Review: Ficks Hard Seltzer
Ficks Hard Seltzer was created by two college roommates on a mission to cut sugar from their cocktails without compromising flavor. First the two had to earn enough money to launch their company. Ron Alvarado worked in private equity and Mike Williamson in investment banking. In 2016 they launched their line of all natural low calorie and low sugar cocktail mixers. In February 2018 they released Ficks Hard Seltzer. Ficks is made from a cold fermented sucrose alcohol base. This base is made from fresh cold pressed orange juice that ferments for 2-3 weeks until no sugar is left. At that time the 15% alcohol base is blended with sparkling water, real juice and natural flavors. Ficks is sold in individual flavor packs and also a four flavor, 12 can variety pack. The original four flavors were Lime, Cranberry, Blackberry, and Grapefruit. They have since replaced Lime with Mango. The Limes are sourced from Mexico, the Cranberries and Blackberries are grown in Washington and Oregon, the Grapefruits called Texas and California home, and finally after testing several different Mango varieties from several different regions they selected Mangos grown in Ecuador. We will be giving you our thoughts on all five flavors. Read more
