Houseboat season is just around the corner, and as locals and visitors across Salmon Arm get ready for long sunny days full of warm weather, fishing, and plenty of time on the water, finding the perfect summer beverage is the only thing missing!
If you’re looking for something a little lighter but definitely not short on taste or bubbles this season, spiked or “hard” seltzers have quickly become a fan favourite for hot weather, and with several new brands joining industry leaders like Whiteclaw and Nuude on the market, there’s no shortage of options to choose from.
Below, we’ll take a quick look at some of the main things to know about hard seltzers and a few FAQs to keep in mind when shopping. Read on to learn more!
What Are Hard Seltzers
Hard seltzers are, essentially, exactly as the name suggests, sparkling seltzer water combined with natural flavours and alcohol. Seltzers aren’t too far removed from the age-old staple of the “vodka soda” or “Gin and tonic”, but can have a slightly lighter kick and are less sweet in comparison to other coolers or cocktails.
Hard seltzers have become incredibly popular over the past few years, and while there used to only be a few tasty options on hand, shoppers now have lots of variety to choose from. With different sugar levels, flavour profiles, and more, finding the right bubbly drink for summer can be a harder task than you might think thanks to your wide selection.
What’s All the Buzz About?
Hard seltzers aren’t just appealing thanks to the fact that they’re a little ‘smoother’ to drink than other beverages that can be sweeter or a little more forward with their flavours. In addition to being lower carb and lower calorie than most other coolers, seltzers are also generally quite affordable compared to other mixed drinks, running around the same price as standard craft beers or a decent (but budget friendly) wine.
Seltzers also range in ABV giving you some harder and lighter drinking options depending on what you’re looking for, and can easily be dressed up or down as base for cocktails or stand alone beverage. Great for BBQs, a day at the lake, watching the game, and all responsible activities in between, hard seltzer are often the refreshing cherry on top of the perfect day!
