spiked seltzer

Alcoholic sparkling water

Spiked seltzer is carbonated water with alcohol added, typically flavored and sold in cans.

The "spiked" indicates alcoholic content, usually around 5% ABV, distinguishing it from regular seltzer.

Marketed as a lighter alternative to beer or cocktails: We grabbed some spiked seltzers for the beach.

Also called hard seltzer.
