Each can contains 95 calories and zero grams of sugar.
A four-pack costs $9.99 (£8.44).
Ilene Bergenfeld, CMO of Harvest Hill, said the launch of the alcoholic drink was created per fans’ requests.
She said: “So, we looked at the hard seltzer category, and thought, good, but we can do better. And SunnyD Vodka Seltzer was born.”

History of SunnyD
The orange drink was originally developed by Doric Foods in 1963 in Florida, US.
Sundor Brands bought out Doric Foods, before Procter & Gamble purchased the company in 1989.
It was then spun off into the independent Sunny Delight Beverages Company (SDBC) in 2005.
The beverage was launched in the UK in 1998.
It became the third biggest selling drink, behind Coca-Cola and Pepsi, by 1999.
Today the beverage is distributed by Dr Pepper/Seven Up in the US and Saputo in Canada.
