Cottage Springs Beverage Co.
European-owned · made in Canada · based in Ontario
Toronto ready-to-drink brand of vodka sodas, vodka waters, lemonades, iced teas and tequila sodas, launched in 2018 and sold through liquor boards and grocers in every province.
Toronto, ON CA · www.cottagesprings.ca
Cottage Springs is the flagship ready-to-drink brand of Ace Beverage Group Inc. of Toronto, launched in 2018 and now sold through every provincial liquor board and Ontario grocers. Since 2023 Ace has been controlled by Corby Spirit and Wine Limited, a TSX-listed Toronto company that Pernod Ricard of France controls with a majority of the voting shares, so a large share of the profit leaves Canada for the EU. The drinks are registered as made in Ontario, and the merch-only online store means the product itself is bought through retailers.
Factors
Ownership
72.5 reportedCA 45% · EU 55%
The site's terms name Ace Beverage Group Inc., a federal corporation with its registered office at 140 Geary Avenue, Toronto, which Corporations Canada records as exempt from the significant-control register because it is a subsidiary of a reporting issuer. Corby Spirit and Wine Limited says it holds 95 percent of Ace Beverage Holdco Inc. after exercising a call option in October 2025, with the remaining 5 percent held by the other shareholders under the 2023 agreement, and Wikipedia reports Pernod Ricard owning about 46 percent of Corby's equity and 51 percent of its votes with the rest trading on the TSX. The split is my estimate weighting the French controlling shareholder over the Canadian float and founders; Corby's own filings on SEDAR+ could not be reached to confirm the current stake.

Ontario Made lists the vodka sodas and vodka waters as made in Ontario by Iconic Brewing Co., the Bathurst Street, Toronto entity behind Ace Beverage Group's brands, and the vendor says its malt-based versions are sold only in Quebec and at the Beer Store. The vendor's own site does not name a production facility or co-packer, so the Ontario claim rests on the directory registration.

The vendor does not say where its vodka, tequila, gin, tea, flavourings or cans come from. The estimate assumes Canadian-distilled neutral spirit and Ontario production inputs for the vodka lines, Mexican tequila for the tequila sodas, and aluminum cans and flavour concentrates that are partly North American imports.
