Description

Ingredients: typically made with brewed black tea, a malt alcohol base, sweeteners, and natural lemon flavor.

Alcohol content: 4% ABV.

Carbonation: Twisted Tea Light is non-carbonated, giving it a smoother, still-drink texture compared with many beers and hard seltzers.

What Makes the Light Version Different

Lower in sugar and calories: Compared with the original Twisted Tea, the Light version contains significantly less sugar and fewer calories per serving.

Non-carbonated: The absence of carbonation gives the drink a smoother texture and may appeal to people who prefer still alcoholic beverages.

Things to Consider

Contains alcohol: At 4% ABV, Twisted Tea Light is still an alcoholic beverage. Regular or excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of dependence and a range of long-term health problems.

Provides calories with little nutritional value: Although it contains less sugar than the original version, most of its calories still come from alcohol and added carbohydrates rather than essential nutrients.

Lower calorie does not mean risk-free: A lighter alcohol beverage may contain fewer calories and less sugar, but the health risks associated with alcohol remain.

Not suitable for everyone: Alcohol should be avoided during pregnancy, by anyone under the legal drinking age, when driving or operating machinery, and by people who have been advised to avoid alcohol because of certain medical conditions or medications.
