When the Spice Girls first instructed people of the world to spice up their lives, I'm 99 percent sure they were preemptively giving us permission to chug VIVE's new pumpkin spice-flavored hard seltzer [1]. Yep, you read the last part of that sentence correctly, folks. Two of the most ubiquitous drink trends to grace this planet — pumpkin spice and spiked sparkling water [2] — are coming together in one can, and I'm honestly surprised it took until now to happen.
Like many other boozy seltzers on the market [3], VIVE's forthcoming pumpkin spice flavor contains 5 percent ABV, 2 grams of carbs, and 100 calories per can. The packaging describes it as a "crisp," "light," and "refreshing" beverage, which aren't quite the words that come to mind when I enjoy a PSL, but I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to those carbonated bubbles.
So, how can you get your hands on this intriguing seasonal sip? VIVE is releasing six-packs this September, just in time for fall — but only at Kroger stores across Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Looks like it's time to dial up your Great Aunt Patty in Nashville and convince her to mail you a case!
