The July heat is on, but these ready-to-drink cocktails are ice cold

Unless you’re one of the lucky ones with an outdoor pool or a neighborhood keeping theirs open, there are fewer ways to beat the heat this year than in summers’ past. And if you’ve experienced a July in Kansas before, you know the summer sun does not come to play. So why not join in the fun? We can’t install pools in your backyard, but we can recommend the best seltzers and cocktails we’ve got stocked on our shelves. Here’s what’s hot right now (we mean cold.) 

Brown Bag Summer Picks: Truly Hard Seltzer

Truly Hard Seltzer is popular year round, but it flies off the shelves in the summertime. Why? It’s a light and refreshing alternative to heavy beers and sugary cocktails. There’s over 13 flavors that range from Pineapple and Black Cherry to the classic Lime and Lemon staples. If you like buying in bulk, you can stock up on Berry, Citrus and Tropical Mix Packs. 

Brown Bag Summer Picks: White Claw Hard Seltzer

White Claws burst on the scene a few summers ago, and the summer get-togethers were never the same. If you haven’t at least heard of White Claws by now, we’d love to know more about the rock you’ve been living under. With 100 calories, 5% alcohol and 2g carbs per can, you can feel good about feeling good. White Claw recently introduced White Claw 70, a lower calorie and lower alcohol content alternative to its other mainstays. White Claw 70 comes in Pineapple and Clementine. Guess how many calories it has?

Brown Bag Summer Picks: Vizzy Hard Seltzer

Perhaps lesser known but just as good (if not better!) as Truly and White Claw is Vizzy Hard Seltzer. You might be asking yourself if another hard seltzer is really what your refrigerator needs right now, but we promise you the answer is yes. Vizzy stands apart from other ready-to-drink hard seltzers because it contains Vitamin C from acerola superfruit. So when you take a sip of Vizzy Pineapple Mango, Black Cherry Lime, Blueberry Pomegranate or Strawberry Kiwi, it’s almost like you’re eating those fruits. Or a hint of them, at least. 

Brown Bag Summer Picks: Beatbox Beverages

Beatbox Beverages prides itself on being the world’s tastiest party punch, and even though we aren’t doing much partying right now, we’re inclined to agree. It’s a personal-sized wine bag that comes in Blue Razzberry, Fruit Punch, Fresh Watermelon, Pink Lemonade and Tropical Punch flavors. In other words, they’re perfect for socially-distanced summer fun. Mark Cuban even said of Beatbox, “You guys don’t sell wine. You sell FUN.” As if you even needed that endorsement.
