White Claw Variety Pack No 2

White Claw Variety Pack No 2 is a mixed case of canned hard seltzers at 5% ABV, bundling several fruit flavors so you can try more than one without committing to a full case of a single kind. Each can is a finished drink. There is nothing to mix, measure or garnish, and the flavor lineup is printed on the box and the individual cans. Hard seltzers in this style are usually light-bodied and dry, with fruit character that comes across as a clean, lightly sweet suggestion rather than a juicy, syrupy one. Expect fine carbonation, little weight on the palate and a short, crisp finish. Flavors like these tend to taste more vivid when very cold, so keep the cans in the fridge or a cooler for several hours before serving. Chilling also keeps the bubbles lively. You can drink them straight from the can, which suits picnics, boat days, tailgates and any setting where glass is a nuisance. If you would rather pour, a tall highball glass over plenty of ice shows off the color and slows dilution. A wedge of lime, or a citrus slice that matches the flavor in the can, is enough of a garnish if you want one. Because the flavors are light and the sweetness is restrained, seltzers like these pair easily with salty, fried or spicy food. Think tacos, grilled chicken, nachos, wings, sushi, chips and salsa, or a cheese and cracker board. The mixed format also helps when guests have different tastes, since one pack lets everyone pick a flavor from the same stack. Keep a few cans on hand for a cooler, a cookout or a casual get-together. At 5% ABV, they are close in strength to many standard beers.
