Watch Out, White Claw: Smirnoff Is Stepping Up Its Hard Seltzer Game

It's no secret that all of us on the Kicks Wake Up Krew are huge fans of White Claw--and no, that's not an ad or a paid endorsement. We just really, REALLY like hard seltzer drinks.

Trulys and Natty Light Seltzers will do in a pinch, but White Claws have remained the unparalleled standard when it comes to boozy seltzer drinks--until now.

Smirnoff has just upped the ante with its newest product: spiked seltzers with eight--yes, EIGHT percent alcohol. (That's nearly double the alcohol content of their original hard seltzer line, which pack a 4.5 percent punch.)

These new ultra-boozy spiked Smirnoffs come in two flavors, blackberry and blood orange, with more flavors expected to be released in the future.

That level of alcohol content will sneak up on ya, so remember to enjoy responsibly.
