Developed by Molson Coors Beverage Company, this line was purpose-built as a still (flat) alternative to carbonated hard seltzers, directly addressing the bloating and discomfort many drinkers associate with bubbly ready-to-drink options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 4.4%  |  Origin: United States  |  Style: Non-Carbonated Spiked Refresher  |  Producer: Molson Coors Beverage Company\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHappy Thursday emerged from a viral TikTok trend in which Gen Z drinkers used milk frothers to decarbonate hard seltzers like White Claw and Truly before drinking them. Molson Coors saw the behavior as a clear product gap and developed a purpose-made still spiked refresher rather than forcing consumers to hack their own. The base is a flavored alcohol blend sweetened with a combination of sugar, fruit juice concentrates, and stevia, with no carbonation added at any stage of production. The result lands somewhere between a juice-forward cooler and a lightly boosted sports drink—frequently described by consumers as resembling an \"alcoholic Vitaminwater.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light, candy-like fruit aromatics lead, followed by a gentle citrus brightness.
