Does hard seltzer have malt liquor?
HARD SELTZER – WHAT IS HARD SELTZER?
Compliance Corner Hard Seltzer
Hard seltzers are all the rage, promising low calories, low carbs, zero sugar and offering 5% or more alcohol by volume. Hard seltzer is a clear, bubbly, lightly flavored alcoholic beverage which consumers are craving. According to Nielsen, in 2018, hard seltzer sales were a mere $210 million and in 2019, sales sky rocketed to $1.2 billion with no signs of slowing.
This year is on pace to crush the 2019 hard seltzer category sales total. Breweries such as Bear Chase Brewing Company in Bluemont, VA and Bold Rock Hard Cider in Nellysford, VA (a winery) has joined in on the hard seltzer craze. As of July 2020, there were over 130 different hard seltzers registered in Virginia.
Generally speaking, the Federal TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau), Alcoholic Beverage Control Agencies and FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) all regulate hard seltzer products. Hard seltzer is mainly produced from either a brewed sugar base or a brewed clear malt base.
Depending on which is used determines the federal labeling and adverting requirements. Under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, “IRC” for short, code 27 CFR Part 7, A malt based hard seltzer is considered a malt beverage which is subject to TTB Labeling and advertising regulations, while a sugar based hard seltzer is considered “beer” and is NOT subject to TTB COLA (Certificate of Label Approval) and advertising requirements.
What is a COLA you ask? A COLA (Certificate of Label Approval) is the approval of the physical label on a can, bottle, box, keg or other container holding an alcohol beverage at the federal level. There are various requirements such as the Surgeon General warning statement, city and state of manufacturer/bottler, and beverage class to name a few.
A TTB COLA is required when the alcoholic beverage product will be sold across state lines. A brewery must obtain a COLA approval on malt beverages before they can sell outside of Virginia. The COLA approval process is required to ensure that wineries, breweries, distilleries and importers comply with federal regulations when designing labels and marketing their alcoholic beverages.
What exactly does this mean for your brewery? If hard seltzer is produced using a clear malt base, TTB COLA and advertising rules apply. A majority of hard seltzer manufactured by breweries are produced using a fermented sugar base with no malt derivatives.
- When a sugar base is used, the product is no longer considered a malt beverage but a beer.
- In this case, the brewery is not required to obtain a TTB COLA to sell over state lines and advertising the product is not as restrictive.
- However, this means that the sugar based hard seltzer would now be subject to FDA’s labeling regulations, 21 CFR Part 101.
Yes, you heard that right. Your sugar based hard seltzer now falls under FDA labeling regulations and not TTB’s labeling and advertising regulations found in 27 CFR Part 7. Yikes! Now that your hard seltzer falls under FDA labeling guidelines, things get a little sticky for brewers who are not familiar.
- Unlike the TTB, the FDA does not require pre-market approval of food and hard seltzer product labels.
- Your new FDA label will require a Nutrition Facts Label and statement of ingredients.
- If you do not have experience with FDA labeling, it’s highly recommended to hire a professional.
- One final consideration, if you’re adding flavor or color to any hard seltzer, which most brewers do, you are now required to obtain a TTB formula approval per 27 CFR part 25.
Even if you only sell the hard cider product in your tasting room, you must obtain a TTB formula approval. Disclaimer: Before you take any action based on this article please consult with an expert or regulatory official. Regulations and interpretations at the federal and state level are subject to change at any time.
Why is Topo Chico seltzer so good?
Call me a millennial cliché — but I love sparkling water. In fact, it’s largely replaced caffeine for me, its delightful effervescence rousing me from my afternoon slump, all while keeping me hydrated. For the longest time, La Croix was my go-to, although every now and then I’d dip into Bubly or Waterloo.
Now, I’m afraid I’ll have to break up with all three of them for Topo Chico, I tried Topo Chico for the first time in Austin a few years ago, then went without it until last week, when I had it during a trip to Charleston — and wondered how I had survived its absence for so long. The naturally carbonated water has a softer mouthfeel than other sparkling waters, bathing the tongue in a gentle fizz, rather than imparting it with a crisp bite, a la La Croix.
