A can of carbonated water with a shot of vodka in it.
Just as much flavour as a typical flavoured carbonated water too
Just to clarify at least original White Claw gets its alcohol from fermented sugar. It’s basically a gluten free clear beer with no hops and fruit flavor added.
High Noon and anything labeled Vodka soda use actual distilled spirit. Those are more expensive and taste better, especially after a few.
Depends on the state, no? Many states will tax distilled spirits higher than just fermented beverages, even if the end product is essentially just a 5% 12oz can.
We need these laws to change, imo.
it does not depend on the state, white claw does not have vodka in it. high noon does.
I mean the price difference, because tax. The product will be the same but could be different prices depending on state liquor laws.
It actually says "beer" in small print on the can since it is according to the legal/regulatory definition.
It's honestly really refreshing during summer to drink vodka + carbonated water. If it's really hot (or I'm super full of food) I don't want much taste and carbonated water does a good job of hiding away the vodka taste.
It's a common drink in Finland, Koskenkorva vodka and vichy (water)
Summer drink is a Gin and Tonic.
Nothing is better after mowing the lawn than a shot of Pin-Sol with lime.
GT is great
Sounds like the water provides the freshness and the alcohol is around only to get you drunk. Just order carbonated water.
Why order vodka if you don't like the taste? If the goal is get drunk, just choose a drink that you find pleasant.
The alcohol is there to relax me.
It's cheap and does the trick. And it can be pleasant, ice cold or in say carbonated water/vichy. Maybe it's a cultural difference but just seems amusing to explain this.
idk where the other guy is from but your take is the norm here in america, also sitting here mildly perplexed at this requiring explanation… maybe OP isn’t a drinker?
404 tasty alcohol not found
It's a matter of taste but out of hard liquor not flavored after I think brandy can be genuinely tasty. Ice cold good vodka can be refreshing. Sauna and ice cold vodka is worth trying out
Vodka sodas aren't a global thing?
I would think they are but they're not familiar to everyone (actually just had to explain the drink in another reply hah)
