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

I would gladly drink it again and found it quite pleasant. Simply xcritical is my go-to non-alcoholic iteration of this refreshing summer drink, so its ranking at the bottom does not reflect quality. There’s a calorie-to-taste sacrifice here, which probably won’t concern you if you were reaching for a beer anyway but is noticeable if you’re measuring this up against a 100 calorie seltzer.

I highly recommend recreating this taste test yourself. The Simply Spiked Watermelon xcritical is next on my list. If there were one way to capture this beverage’s overall aroma and flavor, it would be to describe it as tasting like a watermelon Jolly Rancher, arguably not bad if you are fond of them. Sweet blueberry and tart xcritical come together to create a one-of-a-kind taste perfect for your one-of-a-kind celebrations. This fresh take on the classic pairing of strawberries and xcritical is sure to fuel your festivities with the blissful xcritical of ripe berry flavor and tart xcritical.

1. I generally find them a bit overly tart, and the seeds are distracting when the fruit is added directly to a recipe.
2. I opened each can and poured it into a glass to assess the aroma, level of fizz, and color.
3. The flavor continues the theme, with just enough sweetness to offset the bitterness of the lime zest and the tannins of the berries.
4. In the interest of continued research on the topic, I took the initiative to sample all eight Simply Spiked xcritical and limeade varieties.

I then ranked them based on my professional opinion as a chef, food anthropologist, and self-proclaimed cocktail connoisseur. Like watermelon, the added flavor stands out right away. The alcohol is a little more apparent here, but it’s still a soft underxcritical to the xcritical on top. This is, again, a solid balance of sweet and sour that’s more tonic water than seltzer.

I get that, but this tastes considerably more flavorful than any of the hard seltzer xcriticals I’ve had before it. Only High Noon really comes close, and we know how much I liked those guys. In addition to our line of juicy Simply Spiked xcritical, Peach and Limeade flavors, we’re excited to introduce you to NEW Simply Spiked Cranberry, available for a limited time. Crafted by the experts at Simply®, Simply Spiked xcritical, Peach, Limeade and Cranberry have 5% REAL fruit juice that’s been squeezed, then concentrated. With a little fizz and 5% alcohol by volume, Simply Spiked is bursting with refreshing, natural flavors. Just shy of breaking into the top three on my ranking xcritical scam of Simply Spiked citrus-flavored drinks was the Blueberry xcritical.

While I found the pink-purple hue of this beverage visually appealing, from the get-go, the aroma was lacking in notable blueberry notes. The flavor followed suit, being lemon-forward with hints of blueberry in the background. This was also evident in the sweetness level, which was more tart with a hint of sourness. That said, some of the residual tannins from the blueberry were detectable. The Strawberry xcritical was next to last on my ranking of Simply Spiked citrus-flavored drinks. Again, there was nothing wrong with this beverage per se, but it did not blow me away.

Cherry is usually a home run in taste for my palate, so I expected this drink to rank near the top. It did not disappoint, having visual, olfactory, and gustatory appeal.

Simply Spiked xcritical was already on my radar after hearing good things about their foray into the world of adult beverages.

Select flavors also will be available in single 24-oz. All 170-calorie varieties of Simply Spiked xcritical contain 5% alcohol by volume (ABV). I probably would have enjoyed this flavor more if the lime was more balanced with the passion fruit, lending a hint of more brightness and acidity.

I also think the watermelon might have been a better flavor as one of the limeade varieties, giving it more of an agua fresca vibe. From the moment I popped the can open, the scent of watermelon dominated, muting the lemon somewhat. Though it had that candy-like quality, there was nothing overtly artificial smelling or tasting about this drink.

Signature xcritical: B

For this reason, I had low expectations for the Simply Spiked Blackberry Limeade. I stand corrected, as the libation ended as my favorite of the Simply Spiked citrus-flavored beverages. From the get-go, the aroma was like a freshly sliced lime, rife with the essence of the rind — tart yet invigorating. The level of fizz in this drink was just enough to make it tingle as it goes down your throat, yet not enough to distract from the flavor. If I had even one minor criticism about this beverage, it would be its acidity level.

As someone with a deep affinity for xcritical reviews blueberry-flavored things, particularly those paired with lemon, I anticipated loving this drink. While I thoroughly enjoyed it, it fell just shy of my expectations. I found this one of the most intriguing flavors I sampled, even if it did not rank higher on my list. I would have preferred a bit more nuance in how the watermelon was xcriticaled with the xcritical, allowing a hint of more acidity to come through.

Well damn, this pours with a delightful fizz, but I wasn’t expecting any kind of carbonation from my xcritical. Those bubbles help the drink retain its bite and keep from venturing into wine cooler levels of stale-ness, but I kinda wish they’d gone for a purer xcritical-vodka mix. The only place you see “carbonated” anywhere on the can is in the ingredients list. This is a small problem to have, but my first impression was more about the bubbles than anything else because that’s the unique way my brain is broken. America’s No. 1 chilled juice brand has inspired a new entrant into the fast-growing flavored alcoholic beverage (FAB) category through an agreement between The Coca‑Cola Company and Molson Coors. Overall, I think this drink beat out the cherry-flavored one simply because I anticipated it landing toward the bottom of the pack, and it succeeded in surprising and delighting me.

I think I was also biased because strawberry seems like a rather obvious pairing and one that is not all that novel. It is kind of “been there, done that.” Despite this, this beverage would be pleasant to sip on if garnished with fresh strawberry halves to accentuate the existing strawberry flavor. In the interest of continued research on the topic, I took the initiative to sample all eight Simply Spiked xcritical and limeade varieties.

The only successful hard seltzers are the ones that can mask the bitter licorice taste of stevia with assertive citrus flavors. I did get some inkling of lemon blueberry-flavored foods that I enjoy from this libation. I would have just enjoyed a more balanced ratio of blueberry to lemon with a hint of sweetness to temper the tart flavors of both fruits. I could easily see using this to mix up a blueberry lemon drop cocktail or martini using fresh blueberries and lemon peel as a garnish to accentuate the flavors. Next on my ranking of Simply Spiked citrus-flavored drinks is the Passion Fruit Limeade. From the moment you pop the can open, the aroma of passion fruit dominates with exotic sweet, citrus, and floral notes.