And while I find most mineral waters too salty, Topo Chico has a nice, subtle salinity, laced with a hint of citrus. Other Topo Chico stans agree. “It’s got more flavor, balance, and sparkle than other sparkling waters,” Jack Gilmore, a chef and restaurant owner in Austin, Texas, told Garden & Gun.
- I probably drink three or four a day.” “This is officially the fizz water that all other fizz waters should aspire to,” raved Los Angeles Magazine, which ranked the drink number one in its recent list of top brands of sparkling water,
- But why do so many people swear by Topo Chico? Is it the bubbles? The mineral content? Before we unravel this enigma, some history: Like LaCroix, a favorite of Midwestern moms in the 90s, Topo Chico isn’t new.
In fact, it’s really old, drawn from a limestone spring in Monterrey, Mexico since 1895, per Bloomberg Businessweek, Although it’s naturally carbonated, it gets an added touch of bubbliness to compensate for any lost from purification, the New York Times explains.
Lore has it that the spring that supplies Topo Chico has special healing properties, but the brand claims only that its water can help with thirst, digestion, and hangovers, For a while, you could find Topo Chico mostly in northern Mexico and Texas (especially hipster bastion Austin) until Coca-Cola acquired it in 2017 and brought it to the rest of the US, Bloomberg reports.
The purchase of a source of regional pride by the beverage behemoth — which basically boosted the drink’s price — didn’t go over well with Texans, per VICE, Tim Murphy, owner of Austin dive bar The Grackle, went so far as to post an Instagram video of himself hurling a bottle of Topo Chico against the outside wall of his establishment.
- Now that the rest of us no longer have to wait until our next visit to Texas or other southern states to sip on Topo Chico, the drink’s fandom appears to be growing, with several media outlets musing about what makes it so damn good.
- With taste being so subjective, and without knowing Topo Chico’s exact processing protocol (likely proprietary information), a definitive scientific explanation has remained elusive.
But the experts I interviewed proposed a few hypotheses. Bloomberg/Bloomberg/Getty Images Lower carbon dioxide levels may have something to do with the drink’s pleasant mouthfeel, according to Paul Wise, a sensory scientist at Monell Chemical Senses Center.
Contrary to popular belief, “the sting from carbonation doesn’t come from bubbles,” he tells Mic. Carbon dioxide, released as bubbles, diffuses into the tongue, where it reacts with enzymes to form what’s called carbonic acid. A class of proteins within the sensory nerve endings of the tongue detects this acidification — that’s what causes the biting sensation, not the bubbles.
As it turns out, these proteins are also why wasabi and cinnamon sting, Wise says. Lower carbon dioxide levels may have something to do with the drink’s pleasant mouthfeel If Topo Chico does contain less carbon dioxide than other sparkling waters (which may be due to being bottled at a lower pressure), then that would translate to less acidification detected by the specialized proteins in the tongue’s sensory nerve endings.
- That could explain why it feels softer,” as well as more balanced, Wise says.
- As for why Topo Chico tastes less earthy than other mineral waters, it may very well be because it contains fewer minerals.
- A serving has 15 milligrams of sodium, “which is on the lower side,” says Alissa Nolden, an assistant professor of food science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Sometimes, we perceive sodium as not only salty, but bitter. As a result, “that lower sodium amount could be more pleasant.” Nolden adds that Topo Chico also has less calcium than popular mineral water brand Perrier (whose flavor I personally find too mineral-y).
An influx of calcium, which is already stored in our taste cells, relays taste signals, Nolden explains. Whether the calcium in foods and beverages also plays a role in that signaling remains unclear, but if so, then the relatively lower calcium levels in Topo Chico may result in a reduced taste signal, which could help explain its subtle flavor.
Amid the lingering scientific questions, though, one thing is certain: Topo Chico is liquefied heaven, and my taste buds, and life in general, are the better for it. This article was originally published on 12.23.2019
Does White Claw use vodka?
White Claw® Creates a Way to Make Smoother Vodka: Introducing New White Claw™ Premium Vodka, the World’s First Triple Wave Filtered™ Vodka White Claw capitalizes on decades of disruption and innovation in drinks to offer a new generation of drinkers the most distinctive American vodka in 25 years CHICAGO, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – ®, the creator of the nation’s number one-selling hard seltzer, today announces the launch of new White Claw™ Premium Vodka, the world’s first Triple Wave Filtered™ vodka.
