The Truly No Shade, Just Tea hard seltzer has been created in collaboration between Truly Hard Seltzer and reality star JaNa Craig of Love Island USA to offer fans a new way to enjoy a premium refreshment. The drink is crafted with a Raspberry Iced Tea flavor that incorporates a base of hard seltzer with real brewed tea and raspberry flavor to give it a light, bubbly and crisp profile. The drink contains 100-calories per can with one-gram of sugar and a 5% ABV per can, and is being offered through multiple drops online, but only while supplies last.
Senior Director of Marketing Matt Withington spoke on the Truly No Shade, Just Tea hard seltzer saying, "This collaboration came straight from our fans — they saw the tease and demanded we make it a reality. The excitement around JaNa’s potential flavor was undeniable, so we’re thrilled to deliver exactly what our fans have asked for. Her authentic connection with our audience and genuine love for the brand made this partnership a perfect fit.”
