# Sparkling Hard Teas Loverboy Makes Low-Calorie, Zero-Sugar Naturally Sweetened Beverages By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-02-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-hard-tea References: [bevindustry](https://www.bevindustry.com/articles/92847-loverboy) & [drinkloverboy](http://www.drinkloverboy.com) Within the last few years, consumers have been introduced to many new kinds of sparkling drinks and alcohol-spiked beverages, and Loverboy offers something unique with its naturally sweetened sparkling hard teas. These 90-calorie drinks are free from sugar and share all the refreshment of an iced tea with a splash of alcohol—4.2% ABV to be precise. The ready-to-drink craft beverages are available in vibrant flavors like White Tea Peach, Hibiscus Pom and Lemon Iced Tea, all of which are made with a base of brewed organic tea that's enhanced with botanicals, monk fruit and gluten-free alcohol. While sparkling teas and hard beverages are familiar to most, Loverboy offers a creative fusion of ingredients and categories.