The first-of-its-kind filtration process uses tremendous pressure equal to three 30-foot waves to create a vodka with distinctive taste, aroma, and smoothness. White Claw launches White Claw Premium Vodka, the world’s first Triple Wave Filtered™ vodka. The first-of-its-kind filtration process uses tremendous pressure equal to three 30-foot waves to create a vodka with distinctive aroma, taste, and smoothness.
White Claw launches White Claw Premium Vodka, the world’s first Triple Wave Filtered™ vodka. The first-of-its-kind filtration process uses tremendous pressure equal to three 30-foot waves to create a vodka with distinctive aroma, taste, and smoothness.
White Claw launches its new ready-to-drink White Claw Vodka + Soda, because better vodka makes for a better vodka + soda. Made with the same Triple Wave Filtered White Claw Premium Vodka that is in the bottles, the new 100-calorie canned cocktail is available in White Claw Vodka + Soda Pineapple, Peach, Wild Cherry, and Watermelon varieties.
White Claw Premium Vodka takes advantage of a change in regulations that for years made vodka tasteless by law in America. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Board (TTB) required the spirit to be “without distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color,” so American vodka was engineered to be the same, neutral at best.
- In 2020, regulators changed the rules to allow for distinction.
- After years of work creating a remarkable filtration technology, White Claw is ushering in a new era in American vodka.
- We believe that quality vodka shouldn’t be defined by what it lacks, and we seized the enormous opportunity to create a distinctive spirit,” said Anthony von Mandl, O.C., O.B.C., Founder & CEO, The Mark Anthony Group of Companies.
“Innovation has been at the heart of everything we do for 50 years. We disrupted the industry, creating an entirely new taste in the Hard Seltzer category with White Claw by bringing new thinking, technology breakthroughs, and our unmatched iconic flavors to market.
The same innovative spirit and technological know-how inspired the creation of our premium vodka—we believe the vodka category is ready for its White Claw moment.” While the full process behind it is a secret, White Claw Premium Vodka is made with 100% American grain and distilled five times in columns with copper plates.
It is Triple Wave Filtered — named for the use of immense pressure equal to three 30-foot waves — which has the same smoothing effect on vodka that ocean waves have on stones and shells. And it is filtered through activated carbon from charred coconut shells.
Each bottle of White Claw Premium Vodka is carefully bottled in Kentucky and embossed with the White Claw logo — the surge of three perfect crests coming together. The result is a minimal yet complex combination of aromas and sensations in the mouth and nose — subtle notes of citrus at first, then grain, then a velvety finish.
Along with the creation of a new process, White Claw also came up with a new way to describe the premium vodka: it’s the “smooovest.” “We spent almost a decade researching and developing a new way to show drinkers what complexity looks, tastes, and feels like within the minimalist experience of vodka,” added von Mandl.
“We created one of the most complex production processes of any vodka in the world to produce a vodka unlike any other.” As part of its expansion into vodka, White Claw is also announcing the launch of its new ready-to-drink White Claw Vodka + Soda, because better vodka makes for a better vodka + soda.
The new 100-calorie canned cocktail is made with the same Triple Wave Filtered White Claw Premium Vodka that is in the bottles. The vodka’s velvety finish is designed to bring out the fruit flavors in White Claw Vodka + Soda Pineapple, Peach, Wild Cherry, and Watermelon varieties.
(40% Alc/Vol) – available in 1L, 750ml, and 50ml bottles. (30% Alc/Vol) – available in iconic White Claw flavors — Mango, Black Cherry, and Pineapple — in 1L, 750ml, and 50ml bottles. (4.5% Alc/Vol) is available (US only) in Pineapple, Peach, Wild Cherry, and Watermelon flavors in 12-ounce slim cans included in variety 8-packs and single flavor 4-packs.

Is Topo Chico water or alcohol?
Bottled at the source in Monterrey, Mexico, since 1985, Topo Chico’s natural sparkling mineral water is refreshing and versatile.
Is Topo Chico the same as Club Soda?
