Quick Facts: ABV: 4.5%  |  Origin: Modesto, California  |  Style: Vodka-Based Hard Iced Tea  |  Producer: E. & J. Gallo Winery

Production & Heritage

High Noon is produced by E. & J. Gallo Winery out of Modesto, California, one of the largest wine and spirits companies in the United States. The vodka base undergoes five rounds of distillation using Midwest-grown corn, yielding a clean, neutral spirit that lets tea and fruit flavors come through without harsh grain character. Unlike the vast majority of hard seltzers and ready-to-drink teas on the market, this Iced Tea line is intentionally non-carbonated — a deliberate choice that mimics the mouthfeel and drinking experience of traditional brewed iced tea.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh brewed black tea leads, followed by a gentle sweetness and subtle grain-neutral vodka warmth. Fruit-forward varieties layer in ripe peach or tart raspberry over the tea base.

Taste: The Original flavor drinks remarkably close to sweetened iced tea, with a velvety smooth texture and no perceptible alcohol bite. Peach delivers a juicy, true-to-fruit character that tastes like fresh peach juice blended into tea. Raspberry is bolder, leaning tart with a distinctive black tea backbone that emerges on the mid-palate.

Finish: Light and clean across all varieties, with a rounded, slightly earthy close on the Original. Sweetness never becomes cloying despite containing no added sugar, fading quickly and leaving a refreshing tea-like dryness.

How to Drink High Noon Iced Tea

Serve ice-cold straight from the can or poured over fresh ice in a tall glass for the most authentic iced tea experience. A lemon wedge squeezed into the Original variety amplifies the brewed tea character. For a twist on a Long Island, use the Original as your topping liquid in place of cola — the real tea base adds depth. The Peach flavor works well as a light Arnold Palmer riff when combined with a splash of fresh lemonade. Raspberry pours nicely into a punch bowl alongside fresh berries and mint for a crowd-friendly summer cocktail.

• Backyard cookouts and pool days where a lighter ABV is preferred
• Iced tea lovers looking for an adult version without carbonation
• Stocking a cooler with a crowd-pleasing variety for guests with different flavor preferences

Frequently Asked Questions

What does High Noon Iced Tea taste like?

Is High Noon Iced Tea worth the price? High Noon positions as a mid-range ready-to-drink option that commands a slight premium over malt-based competitors, justified by its real vodka base and non-carbonated format — two distinctions most rivals in the hard tea space do not offer.

Why High Noon Iced Tea?

The defining advantage here is the base spirit: five-times-distilled corn vodka produces a noticeably cleaner canvas than the malt-liquor or fermented-sugar bases used by most hard teas and seltzers. The non-carbonated format is a genuine differentiator in a category dominated by fizz, delivering a drinking experience that actually feels like iced tea rather than a flavored sparkling water. The Tasting Panel Magazine recognized the broader High Noon lineup as the Best Tasting Seltzer two years running, and Taste of Home ranked it the top hard seltzer in a 2023 head-to-head of ten brands. For anyone who wants a real-tasting hard iced tea without the heaviness of malt, this 8-pack covers the range.
