A: I absolutely HATE the name, I think it doesnt relate to the product at all and has poor recognition. Yeah I get that people love to drink and maybe its just my personal bias but. Summer House stars Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, and Carl Radke are all involved in this brand of canned sparkling hard teas and cocktails. Granted, most things do, but that’s a good place to start. You may know Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula from their Hamptons hit, Summer House (Bravo TV), but IRL they’re just like us. The hard seltzer/canned cocktail/low cal alcohol boozy business is estimated to be a 2.1B market by 2021. Those are hard seltzer numbers but it’s got noticeably more flavor than a White Claw. That said, it’s a solid entry onto the hard tea landscape, particularly at 90 calories per can. Find a Solo cup and pour this one if you’ve got the opportunity it does seem to make a difference. But it’s still sharp and refreshing, hitting with a crispness that other hard teas fail to crack.ĭrinking from the can magnifies that acid with a little metallic taste and makes things a little bit worse. That lemon juice and carbonation snap off the flavor instead of letting that tea mellow on your tongue for a while. It tastes a little more acidic than you’d like for an Arnold Palmer. It smells like southern sweet tea, which is to say, absolutely great. Carbonated like a seltzer, but with the light refreshing taste of an iced tea, Loverboy marries organic brewed tea, botanicals and monk fruit with gluten-free alcohol to create a keto-friendly, 4.2 percent alcohol-by-volume progressive. A light fizz floats up after you crack the can and it bubbles up with a noticeable, but quickly dissipating head when poured into an ice-filled glass. After setting the internet abuzz last week, Dunkin’ will officially announce Monday the debut of Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Coffees and Iced Teas, which are both scheduled to roll out in the coming. With just 90 calories and zero sugar, Loverboy is a naturally sweetened sparkling hard tea. Well, since we were already talking about Arnold Palmers this feels like a proper place to start. So did it pan out? Or are we going to regret trying to make hard tea a thing again? There is a floral flavor note that makes it taste like you are drinking a vase that has had flowers sitting in it for a week. ![]() We couldnt get through one before tossing the rest. We live in Mass and saw Loverboy at Total Wine last week and bought a six pack of the Peach flavor. ![]() Advertising an all organic recipe list, sweetened with monk fruit, means its taking a more upscale approach to the concept. My wife and I drink a fairly wide variety of seltzers. At 90 calories per can it’s clear they’re pushing up against the hard seltzer marketplace. Loverboy isn’t quite coming after Twisted Tea. Today we’re on to our third entry of the summer - Loverboy’s low calorie, slim can offerings. Other times it’s been a bit of a mess, like how Jiant made a bunch of tea that tastes like white wine, somehow. Sometime it’s worked well in a common sense mashup - see Arnold Palmer Spiked Half & Half’s debut back in April. Several new contenders have come after the shoddy throne upon which Twisted Tea proudly sits and watches monster truck rallies. The summer of 2023 has been the backdrop to a hard tea revival. Here, we mostly chronicle and review beers, but happily expand that scope to any beverage that pairs well with sports. It frequently sells out, but their Guava and Raspberry spritzers are also sure to please.īuy Usual Wines Yuzu Spritz $24 12.Welcome back to FTW’s Beverage of the Week series. ![]() The thing that helps set apart Loverboy from most other alcoholic beverages is the roundabout. The yuzu adds a kind of tang more unique than grapefruit or other citrus flavors normally added to spritzers, which makes it stand out like the cool cousin of canned cocktails. Loverboy is made to be a healthier alcoholic drink option. A little crisp, a little fruity, everything is rounded out by the quality of Usual’s wine, which is made using sustainably farmed grapes with minimal intervention. Made using Usual Wines’ brut sparkling wine (the same offered in one of our favorite wine deliveries) and first press Japanese Yuzu juice, we love that the clean, simple ingredients lend themselves so something craveable, you might not be able to drink just one can. It doesn’t have any alcohol in it, but it’s still a delicious drink. Then you add in a bottle of rum, a splash of orange juice, and some strawberries. The first step is to mix together a bit of sugar and fresh lime juice. There’s nothing ‘Usual’ about this wine spritzer - Yuzu Spritz’s modernized take on boring spritzers makes it great for sipping when you want to feel a little classy, like while viewing outdoor art installations. It’s basically a fruity cocktail that has been mixed with a bit of vanilla vodka.
