While spiked seltzers are moderately alcoholic, Four Loko is introducing what it calls the "hardest seltzer in the universe" with 14% ABV—which means that it's about three times more alcoholic than some of the most popular hard seltzer products currently on the market. It's been a few summers since cans of spiked sparkling water started catching the attention of consumers and now the sales of hard seltzer products are only continuing to skyrocket. With this new product, Four Loko can officially claim to have the seltzer with the highest alcohol by volume and will distinctly set itself apart in an increasingly crowded market.
According to the labels on its tall can, the Four Loko Seltzer shares a sour taste with a hint of blue raspberry.
