MADISON - Carbliss is a ready-to-drink, low ABV canned vodka cocktail, available in black raspberry, cranberry, lemonade and lemon lime flavors, and it made its debut in Madison, WI in 2019. The idea for their canned cocktail - which is only 100 calories a can and 5 percent ABV - came when they were visiting friends in Elkhart Lake, WI, and they tried a hard seltzer at their friends’ urging.

Miranda quit her job to pursue her dream...
