What it is
This is a flavored hard seltzer beverage. It is made with a blend of seltzer water, alcohol, and natural mango flavor. The taste is designed to evoke the tropical profile of a Mai Tai cocktail. It is a carbonated drink with a light body and a refreshing finish. The sweetness comes from the fruit flavoring.
