We all know that hard seltzers are all the craze right now. Light, refreshing, flavorful… That’s our jam! However, we like to keep things fancy, so we’ve been making our own hard seltzers with a Quady twist.

Below are two Quady hard seltzer recipes that are simple yet delicious. They’re absolutely perfect for warm days, as afternoon sippers and as party “pleasers”. So rather than offering the usual canned hard seltzer that everyone has already tried, let’s get creative, make your own, and wow your guests!

1 part Quady Essensia Orange Muscat

2 parts Club soda or seltzer water
1 part Quady Elysium Black Muscat

Our Essensia Orange Muscat and Elysium Black Muscat Dessert Wines have been around for some time, and they’ve been finding their way into more and more mixed drinks and cocktails than ever before. The Muscat varieties we use for these two wines (and others!) are full of smile inducing flavors and aroma. With their balance of sweetness and acidity, they make the ideal mixers. In fact, we have dozens of recipes on our website using these two wines as cocktail mixers: The Essensia Margarita, Jingle Juice, The Summer Peach, The Sparkling Elysium, The Elysium Sour, and more!
