NFL Stadiums Score Hard Seltzer Tall Boys for Thirsty Football Fans

Since the first real push for hard seltzer last summer, the category has continued to grow. New flavors and brands are slowly making their way onto the playing field as health-conscious drinkers (or those looking to find a way to spike their cocktails with more booze) explore this fairly new class of beverages. In an attempt to take it a step further, Spiked Seltzer has recently introduced 16-ounce cans in select NFL stadiums around the country.

Currently the only hard seltzer company to come in a tall boy, Spiked Seltzer’s 6 percent ABV concoctions are set to corner(back) the market on highly-chuggable beer alternatives.

The products themselves (if you’ve somehow avoided drinking what’s been everywhere in the past year) are pretty damn refreshing. Not only are hard seltzers lower in sugar than beer, but they are also lower in carbs — and, compared to most domestics, they’re higher in ABV.

While not all of the NFL stadiums are on board, the company hopes to expand league-wide eventually. At the moment, you’ll be able to find the both Indian River Grapefruit and West Indies Lime flavors at the homes of the Chiefs, Redskins, Broncos, Panthers, Titans, Eagles, Browns, Bengals, and Falcons. You can also find the lime at CenturyLink Field, where the Seahawks play; in the suites and clubs at Gillette Stadium, headquarters of the Patriots; and in the standard 12-ounce slim cans at Metlife Stadium for all you Giants and Jets fans out there.

Not a football diehard, but love America’s sport (and already looking forward to next season, even if you’re team is already out)? You can find Spiked Seltzer at the homes of the Phillies, Nationals, and Orioles.

What does it for us is the fact that the stuff goes down easy — especially if you’re as obsessed with seltzers such as La Croix as we are — and you’ll get drunk faster than you would on a standard domestic. It’s a win-win that’s bolstered by the low calorie count which, when you think about it, means you can drink more over the course of a day. Also a win.

How to start your own home bar: the essential spirits
Home Bar

When you start getting into cocktails, drinking them is only half the fun -- making them is part of the appeal too. If you start making your own drinks at home, you'll soon find that you can often create better or more interesting drinks than what you're served in most bars. And even better, making drinks for other people is a great way to try out new combinations, learn about spirits, and make your friends and family happy too.

However, moving beyond the simple spirit plus mixer style of drinks which most people make at home and into the world of cocktails means that you'll need a wider array of spirits on hand than you might be used to. It can take some time and research to build up a well stocked bar, and choosing high quality spirits isn't a cheap endeavor. It's worth it, though, for the pleasure of being able to try out classic cocktail recipes and experiment with making up your own creations too.

You’re overlooking the most important ingredient in your cocktail
Steel Hibiscus cocktail.

When you list off the most important parts of making a good cocktail your mind likely goes immediately to good ingredients: quality spirits, freshly squeezed citrus juices, and well-matched mixers. You might also consider the importance of using the right tools, like getting a proper mixing glass so your stirred drinks can be properly incorporated, or a good strainer so that there aren't little shards of ice in your cocktails. And then there are the fun additions like elaborate garnishes, bitters, or home-made syrups which can add a personal touch to your drinks.
All of those things are important, absolutely. However I think there's one ingredient that can make or break a good cocktail, and it's something many drinkers don't ever stop to consider. It's the humble but vital ingredient of ice.

Why ice is so important
In mixed drinks like a gin and tonic or a screwdriver, ice is added to the drink primarily to chill it down to a pleasing temperature. That's a topic we'll come back to. But in cocktails which are shaken or stirred, ice is far more important than that. Cocktails are typically composed of between around 20 to 30 percent water, and this water comes from the ice used in the preparation process.
When you stir ingredients in a mixing glass or shake them in a shaker with ice, you are chipping away small pieces of the ice so that it dissolves and blends with your other ingredients. You might imagine that water doesn't make much of a difference to taste, being tasteless itself. But it's vital in opening up the flavors of other ingredients. That's why many whiskey drinkers like to add a dash of water to their whiskey when they drink it neat.
If you're ever in doubt of how important water is to cocktails, it's worth trying to make a drink with no ice. Even if you mix up the ideal ratios for a drink that you love and put it into the freezer so that it gets to the chilled temperature that you usually enjoy it at, if you sip it you'll find that your drink tastes harsh, unbalanced, and incomplete. Even for special room temperature cocktails like those designed to be drunk from a flask, you'll generally find water being added at a rate of around 30%.
When you make your cocktails you should be sure to stir for a long time – around 30 seconds is a good start – or to shake for a good while too – I typically do around 12 to 15 seconds – in order to melt enough ice to get plenty of water into your cocktail. Despite what you might imagine, this won't make the cocktail taste watery but will rather make the flavors stand out more as well as often improving the mouthfeel of the drink. A good rule of thumb is to mix or shake until the vessel is cold to the touch. That means your ingredients are sufficiently incorporated with the ice.
