Two Canadians Tried 24 Spiked Seltzer Brands

Flavour: Smashed Soda Gin Strawberry Calories: 140

Kyle: I don’t taste the gin or the black pepper, and the strawberry tastes real. I like this. 13/10

Liza: I’m not a gin person, but this is soooooooo delicious! I can’t even taste the gin and it’s sweet like real strawberries. 8/10

Flavour: Vodka Smash Calories: 230

Kyle: This drink smashes — maybe it’s the mint? 11/10

Liza: This would be good to sip on while on a dock at Georgian Bay…which I plan on doing all summer. 8.5/10

Flavour: Triple Berry Vodka Soda 4% Calories: 80

Kyle: This smells good and tastes pretty great too. Not overly sweet or fake-tasting, which I dig. 11/10

Liza: And this drink definitely makes me feel more social. I love that this is a Canadian company! 8.5 /10

Flavour: BOLD Vodka Soda 6% Calories: 130

Kyle: Oh, I taste the alcohol…that must be the bold! I love that it’s 6%. 13/10

Liza: Do you think that’s why this one is called bold? It doesn’t taste like orange juice, that’s for sure. 8/10

Flavour: Gin Soda lime 5% Calories: 100

Kyle: For not being a gin lover, I would definitely drink this. 12/10

Liza: Definitely refreshing! I can taste that nice lime flavour. Plus, I love the branding of SoCIAL LITE. It just looks like a friendly drink. 9/10

Flavour: Rasberry Lemon Calories: 130

Kyle: The raspberry smell is nice, and I don’t taste the lemon very much. Not too bubbly, either. 12/10

Liza: I love the branding! It’s so simple. The taste is low-key and subtle. 8/10

Flavour: Mixed Berry Calories: 130

Kyle: Before this experiment, I would not pick up anything gin-based, but now I would! This drink is a good entry point to gin. 13/10

Liza: This is berry good! Not too sweet. 8/10

Calories: Unknown

Kyle: Holy **** 7%. Oh, that’s sweet! Too sweet for me. Not as spicy as what I would have made…but now that I’m drinking it more, it’s not bad. 10/10

Liza: I usually like Moscow mules, so I like this. I could start with this at the beginning of the night, but I don’t think I could drink it all night…it would get too sweet for me. 6/10

Flavour: Mango Calories: 140

Kyle: It doesn’t taste like real mango, but I prefer to eat a mango and not drink it. Still delicious though! 13/10

Liza: Let’s see what all this hype is about! Is Claw really the law? *sips* Ok, I get it it! Worth the hype. 8/10

Flavour: Black Cherry Calories: 140

Kyle: I love cherry anything, so I knew I would like this. Super delish, especially over ice. 17/10

Liza: This tastes like it would be way higher in calories. Maybe that’s part of the hype? 7.5/10

Flavour: Raspberry Calories: 100

Kyle: Oh, this one is pink! Smells like raspberry. 11/10

Liza: Can confirm the pinkness and raspberry scent. Oh, I love the slight raspberry sweetness of this. 8.5/10.

Flavour: Lemon Calories: 90

Kyle: Refreshing and light. A subtle lemon flavour. 13/10

Liza: I love the aesthetic of the cans because the colours are so eye-catching. And it’s way less sweet than other seltzers. 9/10

Calories: 130

Kyle: I’ve wanted to try drinking tequila and soda in a can, but it doesn’t have the same effect. It tastes like watered-down tequila. 9/10

Liza: I only like tequila as a shot or in a margarita, but this smells like a party and that makes me nervous! 6/10

Flavour: Ontario Peach Calories: 100

Kyle: This reminds me of childhood peach juice…but alcoholic. 15/10

Liza: I LOVE ONTARIO PEACHES! So, I love this. It has the perfect amount of sweetness 8.5/10

Flavour: Watermelon Calories: 100

Kyle: Let’s try this controversial flavor. I say controversial because it’s hard to re-create watermelon flavour without it tasting so artificial. 11/10

Liza: Watermelon sugar high…but in a can. I want to drink this on a cottage dock, please. 8/10

Flavour: Strawberry Kiwi Calories: 100

Kyle: Oh, that’s different…but I don’t mind it! Strawberry is the more dominant flavour. 14/10

Liza: I was nervous, but excited to try this because it’s vodka water, not vodka soda. It’s different (I was still half-expecting bubbles), but also so good!! 9/10

Flavour: Raspberry Lime Calories: 100

Kyle: Soda drinks make you feel burpy, but this is soooo smooth to drink. 15/10

Liza: Wow! I’m really liking these vodka waters, which is shocking. They taste like spa water, but with booze! 8.5/10

Calories: 180

Kyle: Mike’s was trash in my memory, but this is actually a pretty good lime vodka soda. It’s solid. I would never think to buy this, but now I would. I’m very impressed. 14/10

Liza: This reminds me of a vodka soda with lime that you would get at a club. 5/10

Calories: Unknown

Kyle: I love rum, and I don’t taste the rum here at all. I taste the lemonade. It’s really good, but it’s sweet…maybe that’s why there are no calories listed? 14/10

Liza: It’s fine, but I don’t love rum so… 5.5/10

Calories: Unknown

Kyle: The ingredients are water, alcohol, and sugar, and it tastes like that. 12/10

Liza: This smells like childhood iced tea, but with an alcoholic twist. It’s mysterious, because we don’t know the calories or the type of alcohol in it. 6/10

Flavours: Key Lime Cherry Calories: 130

Kyle: It smells like cherry-flavoured Coke. It tastes a little fake, but then again, it’s Palm Bay. 11/10

Liza: I was expecting this to be really sweet, so now my tastebuds are all confused. This new packaging is a win, though! 7/10

Calories: Unknown

Kyle: It’s blueberry flavoured and I thought it might taste fake, but it actually tastes like sweet iced tea. 13/10

Liza: I really like the branding of this, but it does taste really artificial to me. 5/10

Flavour: Coconut Lime Calories: 100

Kyle: It tastes like I’m on vacation, and I like being on vacation. 11/10

Liza: You put the lime in the coconut…and this is what you get! 7/10

Flavour: Cranberry And Blood Orange Calories: 100

Kyle: Oh, this tastes kind of juicy but in a good way. 12/10

Liza: This is refreshing. I taste the cranberry flavour more. 8/10
