DALLAS – SpikedAde, the first vodka-based enhanced beverage inspired by iconic
sports drink flavors, announced that they have selected members of the Spirits League
to distribute their ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails across Texas starting June 1, 2026.
SpikedAde launched in New Jersey in 2025 as a refreshing, functional RTD cocktail
infused with smooth vodka for effortless sipping. The innovative beverage is the perfect
combination of flavor and fun with 4.5% ABV, zero sugar, 100 calories and no bubbles.
With a unique flavor profile based on fan-favorite sports drinks, SpikedAde is made for
consumers seeking a lighter, more refreshing option without compromising how they
feel tomorrow.
SpikedAde has seen early momentum in its first year on the shelves and will now
strategically expand into the Texas market via the Spirits League. The network of
independent beer and spirits distributors across Texas will drive growth through their
local brand building expertise, unified operational coordination and strong execution
across both on and off premise.
Spirits League members participating in this partnership include Andrews Distributing,
Faust Distributing Company, Fisher 59, Giglio Distributing, GG Distributing, Houston
Distributing Company, KEG 1 O’Neal, L&F Distributors and Reed Beverage, with

SpikedAde into the Texas market through their statewide reach and proven executional
excellence,” said Nicky Runnels, VP Sales, Southeast & New Business Development
from SpikedAde. “We’re excited to work with their network of distributors to connect
even more consumers with a first-of-its-kind RTD that provides flavor, functionality, and
all-day enjoyment for the active, social lives of Texans across the state!”

new, emerging hydration alcohol segment with an innovative RTD built for the modern,
active drinking occasion,” said David Holt, President of the Spirits League and EVP of
