Product Information

Still, with most of these hard seltzers being low calories and containing very few grams of carbs, they’re still a great choice for a low-carb diet. Great with: lunch, brunch or evening meal. This refreshment bomb is as versatile as it is delicious. Also great as a mezcal or tequila mixer. Alcoholic seltzers are all the rage this summer, but are any of them any good? The dedicated beverage enthusiasts of The Spinoff took it upon themselves to find out. French Sauvignon Blanc (34.6%), Carbonated Water, Concentrated Grape Juice, Concentrated Lemon Juice, Cucumber Extract (0.2%), Natural Flavourings.

Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit. It tastes like the sound a band would make if their members were a tangerine, grapefruit and a lemon…and you could actually taste sound.

I had the original idea in mid-2018. At the time, Crazy Rich Asians was the number one film at the box office, Korean pop was hitting a fever pitch, and the influence of Asian food and culture was really starting to make its mark on American culture,” Sandro Roco, the creator and founder of emerging sparkling water brand, Sanzo, relayed. “But when I walked the beverage aisles at both markets like Whole Foods and H-Mart, I didn’t feel there was anything properly capturing this shift in culture.” If you’ve got this far and are wondering what the hell I’m talking about, here’s a precis: seltzer is basically what Americans call soda water. A couple of years ago someone over there decided to make boozy, lightly flavoured soda water and put it in cans, and people went nuts for it, particularly the White Claw brand – so much so that summer 2019 in the US was dubbed White Claw summer . There were memes. There was a shortage. Ah, pre-Covid life. Simple Syrup: the simple syrup will balance out the tartness from the lemon and yuzu citrus. You can either buy simple syrup at the store or make it at home! To make simple syrup all you need to do is boil a 1:1 ratio of sugar to water (ie. 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water) until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to chill before using. All our Premium Sodas contain grape juice and lemon juice to give balance and a full flavour. Our Premium Sodas are naturally low in calories - under 41 calories per can (11oz).

Anyway, as New Zealand is now experiencing its very own seltzer summer, The Spinoff decided to review and rank as many as we could find. That ended up being 36 different flavours, from 10 or so brands (we did it over three sessions on three consecutive days). It’s not all the seltzers available in New Zealand, but damn near. The tasting set-up (Photo: Lucy Reymer) So Roco decided to make his own seltzer. Roco, who is a Queens-born Filipino-American, settled on three flavors for his initial launch: lychee, mango, and calamansi. “What ultimately inspired me to pursue Sanzo is that I felt the brand, through an accessible medium like sparkling water, could serve as a bridge among cultures,” he shared. “Just maybe, seeing our beverage on the main shelves of major grocery retailers—not just the ethnic aisle—can help push the conversation around food, drink and culture just a smidge forward.”Whether or not a hard seltzer is “healthy” depends entirely on your definition of the word. Maybe zero carbs is the most important factor to you, or maybe it’s the fact that a drink uses natural flavors and no artificial sweeteners. Every gram of alcohol contains 7 calories, which is why your drink will always have calories even if all of the other macros are listed as 0 grams. Whether you want to stave off thirst for forever or refresh your way through all our sodas, here’s what you need to know:

The method above works for pure alcohol or vodka sodas, but it won’t be the exact same strategy for dry wines, hard cider, or mixed drinks made with mixers containing extra calories. This pale, dry French Rosé from the Côtes de Gascogne perfectly complements the botanical, tart yet refreshing flavour of our Hibiscus & Rose Premium Soda. Something & Nothing, a premium drinks brand which quenches the palate and mind of the curious modern consumer. Our seltzers were created for those people looking for a new type of soft drink; a lightly carbonated beverage which doesn't sacrifice taste to be low calorie, is made only from natural ingredients and is significantly lower in sugar than traditional soft drinks.

Lunar Hard Seltzer Lychee– This is the brightest flavor of the three offerings, owing to the punchier sweetness of Thai lychee fruit itself, and still maintaining a balanced sweetness of the accentuated fruit as opposed to being overtaken by added sweeteners. The maltiness again is more pronounced here than the Plum expression. This again is very drinkable, with an alcohol level that is almost forgettable. 4.5% abv.

I'm Brazilian by heritage, but I see myself as more of a citizen of the universe. I LOVE travelling, I've wondered all over the world and beyond. It was on my travels, actually, that I discovered my life's obsession. The yuzu. Lemon Juice: for the freshest flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. I prefer to use meyer lemon because they have a subtly sweeter flavor but you can use any lemons you want.Yuzu Juice: if you have access to fresh yuzu in your area that is always best. However, if you can’t find fresh yuzu, you can buy yuzu juice in bottles at your local Japanese grocery market.

Every seltzer was tasted blind by a rotating panel of between five and nine Spinoffers, from seasoned seltzer consumers to first-timers, with the tasting expertly conducted by office manager Lucy Reymer. Each taster gave each seltzer a mark out of 10, which were averaged out to calculate the final scores (sorry about the decimal points, we’re a precise bunch). Method: Pour the blueberry puree in the glass and fill with crushed ice. In a shaker, combine cocoa butter-washed tequila, Velvet Falernum, lime juice, and three dashes of yuzu juice and shake. Strain over crushed ice and garnish with micro shiso if available. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit.
