alcoholic sparkling water

marketing meeting: "Let's take a refreshing vodka soda and make it gross"

ranch water is a thing. though it has lime and tequila with the sparkling water

My wife likes the White Claw ones. I've had a couple and they're not bad, not super sweet at least.

Voted no, but am fronting and not too fussy about booze tbh. One good use of these type of drinks is when you have an enthusiastic liquid lunch, you can return to work without smelling like a brewery.

fuck no

I don't even understand what this is. Like a wine cooler but clear?

don't think I'd drink one of these but vodka/white rum with sparkling water (flavored or no) is kinda nice. just tastes like the sparkling water.

I personally don't adhere to the "rickeys must be made with gin or bourbon" line btw - tequila & lime with soda is a tequila rickey, vodka and lime with soda is a vodka rickey; if I say the name of a booze followed by the word rickey the bartender ought to be able to figure it out

anyway this is stupid it's just a weak rickey in a bottle with no ice

1) buy a bottle of liquor
2) buy a bottle of Perrier
3) use Perrier to make ice cubes
4) have yourself a liquor drink w mineral ice cubes

but yeah this concept is stupid but probably going to be super successful. like these are perfect to sell at your intestinal cupcake stand

intestinal artisanal

Hard no

these are perfect to sell at your intestinal cupcake stand

this is neural-network bobson dugnutt level

I thought i came across some kind of alcoholic water like 20+ years ago but always thought it was absurd and assumed it didn't last. Just semi remember seeing it in Dublin pubs.

don't get carbs from your liquor, get them from my intestinal cupcakes!!

that is the funniest typo i've seen in a while

alcoholic water seems a little too easy to drink, i will pass

Yeah my vote is very much that you can get the same effect if you take whatever seltzer / sparkling water / whatever that you happen to have, and pouring a generous glug of vodka into it.

Or so I've heard. From a friend.

only just a hint of natural flavor

oof at "blitz-weinhard"

The taste of alcohol is part of what makes it great. If I want to drink water or seltzer I’ll just do that instead

They have this in a slim can and I can kind of see where there would be sneaky drinking or leftover in the cooler appeal but otherwise no.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

We have some leftover from a party last October (in case anyone wants to swing by and pick some up).

pretty sure i was the "yes"

is this the most consensus any poll has gotten on ILX?
