Bud Light Seltzer Sugar Plum Hard Seltzer Delivers Some Holiday Cheer

Bud Light Seltzer Sugar Plum— Most people around the world are familiar with The Nutcracker ballet. In fact, seeing The Nutcracker is an annual holiday tradition for some. One central character to the ballet is the Sugar Plum Fairy, who is the ruler of the Land of Sweets. The first person to play the Sugar Plum Fairy was prima ballerina Antonietta Dell’Era. In fact, the Sugar Plum Fairy is the first role that many student ballerinas dream of playing. She is a symbol of season splendor and childhood dreams. But what is a sugar plum? In actuality a sugar plum is not a fruit at all. It is a small round or oval candy made of hardened sugar. For those looking to enjoy some holiday cheer with a touch of alcohol, try a Bud Light Seltzer Sugar Plum Hard Seltzer.

Light Fragrance

The first hint as to whether you will like a hard seltzer comes when you open the can and let the fragrance seep out into the air. In the case of Bud Light Seltzer Sugar Plum Hard Seltzer, there is not much scent to tempt the drinker. It is not a bad fragrance, per se. There just isn’t much aroma there when you consider the name and that it’s a seasonal seltzer. However, the carbonation is very good, as is the subtle color of the hard seltzer. This holiday spiked seltzer has a relatively average 5% alcohol by volume (ABV) so you should be able to enjoy more than one responsibly at the company Christmas party.

Bud Light Seltzer Sugar Plum has Subdued Flavor

Made with water, cold-fermented cane sugar, natural flavors, artificial flavors, stevia leaf extract, and malted rice, this flavor from Bud Light Seltzer’s Ugly Sweater Variety Pack has all the ingredients for success. Although not a fragrant hard seltzer, this brew does have a very nice, albeit subtle flavor. It is a sugary sweet flavor, just like a hard candy. There is a hint of berry to the flavor as well. It is a very light and somewhat delicate flavor. The flavor tickles the tastebuds as opposed to overwhelming them.  View more holiday hard seltzers in our Seasonal Hard Seltzer Reviews section.
