Pirate Water Miami Vige

Pirate Water Miami Vige is a canned seltzer from Esplanda. The name points to the Miami Vice style of drink, which is usually a strawberry daiquiri swirled with a piña colada. Going by that reference, expect a fruit-forward profile that leans on strawberry, coconut and pineapple. The listing doesn't give an exact flavor breakdown, sweetness level or ABV, so check the can for those details. The can is pre-mixed and ready to drink. There is no bartending, no juice or rum to add, and no shaker or blender to wash afterward. Open it and pour. Seltzers in this style taste best well chilled, so keep the can in the fridge or on ice until you drink it. You can drink it straight from the can, which suits a beach bag, a cooler or a boat. For a glass, pour it over ice in a highball or rocks glass. The ice softens the fruit and keeps the carbonation lively as it sits. A lime wedge or a pineapple wedge suits the tropical theme, but it isn't needed. Fruit-and-coconut flavors like this pair well with salty, savory and spicy food. Grilled shrimp, fish tacos, jerk chicken, chips with salsa or guacamole, and cookout burgers all work. It is also an easy can to bring to a pool day, a tailgate or a backyard get-together, because it needs no preparation and is easy to carry in a cooler.
