Seltzer is a catchall term for sparkling or fizzy water – so a ‘hard’ seltzer is simply carbonated water mixed with alcohol and fruit flavouring. But, unlike our US counterparts, us Brits aren’t quite connoisseurs of the booze-lite tipple just yet, so here are some of the top brands to sample. However, instead of yeast converting to glucose, [24] the fermentation process of Hard Seltzers consists of directly fermenting a sugar base. If it feels like easy drinking, that’s because it is: Gerry’s blends real fruit flavours, sparkling spring water and premium quality spirits, making everything in the UK. Mike’s Hard Seltzer is available now in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, and will be available in France frommid-May onwards.Nick Graham, co-founder of Berczy Hard Seltzers agrees: "Hard seltzers sit between the two [low/no and high ABV], attracting a wide demographic who still want to drink, but not in the same way they did before. This multi-pack contains three flavours: sparkling white tea mojitos, sparkling white tea light and stormy, and sparkling white tea margarita.

Not to be confused with cocktails in a can like a gin in a tin, the short answer is that hard seltzers are sparkling flavoured water. Two Dogs paved the way for similar commercial products such as Hooper's Hooch and Mike's Hard Lemonade. Affectionately known as Alfie and Peggy, The Uncommon’s English wine spritzers contain a lower ABV of 5. Seeing as we're all over flavoured gins and cocktail recipes in general, it's not often that we're surprised by new drink releases. Companies use these facts to their advantage, often stating the nutrition facts in easy-to-read and obvious places.Much like the boom of flavoured gins that propelled the spirit’s recent rise in popularity, hard seltzers come in a wide variety of fruity flavours and alcohol mixes, making the options endless and their appeal vast. Clocking in at 5% ABV, 100 calories, and 1 gram of sugar, the lemon flavor checked all my boxes when it came to hard seltzer: light, refreshing flavor; not too sweet or full of sugar; and a low enough ABV to not feel the effects the next day. With pastel packaging that will appeal to the Instagram set, Gerry’s offers low cal, gluten-free and vegan drinks in mouthwatering flavour combos like Watermelon + Mint - Vodka Seltzer, Cucumber + Lemon - Gin Seltzer, Pineapple + Coconut - Rum Seltzer, Passionfruit + Lime - Vodka Seltzer, Strawberry + Kiwi - Gin Seltzer, and Apple + Lime - Rum Seltzer. As people in the UK actively try to live healthier lives, they are looking for more options in the ready-to-drink space that deliver on taste but remain light and refreshing, relying on natural flavours. Personally, we just love the chic cans and the even chicer flavours – raspberry rosé and white citrus.

Each can is no more than 100cal, has 2g of sugar and includes real fruit flavour with 5 per cent ABV. With the increased demand of hard seltzers, it’s no surprise that cult American brands such as White Claw (who make up over half of US hard seltzer sales) are making their way onto British supermarket shelves, while established names like Smirnoff and Kopparberg have been quick to jump on the hard seltzer bandwagon and launch their own versions, too. All-natural, fruit-infused sparkling water spiked with alcohol, Long Shot is a Great Taste award winner. Notably the least sweet of the bunch, Molly said this one tasted like “making bad decisions in a basement,” which truly feels like the greatest description of any alcoholic drink ever.

The king and queen of hard seltzers after first rising to fame in the US, White Claw is available in four natural flavours of mango, raspberry, black cherry and natural lime. Offered in two flavours, Sundown which combines premium vodka with Persian Lime, Pineapple and a hint of Kaffir Lime Leaf, and Moonlight brings together strawberry, pomegranate with a murmur of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist, perfect for the colder winter season. Everyone loved the way this one smelled, but in terms of taste it was ranked last of the four flavors.

I suddenly remembered that carefree 21-year-old energy — the energy of someone who didn’t worry about saving for retirement and thought pandemics only existed in the past. Younger consumers are much more questioning about what they’re putting into their bodies, seeing greater demand for ancillary benefits, like being vegan or gluten-free. The last time I reached for a Mike’s Hard Lemonade, I had just recently turned 21 and was still in the phase of my life where I wanted my alcohol sweet and easy to drink quickly. At 95 calories per 330ml, White Claw is famous in the US and an easy sell for anyone watching their waistline this summer. Pairing fruit flavours with exotic superfoods like açaí, Bodega Bay brings a little welcome twist to the hard seltzer party.

Admittedly, this was in a very dangerous “doesn’t really taste alcoholic” way, so do with that information what you will. Available in White Citrus, Raspberry Rose and latest launch, Mango Passion, DRTY's three flavours are 4% ABV, less than 90 calories a can, zero carbs and zero sugar: Essentially tastes like vodka soda but better. We want to be a company that brings all people, not just “beer people”, together and hard seltzers are an integral part of this.
