2020 Best New Products Awards Winner: Flavored Malt Beverages

Mighty Swell Cherry Lime, Mighty Swell

The hard seltzer train does not seem to be slowing down, not even in a pandemic. Consumers who used to drink it at bars are now buying it for home. Mighty Swell fits the flavor-forward seltzer niche that is overlooked by the zero-sugar and low-calorie alternatives, according to the company. In a 12-ounce can, the beverage boasts 100 calories, 3 grams of sugar, a 5 percent ABV and, unlike some other brands, real fruit juice. Panelists ranked the cherry lime flavor as the best.
