Keylime is better
Key Lime is good too
Actually, for a while, Key Lime was my favorite. But, if you're a true hydrohomie like I am, you're drinking at least a 12 pack per day. Yesterday I went to the store and bought 5 cases. Gotta stay sharp. Water is the elixir of life - the eternal source of youth, recovery, and fitness. When you start to crush these drinks every few minutes, all day all night and even in the shower, the flavors need to be able to hold the test of time. I think I would be able to have a case of Key Lime every now and then and it is kind of special because not all the stores have it. I can crush Lime or Grapefruit all day.
But, overall I'll have to pick up a 12 pack of Key Lime next time I see it - its taste and aftertaste are really well done. It tastes like a genuine flavor that pairs well with the water and bubbles. Not chemical tasting at all. I'm amazed they can develop these flavors in a lab. We are blessed for bubbly technology to have come this far. What a great world it is we live in - cheers.
Waterloo Grape. It’s the only one you’ll ever need
Bubly: Cherry and Peach are both super good but I dig all their flavors.
This is the most Chad post I've ever seen
Whiteclaw, black cherry.
I'm sorry but I judge hard people who drink hard seltzer.
Like you couldn't pick up a real drink? You're not in college anymore.
That’s fine bro, I’ll crush a few extra for you at brunch today while you argue on reddit, sipping your 3x Dijon mustard IPA.
Spindrift.
It is superior to all other seltzer waters.
Only ingredients are carbonated water and fruit juices.
I like grapefruit.
Agreed. Tastes way better.
You've come to the right place. In IB choosing the right seltzer brand can be a monumental decision in your career trajectory. I still remember the first time my MD glanced knowingly at my choice of bubbly and nodded his head in approval.
A true seltzer connoisseur knows that there is only one brand, superior above all else. Forget about perrier, the bubbles are too weak and the name too foreign for a self respecting NYC banker. Forget about bubbly, lacroix, or waterloo: they feel too new age, and too nouveau rich. Your sipping seltzer, not going to the club. Your drink should match your unhurried attitude about life that comes with a man being confident in his understated yet classy approach to his beverages.
So in my mind, there are only 3 options (ranked):
If you really want to display dominance at the desk, nothing will convey your attitude better then Vintage, which is why it is my #1 brand. The bubbles are massive and you practically have to consume them with a fork and knife. The bottle is gigantic (this is where the bankers bottles and models originally comes from), and nothing makes a bankers presence more intimidating than fisting a cold bottle of vintage and painfully forcing down large gulps (the process should be painful or you are doing it wrong). On a bonus the aesthetic is visually pleasuing (harkons back to days of old when men were men and "bankers hours" meant at the golf course at 2). The look is dignified and slightly exotic, you and old jewish men are the only ones to have mastered the Vintage chugging.
Polar is everything Vintage is, but modernized. It has a sleeker aesthetic and more pleasing variety of flavors, plus a good mouthfeel. Despite this, I am in the opinion that second place is just the first one to lose, so in my mind polar isn't often worth considering unless you are in company of blatant anti-semites, or front office civilians and you need to get on their good side.
Canned private label is great for a trip, good for pointing at your analyst while you bark at him (a can gives your hand some heft while you are pointing out flaws in your underlings DCF), plus the "tinny" taste left by the can really goes great with chilled seltzer water. It is the closest reminder to seltzer. Just please, if you are drinking cans don't be uncouth and go for any flavors other than unflavored, it is an undignified look and will immediately let folks know that you didn't go to a target.
If you are a girl banker you can discount everything I have said. Come into the building sipping on a vintage and people will write you up to HR for over-agression and think of you as a messy philistine.
Good call on Vintage (they make a great club soda and diet tonic too) but I've got a couple questions:
Thanks I absolutely love vintage but people do look at my like I am a mongoloid for carrying around my 1 LT vintage bottles, they sell 12 pack for 6.59 at costco.
In order:
AHA by Coca Cola is decent. Orange and Strawberry Cucumber is fire.
Grapefruit topo chico is liquid gold
50/50 plain seltzer water mixed with this and a splash of cranberry
Spindrift.
Waterloo (Grapefruit)
White Claw
As a Seltzer man, here are my top two plays: 1. Polar Easily my top choice. So many unique flavors that actually taste good. Orange Cream is absolutely fantastic, and so is the Dark Cherry. They got fun flavors too like Blueberry Lemonade and Blood Orange. All of the flavors pack a punch with the carbonation. You can catch me on a Sunday lunch drinking a can, sometimes two:
La Croix is meh at best and I found Spindrift to not have the kick that the Polar or AHA had.
Topo Chico or bust
I don’t drink flavored seltzer because I have a penis
