet tea.

Ready to Drink Description

Crush-It Hard Iced Tea pours a completely clear, rich amber-bronze color, looking identical to a freshly steeped batch of black tea with soft, minimal effervescence.

Aroma: The nose is clean, deep, and beautifully authentic. It leads with dominant notes of earthy, freshly brewed black tea leaves, followed by a bright, refreshing hint of citrus lemon zest. There are zero synthetic or chemical candy aromas; it smells entirely natural, crisp, and clean.

Palate: On the tongue, it is light-to-medium bodied with a remarkably smooth, uncarbonated mouthfeel that mimics traditional iced tea. It leads with a delicate flavor of steeped orange pekoe tea and a touch of real lemon juice, which is anchored by a mild, natural sweetness. Unlike its competitors, it finishes exceptionally crisp and dry, highlighting a pleasant tannic tea-leaf bitterness that cleanses the palate completely.

Profile: It sits at an approachable 5.0% ABV and, as a spirit-based beverage, contains 0 IBU, relying on tea tannins rather than hops for structure. It is naturally gluten-free and off-dry.

Technical Notes: The exceptional smoothness of Crush-It stems from its premium spirit base: Radouga Distilleries' own Provincial Vodka, which is multiple-times distilled from locally grown prairie grains. Instead of masking cheap alcohol with heavy high-fructose corn syrup, the liquid is blended using filtered water, all-natural black tea extracts, and just enough real sugar to balance the citrus components. This low-sugar, additive-free philosophy ensures that the vodka remains completely transparent, leaving no heavy, cloying residual sugar behind.
