Welcome back to FTW’s Beverage of the Week series. Here, we mostly chronicle and review beers, but happily expand that scope to any beverage that pairs well with sports. Yes, even cookie dough whiskey.
There’s a natural progression from brunch drinks to hard seltzers. Fizzy, fruity and boozy are the through-lines.
Thus, it was only a matter of time before Vizzy grabbed the orange juice-champagne buddy cop feature capable of making $16 eggs benedict dishes palatable and enlisted it in its own seltzer army. The venerable brand, last seen in this column rolling out a just-OK creamsicle flavor, has jumped into the fray with more than just orange flavors to offer.
We’ve got a solid lineup of classic seltzer flavors with which to pair that mimosa base, from pineapple to pomegranate. The question now is whether they’re any good — and, at 100 calories and five percent ABV, a worthy replacement for a more-filling, mixed-at-your-table mimosa.
