Alcoholic seltzers are more popular than ever in today’s health-conscious society. No longer just a drink for young adults easing into alcohol at 21, seltzers have become staples in the alcoholic beverage market. You have heard the catchy advertisements from brands like Truly, Vizzy, and White Claw dotting the airwaves. Now, the big beer brands have entered the seltzer fray. Whether you prefer the most popular brands or the lesser-known options, Joe Canal’s of Lawrenceville, NJ has something that you will enjoy.

What Exactly Is Alcoholic Seltzer?

Simply put, alcoholic seltzer is carbonated water mixed with alcohol and various flavor options. The flavors can be natural or artificial in nature. Usually free of gluten, most of the seltzers contain about the same alcohol content as your favorite light beer. However, some seltzer products can have double the alcohol by volume of most light beers.

Why Are Seltzers so Popular?

The most common reason for alcoholic seltzer’s popularity is the number of calories per can. A typical 12-ounce can of seltzer usually contains around 100 calories. Additionally, the amount of sugar in seltzer is normally low. Many consumers view seltzers as a healthier option when consuming alcohol. Being free of gluten and low in carbs and calories, seltzers can help dieters watch their waistlines while enjoying refreshing adult beverages.
