It’s been a rough 18 months, and we’re all looking to let our hair down a little this summer. But, with health and wellness still top of mind, many consumers will surely be looking for drink options that are lighter on alcohol and calories than, say, a heavy IPA or shot-loaded cocktail. Luckily, there’s a brand-new drinks trend hitting the SA marker that ticks all those boxes; the oh-so-refreshing hard seltzer.
Over the past year, hard seltzers have exploded onto the South African market, bringing forth tons of convenient options for those looking to enjoy the light, crisp, and fresh flavours of spiked sparkling water. The latest brand to throw its hat into the hard seltzer ring is Southfields. Produced in Cape Town by the company that brews Jack Black beer, Southfields takes its inspiration from Cape Town’s ‘deep south.’ It’s the perfect drink for throwing back at a braai or enjoying poolside, and they are sure to become a popular choice for social occasions this summer.

With two classic flavours, Mixed Berry and Lemon Zest, the Southfields range is made from sparkling water with a hint of natural fruit flavour and a splash of vodka. Both flavours offer a light, clean taste and have just two grams of sugar and 100 calories per 300ml can. Delicious, and easy-drinking, they’re an easy alternative to more sugary or carb-luscious drinks like beer and other pre-mixed alcopops. While many other hard seltzers on the market are malt-based or gin-based, Southfields sticks with the classic vodka base.
Available in 4-packs with plastic-free, recyclable packaging, Southfields hard seltzers will also appeal to those looking to reduce their reliance on single-use plastic. They’re also naturally gluten-free, with no additives or preservatives.
Southfields is now available at select liquor outlets and online.
