Hazy slivery straw color. Aromas and flavors of lime candies, hints of honeycomb, and mango with a supple, crisp, fruity sweet light-to-medium body and an effortless, breezy finish that exhibits notes of lime sherbet, sweet pear, pez candies, and grapefruit zest. A fizzy, easy drinking cocktail-like seltzer with creamy lime flavors.

Fruit-Flavored Hard Seltzer

Fruit-Flavored Hard Seltzer is a conveniently packaged carbonated alcoholic beverage with fruit-forward flavors, often made as a malt beverage. These bubbly waters are typically flavored with artificial sweeteners like stevia, aspartame, and sucralose to make them sweet, although some producers use real fruit juice. The ABV is generally low (around 5%), and the calorie content is as well. They are usually gluten free, and are marketed as a healthier alternative to other alcoholic drinks.
