Beverage of the Week: Simply got spiked lemonade (almost) exactly right

Welcome back to FTW’s Beverage of the Week series. Previously, we’ve folded these in to our betting guides, whether that’s been for the NFL slate or a bizarrely successful run through the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Here, we mostly chronicle and review beers, but happily expand that scope to any beverage that pairs well with sports. Yes, even cookie dough whiskey

Like I’ve said before, I’m open to trying just about anything. But after being tricked into sipping sunscreen salad dressing (TikTok’s healthy Cokes), I needed a win.

Simply Spiked Lemonade was already on my radar after hearing good things about their foray into the world of adult beverages. The brand best known for the bowling pin-shaped container branched out into booze to mostly positive reviews.

Would it be the new hotness in a market that’s turned hard to beer alternatives in the summer months? Or would White Claw’s unfortunate foray into lemonade be the template for disappointment?
