10 Torr Distilling Brings Back Spiced Apple Canned Cocktail

10 Torr Distilling & Brewing will mark the seasonal return of its Spiced Apple canned cocktail with a release party on Thursday, September 10, 2026. The event will take place at the company’s tasting room in Reno, Nevada, starting at 6 p.m.

The release coincides with International Canned Cocktail Day. It offers guests an early taste of fall.

Spiced Apple is made with apple juice sourced directly from the Placerville region of California. The drink is refined using 10 Torr’s signature vacuum-distillation process. That process operates at approximately 10 Torr of atmospheric pressure. According to the company, this technique preserves fresh flavor and aroma.

The seasonal cocktail has historically sold out. Its return comes as 10 Torr continues to expand its lineup of Nevada-made canned cocktails.

The release party will feature the first pours and cans of the newly released Spiced Apple. Guests will be able to sample the seasonal drink alongside other fall-themed cocktails.

A food truck will operate at the event. Team members from 10 Torr will be available to discuss the beverage, its Placerville-sourced apple juice and the company’s vacuum-distillation process.

READ THE STORY

The party will be held at 10 Torr Distilling & Brewing, located at 490 Mill Street in Reno.

Vacuum distillation, sometimes called low-temperature or cold distillation, allows spirits producers to distill at lower temperatures by reducing atmospheric pressure. The method is used by a small number of craft distillers who aim to retain delicate botanical and fruit character that can be lost during conventional heat-based distillation.

Reno has emerged as a growing hub for craft beverage production in the western United States. The city sits near the California border, giving local producers access to fruit-growing regions such as Placerville, an area historically known for its apple orchards.

Canned cocktails remain one of the fastest-growing categories in the ready-to-drink (RTD) sector. The segment has attracted both major spirits companies and independent distillers seeking to meet consumer demand for convenient, premium-quality drinks.

10 Torr’s Spiced Apple release adds a seasonal offering to that expanding market. The company continues to position its canned cocktails as a showcase for its distillation technology.