Club soda vs seltzer (sparkling water): what’s the difference? – Club soda and seltzer are two types of carbonated water. To understand the difference, it’s also helpful to compare them with tonic water and sparkling water. Here’s a breakdown:
- Seltzer, aka soda water or sparkling water is carbonated water with no additives, carbonated by injecting carbon dioxide (CO2). It’s the base for brands like La Croix, or what comes out of a SodaStream. Sparkling mineral water is made with water from a mineral spring, like Perrier or Topo Chico.
- Club soda is carbonated water infused with added minerals, which give it a salty or lightly sweet flavor. Additives you may see in club soda are potassium sulfate, sodium chloride, disodium phosphate, or sodium bicarbonate.
- Tonic water is carbonated water with added quinine and sugar. It was first sold commercially in the 1850’s as a way to drink quinine, prescribed at the time to fight malaria. It tastes sweet and bitter, and is used in many cocktails like the gin and tonic, (Here’s more about tonic water,)
Interestingly, it’s hard to find anything at the store that’s labeled “seltzer,” though that’s what it is. Sparkling mineral water is easier to find, and of course you can find LaCroix just about anywhere.
Is White Claw a malt beer?
What kind of alcohol is in White Claw? – White Claw is a malt beverage with a flavor. It’s prepared with seltzer water, gluten-free alcohol, and a bit of fruit flavor. White Claw Hard Seltzer gets its alcohol from malted gluten-free grains that have been fermented. Buy WHITE CLAW VARIETY PACK 2 – 12 PACK Online

Is there a tequila seltzer?
A key figure in the booming RTD industry, High Noon is betting big on tequila with its newest release. (Photo: High Noon) High Noon is finally moving beyond vodka with the release of High Noon Tequila Seltzers. The best-selling brand has just debuted an 8-pack of tequila seltzers across the United States containing lime, grapefruit, passionfruit and strawberry flavors selling at a retail price of $21.99.
- The move comes on the heels of an industry-wide shift toward ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages made with distilled spirits, a trend that High Noon arguably single-handedly popularized.
- While hard seltzers like White Claw and Truly are made with malt liquor, High Noon has used vodka (and now tequila) since its inception in 2019.
The move paid off. High Noon was Drizly’s single best-selling RTD brand in 2021 by a huge margin; in fact, their products comprised seven of Drizly’s top ten best-selling RTDs that year. Now, High Noon is positioned to do well within a changing market.
- A recently commissioned IWSR Drinks Markets Analysis forecasted that demand for RTDs will continue to grow until 2026, at which point they are projected to outpace the popularity of hard seltzers.
- Other brands have been forced to play catch-up.
- Truly recently announced a ” brand refresh ” that included the return of Truly Vodka Sodas and other cocktail-inspired flavors.
White Claw announced a similar series of moves in January, releasing a set of White Claw “Triple Wave Filtered” Vodkas and announcing a yet-unreleased line of White Claw Vodka Sodas. White Claw’s new vodka-centric offerings. (Photo: White Claw) Nonetheless, High Noon will likely face tough competition in the rapidly expanding tequila RTD market. Topo Chico, Fresca, Playboy, Boston Beer Company, Stone Brewing and even professional boxer Canelo Alvarez have all announced investments in their own RTD brands over the past year.
What is the name of the tequila seltzer?
This summer, trade your beer-based seltzers for these popular tequila-based seltzers, perfect for the pool, lake, or beach. Most consumers do not realize that most popular seltzers or ready-to-drink (RTD) canned cocktails are either beer or wine based.
- The RTD category has exploded over the last two years, and every company is trying to gain a share of the opportunity.
- I would encourage drinkers to transition from beer-based seltzers such as White Claw and Truly to spirit-based seltzers and canned cocktails.
- I love drinking tequila during the summer, and my go-to cocktails are usually a rotation of Tequila & Soda, Ranch Water, or Paloma.
I’ve included some popular ready-to-drink options below that fit this style of drink, and I omitted any vodka-based RTDs, such as High Noon or any RTD margaritas. In the future, I’ll write a separate article about some of the best RTD margaritas on the market.
- Cantina Tequila Soda is the newer tequila-based option from the Austin-based canned cocktail brand Canteen Spirits.
- The brand comes in a 12 oz (355 ml) beer can, an in keeping with the strategy that we see with other brands, Cantina has a Ranch Water, Grapefruit Paloma, and Watermelon Margarita.
