Sparkalicious Hard Seltzer — A new addition to Bootstrap’s line-up, the Sparkalicious Hard Seltzer lineup is made with real fruit and inspired by classic cocktail recipes — a rotating selection of their three seltzer flavors are included in every party pack. Unlike many hard seltzers on the market that use oils, resins, or extracts derived from natural sources to impart flavor to the beverage, Bootstrap’s hard seltzers are all made with real fruit, creating a more concentrated flavor and vibrant coloring. 4.5% ABV | 0 IBUs
