In an effort to cater to the growing number of consumers looking for beer and wine alternatives, Anheuser-Busch has debuted a new Hard Green Tea and Hard Limeade.
Released under the brand name LQD, the new drinks are made from ingredients such as coconut water and green tea. In total, there are three new products to choose from: Hard Agave Limeade, Hard Passion Fruit Green Tea, and Hard Peach Green Tea. Both of the spiked green tea drinks balance the bitterness of green tea with the natural sweetness of fruit, while the hard limeade is made from real lime juice and naturally sweet agave nectar. All the drinks are under 200 calories per serving and boast 5.2-to-5.9 percent ABVs for easy summer sipping.
