Sunboy Variety Pack

SUNBOY's Variety Pack is a mixed case of hard seltzers made in New York and canned at 5.0% ABV. The point of the pack is range: you get several fruit-forward flavors in one purchase instead of committing to a single one. The reference notes describe the lineup as tropical in spirit, and the store details don't list the individual flavors in the box. Check the cans for the exact assortment. Seltzers in this style usually taste light, crisp and lightly sweet, with fruit that reads as juice or zest rather than syrup, and they finish clean and dry. Each can is fully pre-mixed, so there's nothing to measure, shake or garnish. Open one and drink it. At 5.0% it sits in the standard range for the category, so the cans are easy to drink at a relaxed pace over a long afternoon. Temperature matters more than anything else with a seltzer. Chill the cans thoroughly, ideally for a few hours in the fridge or in an ice-filled cooler, because a cold can keeps the carbonation sharp and the fruit tasting fresh. A warm can tastes flat and sugary. You can drink straight from the can at a beach, a tailgate or a park. If you'd rather pour, use a highball glass or a rocks glass filled with ice. A wedge of lime or orange works well if you want one, though the cans don't need it. The variety format suits groups where people like different things. Put the pack in a cooler for a backyard cookout and everyone can try a few flavors and settle on a favorite. Light, tropical-leaning seltzers also go well with food that has some salt, heat or char. Grilled shrimp, fish tacos, chicken skewers, chips with salsa and spicy takeout are all good matches, since the cold carbonation resets your palate between bites. It's also an easy pack to bring to a gathering when you don't know what the other guests prefer.
