Lucky One Claims the Crown in Our Hard Tea Challenge

Featuring adorable Pitbull Miss Peaches on its labels, this noncarbonated hard tea raises the bar for the category. It contains no artificial colors or high-fructose corn syrup.

It’s not just luck: Lucky One beat the steep(ed) competition in our recent blind-tasting challenge, earning the title of NUMBER-ONE BEST-TASTING HARD TEA from our panel of judges. Each expression was infused not only with alcohol but with a little rebellion, and our staff singled out Lucky One for its sweeter, fuller flavor and the consistency with which it delivered an authentic black-tea character; Arnold Palmer and Happy Dad were the runners-up. (Fun fact: Lucky One has donated $2 million over the past two years to help rescue dogs find their forever homes, supporting Best Friends Animal Society and LifeLine Animal Project.)
