Crook & Marker brings its version of low-calorie spiked sodas to Wisconsin first.

Wisconsin gets to be among the first to try a new line of 80-calorie spiked sodas with zero sugar.

Crook & Marker launched a line of Spiked Soda with organic alcohol and zero sugar and Wisconsin is among the first regions to get to try it first. It goes national in 2020.

Crook & Marker Spiked Sodas will be available in Classic Cola, Lemon Lime, Ginger Ale and Root Beer flavors. Crook & Marker Spiked Sodas retail for $8.99 for a four-pack and can be found at Target, Total Wine, Woodman’s, Festival Foods and Piggly Wiggly.

The beverage was created by Ben Weiss, who previously founded Bai Antioxidant Beverages. No surprise, then, that Crook & Marker Spiked Soda — made with proprietary organic BaseBrew —  is made from ancient grains including quinoa, millet, amaranth and cassava root. The drinks are sugar-free, caffeine-free, gluten-free, non-GMO and vegan. Each has less than one carb per can and are 4% ABV (alcohol by volume).
