A hard seltzer is a type of pre-mixed or ready-to-drink alcohol

Hard seltzer is an alcoholic beverage that's generally made by combining sparkling water, alcohol, and natural fruit flavours.

A hard seltzer is a type of pre-mixed or ready-to-drink alcohol, popular for it's lower calories and lighter flavour than the more common spirit-based drinks made by big-brand labels.

Originally gaining popularity in the United States, hard seltzers are gaining traction in Australia as a lighter, low-calorie alternative to beer, cider, and sugary premixed drinks. With fewer carbohydrates, less sugar, and a crisp taste, hard seltzers are ideal for health-conscious drinkers who still want to enjoy the occasional drink.

While the word "seltzer" is a term for carbonated drinks (soda water for example). The "hard" in 'hard seltzer' refers to alcohol.

Hard seltzer as a term identifies RTDs that are brewed or mixed with alcohol derived from cane sugar, malt, or fruit-based fermentation. However, as these drinks have become more well-known and popular, the term has broadened to include spirit-based mixed drinks as well i.e. vodka RTDs. So if you're looking for a true hard seltzer, make sure you look at the ingredients or check the labels closely.

Those familiar with coconut water, know it contains sugar. While this sugar is naturally occurring it makes coconut water an unsuitable drink for people who avoid sugar or prefer a low-sugar diet – for lifestyle or health reasons.

So if you're wondering how Coco Loco Hard Seltzers are low-sugar, it's down to the unique formulation and brewing process.

Coco Loco is a brewed alcoholic beverage. This sets it apart from other alcoholic coconut waters, as Coco Loco drinks are made by brewing real coconut water.

Let's explain further: To make Coco Loco low-sugar we ferment real coconut water, using its natural-sugar to create alcohol; thereby lowering the sugar content in the final beverage.

As a simple formula: Coconut water + yeast + heat + time = low-sugar alcohol with electrolytes + carbon dioxide (making it fizzy)

Coco Loco Hard Seltzers are not brewed using any ingredients that are glutenous or contain gluten.

The brew formula contains:

• Real young green coconut water that's certified gluten-free
• Rice syrup is a sweetener derived from rice
• Yeast

See full list of ingredients for Pineapple and Passionfruit on the dedicated product pages.

Coco Loco Hard Seltzer is brewed like beer but with different ingredients. The process that creates the alcohol is called fermentation – when sugar is converted to alcohol.

The type of alcohol in Coco Loco drinks is ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol) at 4% ABV. This is the same safe (in moderation), consumable alcohol in beer, wine, and spirits.

How fermentation works:
Sugar source (we use coconut water and rice syrup) + Yeast → ethanol + CO₂ (carbonation).
