... and it definitely holds it's own amongst the big name brands in the growing hard seltzer industry
Wollongong born and bred company, Island Mist® 'Guilt Free' Hard Seltzer, is one of the latest hard seltzers to hit the market, but with a couple of key differences that help it stand out among stiff competition.
Hard seltzers have fast becoming one of the best selling and fastest growing categories in the alcoholic ready-to-drink scene, largely due to an increased demand for healthy beverage options as consumers become more health conscious.
So, what is a hard seltzer?
By definition, a hard seltzer is sparkling water, alcohol and fruit flavouring. Often, a hard seltzer is either low sugar or sugar free, and low in calories, making it a great alternative to sugary alcoholic soda-pops. While the concept of a hard seltzer sounds great, many consumers have been turned off the fizzy drink due to big name branded products using artificial sweeteners which consumers described as "defeating the purpose" and also lacking taste, with consumers even going so far to say they taste like "TV static" (we got a nice laugh out of this also.)
And so, the founders of Island Mist® identified this lack of great hard seltzers that tick all the boxes and knew they could make a hard seltzer that not only tasted great, but also was eco-friendly, used only real, natural fruit flavours and is higher in alcohol (who doesn't love more bang for you buck?)
So what makes Island Mist® unique (and dare we say better) than the competition?
