Slivery straw color. Aromas and flavors of dusty lime zest, lemon zest, celery, and shitaki mushroom with a soft, bright, dry medium body and a polished, engaging, short finish imparting notes of lemon grass and jalapeño, moxa herb and kola nut, frankincense, and sage. A fun bitter, spicy, herbal concoction for on the go.

The Producer

Flavored Spirits-Based Hard Seltzer

A Flavored Spirits-Based Hard Seltzer is a conveniently packaged carbonated alcoholic beverage with fruit-forward flavors made with grain neutral sprits. 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.
