The world of sparkling cocktails and seltzers is a screaming hot one. These drinks have been around for a few years now, and there’s zero turning back, it would seem. People everywhere have absolutely fallen in love with a canned adult beverage that doesn’t have to be beer, tastes incredible, comes in a variety of flavors, and — more often than not — has fewer calories than other boozy options. Yes, canned cocktails and hard fizzy seltzers are here to stay, like it or not. The problem now, though, is that with nearly every single alcohol brand jumping on the bandwagon, the market is more than saturated with choices. And while it’s good to have options, the sheer amount of hard seltzers and sparking cocktails in the liquor aisle can make your head spin well before you’ve even cracked a can. So we’re here to help spotlight one of the best ones on the market.

Spritz Society is a canned cocktail brand that uses natural ingredients to create delicious adult beverages that are both pure in taste and in integrity. Spritz Society boasts on its website, “We make our cocktails as delicious as possible. Because taste matters. Our ingredients naturally work together to create flavors we’re proud of.”

And those ingredients are simple. Their (exquisite) Grapefruit flavor, for example, contains only sparkling water, white wine, natural flavors, cane sugar, and citric acid. In addition to that goodness, each sparkling cocktail has a 100 percent white wine base, unlike so many other Seltzer brands that use malt liquor, a fermented malt alcohol base.

This simplicity of flavor and purity of ingredients comes across beautifully in each of the brand’s fruity flavors, including Blood Orange, Peach, Grapefruit, Pineapple, and Lemon. Of these flavors, every single one is true to itself without a hint of artificial flavor.

Reminiscent of a real white wine spritzer one might be served at a garden party, there isn’t a trace of the chemical harshness found in other brands. Easily (dangerously) drinkable, these cocktails are smooth and have just the perfect amount of fizz that won’t fall flat. Refreshingly blending the perfect mixture of sweetness and tart, each flavor tastes exactly as its name suggests, with effervescent bubbles releasing hints of fruit and wine with each burst.

And while the price point might be slightly higher than its more chemical-filled, stale-tasting competitors, the extra few dollars will be well spent for a flavor and experience that is truly beyond comparison to other drinks in the same lane. Conveniently, Spritz Society’s subscription service does offer a considerable discount with exclusive subscriber perks, so you will never have to be more than an arm’s reach away from one of these delicious drinks.

Celebrate the start of summer with a new 20-year-old straight rye whiskey from Bulleit

While bourbon is referred to as America’s “native spirit”, rye whiskey actually has a longer historical footprint in the US. While bourbon didn’t get its start until the late 1700s, rye whiskey was popular decades prior. So, it only makes sense that in celebration of the United States’ 250th birthday, Bulleit would release its oldest rye whiskey ever: Bulleit 20-Year-Old Rye.

Summer is the perfect time for tequila-based cocktails. On a hot day, you can’t go wrong with a Paloma, Margarita, or any other tequila-centric drink. And while classic Blanco or reposado tequila works well as a base, the folks at Cazadores just launched potentially the best tequila for summer mixing: Cazadores Pineapple Infused Tequila.

Blended Scotch whiskies you’ll want to drink neat
These blended Scotch whiskies are too good to be used solely as mixers
Dewar's 15

If you’re a Scotch whisky drinker, I know you have at least a few bottles of blended Scotch whisky that you would never drink neat or on the rocks. Perhaps you were given a bottle, or you just bought one because of a flashy label, only to realize it was fairly unpalatable on its own, best mixed with soda or other ingredients. But, if you limit your whisky collection to blended Scotch whiskies that you’d never want to drink neat, you’re missing out on some outstanding expressions just waiting to be discovered.

I was once like this. When I first started writing about alcohol, I didn’t know much about Scotch whisky, and my only experience with blended Scotch was a less-than-stellar expression that came in an easy-to-grab plastic bottle. It wasn’t the type of whisky I was going to want to crack open when my friends or family members stopped by.
