Big Country Black Raspberry Grapefruit Hard Seltzer Offers Up a Unique Treat

Big Country Black Raspberry Grapefruit Organic Hard Seltzer— Do you remember the days of old-fashioned ice cream parlors? You don’t see this kind of institution around much anymore. But in their heyday, ice cream parlors were a big-time attraction for people of all ages. Parents would take their children for a scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone. Young lovers would sit quietly staring into each other’s eyes as they shared a banana split. Ice cream parlors had specialty flavors you could not find anywhere else. One such ice cream flavor is black raspberry. It is almost sinful the way the luscious cream, sweet cane sugar, and plump juicy black raspberries blended together for a flavor experience unlike any other. Big Country Black Raspberry Grapefruit Hard Seltzer has crafted an adult beverage flavor that harkens back to those fond memories from another time.

Intriguing Bouquet

When you open a can of Big Country Black Raspberry Grapefruit Organic Hard Seltzer you are instantly greeted with what can best be described as an “intriguing scent.” Right from the start, your nose is tempted with a very clear and appetizing fragrance of grapefruit. As the strong grapefruit essence begins to slowly dissipate, hints of berry become recognizable in the air. The bouquet is a lively and inviting one. And with a modest alcohol by volume of 4.5%, this spiked sparkling water promises a pleasant drinking experience if you decide to enjoy more than one. In terms of calories it is on the lighter side with just 90 calories per serving. Also worth noting is that it has only 1 gram of total carbohydrates and 0 grams of total sugars. It is also gluten-free and Certified Fair Trade.

Big Country Black Raspberry Grapefruit Hard Seltzer Has an Authentic Flavor

The bouquet of this Big Country Organic Hard Seltzer is so inviting, you’ll almost worry that the build up is too big. That you’ll be disappointed when the flavor doesn’t measure up to what you’ve just smelled when you opened the can. But all worries are for naught. This organic hard seltzer is as big on flavor as it is on fragrance. Remember that black raspberry ice cream flavor of yesteryear? Well, it is well represented here. The flavor is very authentic and a true treat. After the raspberry flavors cascade across your palate, you are next greeted with the exciting tones of grapefruit. The grapefruit flavor really gives the taste buds a gift. While the thought of a raspberry and grapefruit combination might have sounded questionable at first, the end product is really, really good. I don’t know where the mixologists got the idea to blend grapefruit and black raspberry, but it panned out very well.

Utterly Unique

When it comes to unconventional fruit blends, grapefruit and black raspberry would certainly be on the list. However, Big Country Black Raspberry Grapefruit Hard Seltzer provides a pleasing package. The scent of the drink is inviting and the taste of this hard sparkling water flavor is exciting and unexpected. Like nothing you’ve ever tasted before. At only 90 calories per serving you can have more than one without too much worry on your waistline. Similarly, with a lower ABV of 4.5%, you can also consume more than one without much fear of regret. And before we go, it’s also important to mention that the carbonation level is excellent. There are just the right amount of bubbles to make it a fun beverage to drink and that effervescence is the perfect vehicle to deliver such a deliciously complex flavor combination.
