"Each is thankfully clean and not sweet"
- American Distilling Institute
New Mill Valley-based, women-owned Local Motion is a line of vodka sodas without sugar, sweeteners or artificial additives. In addition to a classic vodka soda, there are four flavors, all subtle: peach, strawberry, pear, mixed citrus. Inspired by her husband’s unexpected diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes in 2022, founder Heather Wyatt (proprietor of Sunstream Brands) wanted to create a clean, sugar and additive-free RTD he could enjoy. Each is thankfully clean and not sweet, but being hard seltzer, all is a bit too subtle, tasting more like sparkling water with a hint of fruit.