- The company’s website describes the Ranch Water as, “an ode to a Texas classic delivers Blanco tequila paired with flavors of fresh squeeze lime and a touch of sea salt.” The Ranch Water has 99 calories, 1 carb, 0 sugar, is canned at 5.6 % ABV, and thanks to it’s tequila base spirit is gluten free.
Their website describes the Grapefruit Paloma as, “a true match made in heaven, it’s essence of fresh ruby red grapefruit is beautifully balanced with blanco tequila with Natural Grapefruit & Orange Flavor.” The Grapefruit Paloma has 99 calories, 1 carb, 0 sugar, is canned at 5.6 % ABV, and is also gluten free.
Finally, they describe the Watermelon Margarita as, “a classic margarita uniquely paired with the taste of fresh watermelon, perfectly balanced using blanco tequila, agave nectar and natural watermelon, lime and orange flavors.” The Watermelon Margarita has 99 calories, 2 carb, 0 sugar, is canned at 5.6 % ABV, and is also gluten free.
Check out the brand’s Website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, Jose Cuervo is the number one selling tequila brand in the United States. Playamar is their new tequila-based seltzer, named for a compound of the Spanish words for beach, Playa, and sea, mar,
- Inspired by the beaches of Mexico, the brand features four flavors: Lime, Grapefruit, Black Cherry, and Mango.
- This product is packaged in a 12 oz (355 ml) slim can and is made with Jose Cuervo Tequila, 4.5 % ABV, and 90 calories.
- This brand contains zero carbs, zero sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and is gluten-free.
Visit the company website, here, Ranch Rider Spirits represents the rugged vibe of the Southwest in much the same way that Onda Sparkling Tequila captures the look and feel of ’90s surf culture in places like Southern California. This Austin-based ready-to-drink (RTD) brand has a line-up of Texas cocktail classics, such as the Ranch Water, Tequila Paloma, and The Chilton,
Ranch Rider continues to gain popularity and grow. Recently they have added three new products to the portfolio: Jalapeño Ranch Water, Margarita, and Mule ( The Buck ). For this article, I am only going to focus on two of their tequila-based products: Ranch Water and Paloma. Ranch Rider Spirits began as a food truck called Ranch Hand, run by two University of Texas students, Quentin and Brian.
They founded the business to deliver healthier meals to their classmates. Their mission statement was perfectly encapsulated by the giant message on their truck’s side stating, “Stop Eating Shit for Lunch.” The transition from food to cocktails came when the duo could not find a shift drink that wasn’t loaded with sugar or artificial sweeteners.
They bought a carbonation tank and mixed cocktails for their customers using premium distilled spirits with sparkling water and freshly squeezed fruit. When enough customers asked, “Where can we buy this? The Ranch Rider Spirits Co. cocktail line was born. A Ranch Water drink is a Texas classic and arguably one of the most uncomplicated and refreshing cocktails.
Made famous by ranchers in West Texas, the drink is simply tequila (traditionally reposado), fresh lime juice, and sparkling water (traditionally Topo Chico ). The Ranch Rider Spirits Co. Ranch Water holds to the original recipe. This product contains just Reposado Tequila, sparkling water, and real, not-from-concentrate lime juice, packaged at 6 % ABV, 119 calories, 0.5 g of sugar, and 1.5 carbs.
- The Paloma is the most popular cocktail in Mexico.
- Like Ranch Water, the Paloma recipe is simple: Tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and sparkling water.
- Many prefer to make their Palomas with the citrus soda Squirt or Jarritos Grapefruit,
- I personally like to make my Palomas with Q Drinks Grapefruit,
The Ranch Rider Spirits Co. Tequila Paloma contains just reposado tequila, sparkling water, real grapefruit, and real lime juice. This product is packaged at 6 % ABV, 134 calories, 3.5 g of sugar, and 5.8 carbs. The company sources its reposado tequila from a family-owned distillery in Jalisco, Mexico.
For those tequila nerds like myself, the company says, “Our distillers use a roller mill to extract from the agave plant. From there, they cook with brick ovens (the more traditional, craft method), ferment in stainless-steel tanks, distilled in copper pots, and age for two months in primarily American-whiskey oak barrels.” All of Ranch Rider Spirits Co.’s products are vegan & gluten-free.
