When it comes to spiked seltzer, Bon & Viv kind of started it all. Originally called SpikedSeltzer, Bon & Viv was the first spiked seltzer brand ever born in 2012. We have Connecticut-based beverage entrepreneur Nick Shields to thank for Bon & Viv and the many bubbly beverages that have come since, and also creating a billion-dollar industry. Shields first got the idea for spiked seltzer as he watched a group of women order vodka sodas. He decided he could create a similar beverage and mass produce it, later selling SpikedSeltzer to beer giant Anheuser-Busch, who rebranded the beverage to what we see today. Though Bon & Viv, and most other spiked seltzers don’t contain vodka, it has become a go-to drink for many people who want to have a lightly flavored cocktail. Speaking of light, Bon Viv only has 90 calories per can and 0 grams of sugar. We’re happy to present the following Bon Viv hard seltzer reviews.
