Topo Chico Hard Seltzer has officially launched a new version of its classic alcoholic beverage, this time presenting the popular drink in a 12-oz glass bottle format. The new bottled option will be available throughout the United States in select markets.
The new format will be delivered in 12-packs only, with each bottle containing 4.7% alcohol while having 100 total calories. In addition, according to the company, the bottled beverages will offer a slightly different tasting experience than their canned offerings -- the bottled Topo Chico Hard Seltzer will deliver more carbonation, lending the product a more premium mouthfeel.
"There’s something incredibly special about drinking Topo Chico Hard Seltzer straight from the bottle, and we can’t wait for drinkers to pop something with a bit more character this season and beyond," said Matt Escalante senior director of hard seltzers at Molson Coors Beverage Company.
