Kylie Jenner has introduced a new ready-to-drink (RTD) vodka soda called Sprinter, generating excitement among drink enthusiasts. While I’m not a fan of the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, I’ve respected Kendall Jenner for creating an excellent tequila with 818 Tequila. This background informed my expectations for Kylie’s offering.

I purchased the variety pack, which includes four flavors—grapefruit, lime, peach, and black cherry—and conducted a taste test.

Sprinter Overview

Sprinter is a vodka soda that combines vodka with sparkling water and fruit juice. Each 355ml can contains a low 4.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) and 100 calories, with no gluten or added sugar. One notable aspect of Sprinter is the choice of vodka over grain alcohol, which often yields a dull taste.

The branding is sleek and minimalist, with each flavor distinguished by color—making them easy to pick without searching for labels.

Taste Test Highlights

Here’s a breakdown of each flavor:

1. Peach: My favorite. It captures the delicate tang and sweetness of real peaches, making it truly refreshing.
2. Grapefruit: Offers a tart, zesty bitterness that balances well with the vodka.
3. Black Cherry: Has a rich fruit flavor, being the most robust choice available.
4. Lime: This was the weakest link for me. The combination with vodka doesn’t stand out and feels reminiscent of many other lime-flavored RTDs on the market.

While I enjoyed the fruit-forward flavors, my only major concern is the low ABV. At 4.5%, a single can may leave those who typically drink more feeling like they need to consume two to feel any effect—totalling 200 calories and prompting a reconsideration of simply mixing a cocktail instead.

Conclusion

Overall, Kylie Jenner’s Sprinter delivers beautifully in terms of aesthetics and flavor, making it a contender for your next party drink. With its juicy taste, it could easily convert you into a fan. For those interested in trying Sprinter, you can find it here.
