While nothing beats a cool bottle of beer on a summer day, a can of hard seltzer is a pretty close second. Hard seltzers are the latest trendy alcoholic beverage. And it's not hard to see why. Low in calories, low ABV, refreshing, and available in many delicious flavors, it's no wonder these bubbly beverages are so popular these days.

Whether you're looking to make some fancy cocktails or just looking for something yummy to sip this summer, here are some of our top picks.

White Claw Hard Seltzer

White Claw offers nine flavors, including Pure, Black Cherry, Watermelon, Natural Lime, Mango, Tangerine, Lemon, Raspberry, and Ruby Grapefruit.

Quincy

Classy and refined, Quincy hard seltzers are suitable for more upmarket drinkers. In fact, Quincy is touted as one of Aussie's best hard seltzer brands.
