Nutrl Vodka Seltzer Vaiety Pack

This variety pack collects NUTRL's vodka seltzers in one box, so you get several fruit flavors at 4.5% ABV without committing to a full case of one. Each can is vodka blended with sparkling water and fruit flavor. The brand describes the flavors as natural, and the line is sold as having no added sugar. That puts the drinks on the dry, clean side of the seltzer spectrum rather than the sweet side of a flavored malt beverage. The exact flavors in this assortment aren't listed here, so check the carton for the lineup. Expect a light body and fine carbonation, with fruit coming through as a bright, juicy note instead of a syrupy one. Seltzers made this way usually finish quickly and leave little aftertaste, and the vodka stays in the background. At 4.5% they are easy to drink slowly, and a can won't taste heavy over a long afternoon. Everything is already mixed, so there is no measuring, shaking, or garnish prep. Chill the cans thoroughly before serving, because the flavors are at their crispest cold and fade as the can warms. You can drink straight from the can, which suits coolers, boats, tailgates and beach bags. To pour, use a highball or rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Pouring over ice softens the carbonation a little and brings the fruit forward. A lime or lemon wedge is optional and works best with the citrus flavors. A mixed pack is useful when a group wants different things. Guests can pick their own flavor, and you can set a few on ice and let people choose. Light, fruit-forward seltzers pair well with grilled chicken, shrimp, fish tacos, salads, chips and salsa, and sushi, because they refresh the palate without competing with the food. They also suit picnics, pool days and casual get-togethers where cans are easier than glassware.
