The Best Hard Seltzers to Sip on When You Want a Bubbly Buzz
I can hear the “pssssssst” of the tab cracking now….
There are two types of people in this world: those who will choose spiked seltzers over every other drink at any given time, and those who swear they taste disgusting. No matter which group you belong to, I'm glad you're here. Because I've got news for you: there's a hard seltzer for everyone. I really believe that. Haters, I urge you to read on.
Let me start by saying not all hard seltzers are made equal. Case in point: some use vodka, while others use malt alcohol (and some even use tequila). Some use real fruit juice, while others use artificial flavorings. And some have super unique flavors, while others stick to the classic lime and black cherry. There's no good or bad, right or wrong—it's just about what you, personally, have a taste for. And lucky for you, I gathered up 11 of the best brands on the market, so you can find the can that suits ya best.
Best hard seltzers for 2023:
Now, I don't want to put any pressure on you, but summer—aka hard seltzer season—is coming up quick, so you should probably find your spiked seltzer of choice, like, yesterday. You're gonna need it for the beach, trust. Scroll down to get a deep dive on each one, and get ready to hit the liquor store. Last one to the cooler is a rotten egg!
