All Blacks Damian McKenzie, Anton Lienert-Brown and former All Black Stephen Donald have taken on the RTD market with the launch of Grins.
The first two flavours in the low-calorie, low-sugar and gluten-free range are tropical — vodka, pineapple, mango and soda — and the more classic vodka, lemon, lime and soda. The men are holding Instagram polls to help decide on the next flavours.
Donald tells Spy the three are great mates and one night were tossing the idea around.
"We woke up in the morning and checked it again with a little more clarity and decided we would give it a crack," Donald says. "It's probably been about six months but it has been an awesome experience and we have all learned a heck of a lot along the way."
