Heard of hard seltzer? This drink is the hit of this summer and honestly, I get it. Of course, I had to take the test for the proof first and when it comes to boozy business, I gladly offer myself up for that purpose. I tried the Carlett Elix, which labels itself as a spiked sparkling water. One was a lemon ginger with of course the obligatory sparkling water and some vodka, the other tasted like cucumber. Not sweetened, no fuss added and low in calories, even a bit lower than other hard seltzers. The taste is good (the lemon ginger is a favorite), it comes in a cool can (handy to take along) and there is actually only one catch to the drink: it drinks like lemonade. Just without that overwhelming sweet taste, with vodka and also vegan and gluten-free. It really depends on how big you make that ‘but‘ for yourself, but at least you’ve been warned.
