A delicious new type of alcoholic drink is sweeping Australia and it’s perfect for summer. We’ve rounded up the best of them.
It’s called hard seltzer. It’s basically boozy fizzy water and bottle shops are starting to fill up with a massive variety of fruity flavours.
Not only that, they’re better for you than almost all other types of booze. Most seltzers contain less than 100 calories, and are sugar and gluten-free. If you’re sceptical about alcoholic fruit water, and you have every right to be, then Somma is a good starting point for your voyage into the world of seltzer.
It comes in three flavours: Davidson Plum & Berry, Blood Orange & Grapefruit and Ginger & Lemon – so there’s a bit more variety to pick from.I have to admit they’re all pretty tasty but blood orange is the pick of the bunch.Unlike the previous two drinks that have a low alcohol content, Rainbird is one for a night on the town or when you’re having a few mates over at night.I’ve sampled the Lemon & Lime flavour which certainly has a bit of a punch to it.
