White Claw Variety Pack No 1

Variety Pack No 1 is a mixed case of White Claw hard seltzers, bottled at 5.0% ABV and made with a clear, lightly fruited profile rather than a sweet or juicy one. Mixed packs in this line usually contain four flavors, so the can you open can change from one round to the next. Expect each flavor to taste like a light fruit essence on a crisp, carbonated base, with little sweetness and a short, clean finish. The reference copy for this pack also notes that the seltzers are gluten-free. There is nothing to prepare. Each can is a finished, pre-mixed drink, so you don't need a bartender, a mixer, garnish, or any extra ingredients. Open it and drink it. The seltzer is thin-bodied and carbonated, which means temperature matters more than with most drinks. Serve it well chilled, ideally straight from the refrigerator or an ice bath, because a warm can tastes flat and tinny. The simplest way to drink one is straight from the can. If you want it in a glass, pour it over plenty of ice in a highball or a rocks glass. Ice keeps it cold and lets the fruit notes open up a little as it dilutes. A wedge of citrus is optional, since the flavor is already built in. The light body and modest ABV make this a good match for salty or fried food that benefits from a palate-cleansing drink. Think tortilla chips and salsa, grilled chicken, tacos, burgers, wings, or a cheese and cracker platter. The mixed assortment also works when a group wants options without buying several separate cases. Because the cans are individually portable and need no opener or mixer, the pack suits coolers, tailgates, beach and pool days, picnics, and backyard cookouts.
