Aldi’s Vista Bay Hard Seltzer Lemonade is the summer beverage find

Heading to Aldi this weekend? Vista Bay Hard Seltzer Lemonade has hit store shelves and it might be the summer beverage find. While most Aldi shoppers know that the beverage aisle is brimming with refreshment, the newest offering deserves prime space in that shopping cart. Ready to crack open a can?

Many Aldi shoppers are familiar with Vista Bay and its hard seltzer line. While the hard seltzer trend only continues to grow, beverage brands are looking to expand beyond the traditional flavors. Adding a lemonade forward option has become a popular choice.

Summer and lemonade often got hand in hand. On a warm day, lemonade is refreshing because the tartness can make people drink a little more. As the sun hits hit in the sky, the hand reaches for the glass time and again.

What are the Vista Bay Hard Seltzer Lemonade flavors?

Available now and all summer long, the Aldi-exclusive, Vista Bay Hard Seltzer Lemonade is sold in a 12-can variety pack. The flavors include, “original, mango, strawberry and black cherry.” The variety pack sells for $12.99.

Although this item will be available all summer, like any great Aldi find, it is always best to grab it when you see it on store shelves. No one wants to be left out on the must have item.

While these hard seltzers are great served chilled, the beverages do lend themselves to some creative cocktails. One option that Aldi recommends Green Tea Ginger Lemon Cooler. Luckily, the brand shared the recipe.
