Cult drink White Claw finally launches in the UK and here's where you can buy it

With the warmer weather sticking around for longer than five minutes, we can officially declare it ‘can weather’ - nothing beats relaxing with friends in a park, having a picnic or reaching in the fridge for a pre-made alcoholic beverage of your choice.

Hard Seltzers seem to be having a moment and fans of the US cult drink White Claw can finally breathe as it’s launching on UK soil and in a Sainsbury’s near you.

With over 160,000 tag uses on Instagram alone, it was dubbed as the 'drink of summer' last year when it exploded onto the US celebrity scene.

The refreshing tipple of choice is landing on the shelves of 245 Sainsbury’s stores and available online from the 1st June. Priced at £2.50 a can, there are only 95 calories per serving and an ABV of 4.5%, it’s ideal for those of us looking for a low-calorie and low-alcohol beverage.

Available to purchase in Raspberry, Black Cherry and Lime flavours, White Claw Hard Seltzer is ideal for those seeking a new way to enjoy alcohol this summer.

Made using a sparkling water, triple distilled spirit and a hint of natural fruit flavour, this thirst-quenching choice delivers a wave of pure refreshment with no artificial sweeteners. Currently taking the US market by storm - over 240% sales growth in 2019 - the low-calorie, ready-to-drink canned beverages from White Claw are set to make a splash when they launch in the UK this June.

White Claw takes its inspiration from the legend of the White Claw wave and its sun-soaked, beach-life influence deems it this year’s most-wanted canned alcoholic beverage.

For those who enjoy a slightly bitter taste, White Claw Hard Seltzer Raspberry has a great balance of both tart tastes to tantalise your taste buds. Alternatively, for those with a sweeter tooth, opt for White Claw Hard Seltzer Black Cherry, bursting with luscious maraschino cherry flavours.

Rosie McKay, Buyer for Sainsbury’s, said: "We’re thrilled to bring a much-loved US brand to our customers here in the UK. We’ve seen that the popularity for seltzer-style serves has soared in recent months, with many customers now opting for lower calorie alternatives to wine and beer. Although summer may look a little different for us all this year, we still know our customers want unique and exciting new products to try and enjoy at home."

And this isn’t the only Hard Seltzer that’s recently launched on the UK market.

Kopparberg recently tapped into the Hard Seltzer market. There are three bold and refreshing flavours to try - mixed Berries, Black Cherry and Passionfruit.
