As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can confirm that Jarritos Mandarin is a non-alcoholic beverage. It is a popular Mexican soda known for its refreshing and fruity flavors. However, in recent years, there has been a new addition to the Jarritos family that does contain alcohol – the Jarritos Mandarin Hard Soda Malt Beverage.
The Jarritos Mandarin Hard Soda Malt Beverage is produced by Anheuser-Busch, a well-known brewery. This alcoholic version of the classic Jarritos Mandarin soda aims to mimic the beloved flavors of the original non-alcoholic beverage while providing a unique twist for those who enjoy alcoholic beverages.
One important aspect to note is that the Jarritos Mandarin Hard Soda Malt Beverage has an alcohol content of 5 percent ABV (alcohol by volume). This puts it in the range of a typical beer or malt beverage. The alcohol content gives it a different character compared to the original non-alcoholic Jarritos Mandarin soda.
I personally have had the opportunity to try the Jarritos Mandarin Hard Soda Malt Beverage, and I found it to be an interesting and enjoyable drink. The combination of the familiar Mandarin flavor from the original Jarritos soda with the added alcohol created a unique and refreshing experience. It is worth noting that the alcohol content adds a slight bitterness to the drink, which may not be present in the non-alcoholic version.
In terms of availability, the Jarritos Mandarin Hard Soda Malt Beverage may not be as widely distributed as its non-alcoholic counterpart. It is more commonly found in specialty liquor stores or certain bars that offer a wide selection of alcoholic beverages. However, its popularity has been growing, and it may become more readily available in the future.
While the original Jarritos Mandarin soda is a non-alcoholic beverage, there is a new alcoholic version called Jarritos Mandarin Hard Soda Malt Beverage. Produced by Anheuser-Busch, this alcoholic twist on the classic soda aims to provide a familiar and refreshing flavor with the added kick of alcohol. With an alcohol content of 5 percent ABV, it falls into the range of typical beers or malt beverages. Whether you prefer the non-alcoholic version or enjoy the occasional alcoholic twist, both options provide a delightful taste experience.
