TGIF cocktail lovers! Ready-to-drink cocktails have taken the world by storm, with even non-alcoholic drink brands jumping on the canned cocktail bandwagon. One such brand is Simply Lemonade, known for its regular blueberry lemonade. But now, they have introduced a spiked version that adds a little something extra to your favorite summer staple.

A Taste of Sunshine

On a sunny day at the park, I brought along a can of Simply Spiked Blueberry Lemonade to a Fourth of July event. With a pink paper straw and beach umbrella Swizzly Stick, I styled it up for a photo shoot that caught the attention of onlookers. And with that, I spent the day sipping in the shade, enjoying the refreshing taste.

The Verdict: Sweet and Boozy

Now, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. How does Simply Spiked Blueberry Lemonade taste?

Sweetness:

🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹 (5/5)

This ready-to-drink cocktail is definitely on the sweet side. Made with good cane sugar, it hits the right spot for those who enjoy a sweet libation. However, be warned that the sweetness is right on the edge, so if you prefer lighter flavors, this might not be your cup of lemonade.

Booziness:

🍹 (1/5)

At 5% ABV, Simply Spiked Blueberry Lemonade falls in line with light beer and hard seltzers. Its lower alcohol content makes it ideal for day drinking, but the sweetness may prevent you from having too many in a row.

Fear not, for I have a solution! Adding a splash of vodka to this canned cocktail can elevate the booziness without sacrificing the delightful flavors. This way, you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Cheers to Another Round?

Would I buy this ready-to-drink cocktail again? Possibly, but with a bottle of vodka to top it off, as mentioned before. I thoroughly enjoyed the blueberry Simply Spiked Lemonade, and I’m curious to try the other flavors in the variety pack. If I have a beach day or camping trip this summer, I’ll definitely pick up a pack to share with friends.

Until next time, my cocktail-loving friends, cheers!
