Viva Tequila Seltzer Elderberry

Viva Tequila Seltzer Elderberry is designed for drinkers who want a real tequila experience in a crisp, modern hard seltzer format. Instead of relying on fermented cane sugar or malt like many spiked seltzers, Viva starts with premium blanco tequila and layers in natural fruit flavors and light carbonation. The result is a cleaner, smoother profile with none of the heavy, syrupy sweetness that can weigh other canned drinks down. 

The star here is elderberry, a berry tied closely to the Pacific Northwest and known for its deep, dark character. In this can, elderberry shows up as gently earthy and floral with a pleasantly tart edge, landing somewhere between blackberries and blueberries on the palate. Light carbonation keeps each sip refreshing rather than cloying, so the berry notes stay bright and lifted instead of sticky or jammy. 

From a “better-for-you” standpoint, Viva Elderberry is built to slot into an active, social lifestyle. Each 12 oz can delivers just 88 calories with 0g sugar and 0g carbs, and it’s gluten-free. That means you’re getting a full-flavor tequila seltzer without loading up on hidden sugars or unnecessary fillers. At 4.5% ABV, it sits in that comfortable space where one can feels like a real drink, but you can still enjoy a few over the course of an afternoon or evening. 

Viva Elderberry isn’t just a niche flavor, either. The elderberry expression helped propel Viva to the top of the category, earning the title of #1 Hard Seltzer in the world at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2022, no small feat in a field that included hundreds of entries from major national brands. 

Practical, portable, and ready to chill, Viva Tequila Seltzer Elderberry is a strong fit for tailgates, beach days, cookouts, or anytime you want something more interesting than a basic seltzer but lighter than a full cocktail. It’s a straightforward proposition: real tequila, real flavor, sessionable strength, and numbers that work for health-conscious drinkers.
