As you get hype for patio season, or as you look to up your happy hour game year-round, you may be on the lookout for new boozy sips. Whether you're hoping for a citrusy lemonade or a hard seltzer inspired by tropical fruit, there are plenty of new hard seltzers launching in 2021. From familiar brands like Bud Light to hard seltzer newcomers like Mike's Hard Lemonade and AriZona Iced Tea, there's pretty much a vibe for any hard seltzer drinker.

If the the infamous White Claw shortage of 2019 wasn't enough to prove that people are hype about imbibing in bubbly, fruity sips that come in the now ubiquitous slim can, then the many new flavors launching in 2021 might help to show this trend is not slowing down. While there are always the traditional malt alcohol-based options with a refreshing fruity flavor, there are also some new twists joining the game, like iced tea hard seltzers and lemonade-inspired sips.

Whatever type of hard seltzer you prefer, you'll likely find a new favorite to add to your fridge, because there are plenty launching this year. If you're 21 years or older, you can give them all a try and see if you might even find a new go-to sip. This post will be updated with new hard seltzers as they're announced throughout 2021.
