Peaceminusone Highball reimagines the classic highball through a refined, wine-based approach.

Available in 500ml cans with 4.5% ABV, the US launch features two signature flavors:
Classic Highball - A lemon-flavored, white wine-based highball delivering crisp and clean notes of white wine and soda.
Red Highball - A fruit-forward, red wine-based highball with subtle sweetness and aromatic depth, offering a smooth, modern take on the classic cocktail.
