This summer, it seems that the popularity of spiked seltzer has sky-rocketed.
There are a few different choices to choose from. The two brands that seemed to have started it all are Truly and White Claw.

New year, same me. White Claw Hard Seltzer is still only 100 calories, still 5% ABV. pic.twitter.com/yxNZr7PTZW

The rising demand for hard seltzers like Truly and White Claw are likely because both drinks are low in calories and are 5% alcohol.
Other companies have taken notice of the hard seltzer trend and are trying their hand at it including:
Smirnoff (90 calories, 4.5% ABV)

Permanently 8% ABV. Much like that tattoo.

Well, one alcohol company has released a hard seltzer that puts all others to shame. Four Loko just announced on Twitter, “Hard Seltzers ran so we could fly.”
Their seltzer has an ABV of 14%, which is almost triple of what the competitors are!
