Review: Sonic Hard Seltzer Tropical Variety Pack
Sonic in partnership with Coop Ale Works launched two 12 can four flavor variety packs May 2021 in Oklahoma. Since then distribution has expanded to several states. Today we are starting with their Tropical Variety Pack. It may be challenging matching the super sweet Sonic Slushes flavor with a 1 carb hard seltzer but if we like what we taste we will track down their Citrus Variety Pack. Coop Ale Works opened their door in 2009 and they currently craft six year round beers including Ice Chest IPA, DNR, Saturday Siren Dry Hopped Pils, Horny Toad Blonde, F5 IPA, and Native Amber. Sonic Hard Seltzer was inspired by the world famous Sonic Slushes sold in more than 3500 restaurants in 46 states. Each 12 ounce slim can weighs in with 100 calories and 5% alcohol. They are made from a sugar alcohol base with natural flavors 1 carb and 1 gram of sugar.
