The ready-to-drink cooler has become a place of familiar choices: citrus hard seltzers, fruit-flavored vodka sodas, and cans promising the taste of a mixed cocktail. Most bring something else to the first sip, too: carbonation. For someone who likes vodka and fruit flavors but prefers a drink without fizz, that shared feature can make an otherwise varied selection feel surprisingly similar.

Aura Vodka offers a different approach with three still, ready-to-drink vodka cocktails made with distilled vodka, alkaline water, and natural flavors. Cucumber Lime, Coconut Pineapple, and Mango Peach all come in 355 mL cans at 5% alcohol by volume (ABV), but their appeal begins with something the cans leave out: bubbles.

What Makes a Still Vodka Cocktail Different?

Hard seltzer describes a sparkling alcoholic drink, although the alcohol underneath the carbonation can vary from one brand to another. Some use fermented bases, while others are spirit-based; a vodka soda, more specifically, combines vodka with carbonated water. A still vodka water keeps the vodka-and-water combination but uses water without carbonation.
