Hard seltzers are refreshing, come in a variety of flavors, and are super easy to drink. But if you’re anything like us, you go to the liquor store and experience the paradox of choice. There are so many hard seltzer brands that make so many flavors. Should you get White Claw or Truly? Cherry or Lime? Why does hard seltzer have to be so… hard?

We did the work for you by rounding up some of the most popular hard seltzer brands and some newcomers. After an extremely scientific taste-test of 15 brands and over 60 flavors, our team of experts ranked them all from worst to best. So next time you need to pick up a variety pack for your next party, check out our picks below.

Looking for more beverage recs? These are the best canned cocktails, tequila brands, and our favorite wine you can find at Costco.

My fave is/was Mike’s HARDER lemonade. Had a slightly higher proof than regular Mike’s, but can’t find it anymore. Bummer. It made awesome Arnold Palmer’s when added to Arizona sweet tea.

Have you tried cans of Steel Reserve fortified malt liquor, the alloy series of fruit flavors? Wonderful, and 8% alcohol in a 24 oz can with an attractive price-point of 2$ or less.
Many flavors.
From the Steel brewing company, with the medieval symbol for steel on the can as logo.

I would encourage everyone to try a similar item called Mom Water. This is a vodka infused drink like the hard seltzer but it has no carbonation. Comes in many flavors and they are each named after a person. For instance, Karen, is a really popular item. They also have a Dad Water that is fairly new and it’s infused with tequila - also without carbonation.

It’s not available everywhere but currently in about 25 states.

Ditto. I get the “zero sugar” version for my wife, but I end up being the one to drink most of them. :-)

White Claw, definitely. That Truly stuff tastes like cough syrup to me.

My husband does too.

I’m not much of a fan of spirits; but I might like some of these if they weren’t so ‘thin’.

Never heard of hard seltzer but I think I'm more of a hard cider kind of guy.

I'd like to try that alcoholic chicken sometime.

Not a seltzer but vodka-based.

This is Sons Of Liberty Loyal 9 Lemonade, made from real lemons and packs quite a punch at 9% alcohol.

This stuff goes down easy on a hot day but beware, the alcohol content will sneak up on you fast.

It’s actually pretty good. Very simple, not complex at all. But when very cold, it’s quite refreshing.

This entire thread is for people that want alcohol, but don’t like alcohol. Not a bourbon drinker in the house I would wager. Hard seltzers are the work of the devil. Awful!
