Nutrl Watermelon

NUTRL Watermelon is a vodka-based hard seltzer sold in a can, and the flavor is straightforward: watermelon, carried by sparkling water. It's a different thing from a fruit-juice cocktail. Seltzers in this style usually taste lighter, drier and less sweet than a mixed drink, so expect a clean, fresh melon note rather than a syrupy candy one. The fruit tends to come through as a gentle sweetness with a slightly juicy finish, and the carbonation keeps it crisp instead of heavy. It's pre-mixed and ready to drink. There's nothing to measure, shake or garnish, and no mixer or spirit to add. Open the can and it's ready to pour or sip. Temperature matters more with a seltzer than with most drinks. Serve it well chilled, ideally straight from the fridge or a cooler, since the carbonation and the melon character both taste sharpest when cold. Drinking it from the can is the easiest option. If you'd rather pour, a highball or rocks glass filled with ice works well. Keep in mind that ice dilutes it as it melts, so pour just before drinking, and use a glass that's already cold if you want to keep it crisp longer. Watermelon seltzer suits warm-weather, casual settings: a cooler at the beach or lake, a backyard cookout, a picnic, or a pool day. The light body and low sweetness go well with grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs and other barbecue fare. It also pairs with salty snacks such as chips and pretzels, and with lightly spicy or tangy dishes like tacos, where the cool fruit note offsets the heat. The can format also makes it a practical pick for packing into a cooler or a bag without extra gear.
