Loverboy Vacay Vibes Variety 8Pk

Loverboy Vacay Vibes Variety 8Pk is an eight-can variety pack of organic brewed tea malt beverages at 4.2% ABV.

Production & Heritage

Loverboy launched out of New York with a clear mission: build a better-for-you ready-to-drink beverage using clean ingredients. Each flavor in the Vacay Vibes lineup starts with organic brewed tea, which is then combined with botanicals and gluten-free alcohol. Rather than loading cans with cane sugar or artificial sweeteners, Loverboy uses monk fruit to achieve its sweetness, keeping each 12 oz serving at zero sugar and approximately 90 calories. The result is a lighter-bodied, tea-forward malt beverage that separates itself from conventional hard seltzers and sugar-heavy canned cocktails.

Tasting Notes

White Tea Peach: Delicate white tea forms the base, with ripe stone fruit sweetness riding gently across the palate. Soft, clean, and subtly floral.

Mango Pear: Tropical mango leads the aroma, followed by crisp pear on the mid-palate that keeps the sweetness in check. Light-bodied with a dry, refreshing close.

Hibiscus Lime: Tart hibiscus and bright citrus hit first, giving this flavor the most acidity of the four. A slightly tangy finish makes it particularly thirst-quenching.

Pineapple Hibiscus: Juicy pineapple dominates the entry, while hibiscus adds an earthy, berry-like undercurrent. The finish is fruity and dry with minimal lingering sweetness.

How to Drink Vacay Vibes

These are best served ice-cold, straight from the can or poured over ice. Their low ABV and clean finish make them ideal session drinks for warm-weather gatherings. For a simple upgrade, pour Hibiscus Lime over crushed ice with a sprig of fresh mint for a mocktail-adjacent serve. The White Tea Peach works as a base for a low-ABV Peach Spritz — top with a splash of sparkling wine and a lemon twist. Pineapple Hibiscus pairs well in a rum punch bowl, adding tea complexity alongside light rum, fresh lime, and a dash of bitters.

Best For

• Beach days, pool parties, and backyard cookouts where sessionability matters
• Health-conscious drinkers seeking zero-sugar, gluten-free options with real flavor
• Stocking a cooler with crowd-pleasing variety that avoids heavy malt sweetness
• Introducing someone who dislikes hard seltzers to a tea-based alternative

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Vacay Vibes taste like? The four flavors share a common thread of light, tea-driven refreshment with fruit-forward profiles ranging from soft peach and pear to tart hibiscus and tropical pineapple. They are noticeably less sweet than many competing RTDs, with a clean, dry finish.

Is Vacay Vibes worth the price? Loverboy positions itself in the premium RTD tier, justified by its organic ingredients, monk fruit sweetener, and zero-sugar formulation — a step above mass-market hard seltzers in both ingredient quality and flavor complexity.

Why Vacay Vibes?

The RTD and hard seltzer market is saturated with brands chasing the same flavor profiles using similar base ingredients. Loverboy's Vacay Vibes pack distinguishes itself through its organic brewed tea foundation — not just flavored carbonated water with alcohol. The monk fruit sweetener delivers perceptible sweetness without the sugar load or chemical aftertaste that plagues many zero-sugar competitors. At 4.2% ABV and 90 calories, these are genuinely sessionable without sacrificing flavor depth. For drinkers who have grown tired of the hard seltzer formula but still want a light, clean, gluten-free option, this pack delivers a meaningful alternative.
