Whiteclaw Blood Orange

WHITECLAW Blood Orange is a ready-to-drink hard seltzer, sold in the can and ready to pour. Blood orange is a citrus with a more rounded profile than standard orange. Expect a juicy orange sweetness with a slightly tart, berry-like edge, and some bitter peel character. In a seltzer, flavors like this usually come across light and crisp rather than syrupy. The carbonation keeps the fruit lively and the finish fairly dry. The details supplied for this product don't list an ABV, calorie count or ingredient breakdown, so check the can for those figures. Nothing needs to be mixed, measured or garnished, so there is no bartending involved. Chill the can thoroughly before opening. Seltzers lose their snap quickly as they warm, and a cold can keeps both the bubbles and the citrus tasting clean. The simplest way to drink it is straight from the can. For a more relaxed pour, fill a highball or rocks glass with ice and add the seltzer over it. A wedge of orange on the rim is optional and echoes the flavor without changing it. Pour gently if you want to keep the fizz. The light body and citrus lean suit food with some salt, spice or char. Expect it to work with tacos, grilled chicken, shrimp, fish, and chips with salsa or guacamole. It should also pair well with charcuterie plates, soft cheeses and fresh salads that use citrus dressing. Because the flavor is bright and not heavy, it also holds up through a long afternoon outdoors, which makes it an easy choice for a cooler at the beach, a picnic, a backyard cookout, or a tailgate. Cans also travel well and need no opener, glassware or ice, so they suit a campsite, a boat or a bag for a quick stop on the way to a get-together.
