A Tropical Travesty in a Can
If you've ever wondered what it's like to drink a tropical vacation gone terribly, terribly wrong, then allow me to introduce you to the Hard Ketones Pina Colada Seltzer. This beverage promises an "alcohol alternative with a real buzz," but the only thing buzzing after a sip of this concoction might be your gag reflex.Imagine, if you will, basking under the sun, slathered in coconut-scented sunscreen, your lips poised to sip on what you expect to be a delightful Pina Colada. Now, imagine that instead of a drink, you accidentally gulp down the sunscreen itself. Congratulations, you've just experienced the flavor profile of this so-called seltzer.With 4.5% Ketohol, 0 carbs, and 75 calories, one might expect a light and breezy experience, akin to feeling the sand between your toes and a warm breeze on your face. Instead, you get the gust of a hurricane in your mouth, complete with the debris of artificial coconut flavoring that sticks to your palate like tar to a roof.The aftertaste? Oh, the aftertaste could be used as a bio-weapon. It lingers longer than the unwanted houseguests who come for the holidays and decides to overstay their welcome. This isn't the kind of aftertaste you forget; it haunts you, creeping into your dreams like a boogeyman with a blender.And let's talk about this mythical "Ketohol" buzz. It's less like the pleasant fuzziness of a few beachside cocktails and more like the feeling you get when you realize your swimsuit is on inside out and backwards—in public. It's a confusing, disorienting sensation that leaves you questioning your life choices, particularly the choice to crack open this can of deceit.The can itself, adorned with promises of a booze-free buzz and zero sugar, sits on the shelf like a siren calling to weary sailors. But beware, my friends, for this siren song leads not to a paradise isle but to the rocky shores of Regretsville, population: you.Why, oh why, did I subject myself to this beverage? Was it curiosity? A misplaced sense of adventure? Whatever it was, Amazon's rigid review policy only allows a minimum of one star, and so one star it shall be. If I could, I would plunge this product into the depths of a zero-star abyss, where not even light can escape.So, dear reader, consider yourself warned. This Pina Colada Seltzer isn’t a ticket to tropical bliss but a one-way journey to flavor purgatory. Avoid at all costs, unless you’re collecting samples for a study on the adverse effects of tragic drink choices. In that case, bottoms up—you brave, brave soul.

Taste is Delicious 10/10
I’m doing the 75 Hard Challenge right now and I can’t have cheat meals or alcohol. My diet I’m sticking to is Keto. I joined the Ketoneaid Facebook group and CEO Frank Llosa personally reached out to ask how I heard of them. I said I was looking up ketones. After discussing I say this ketohol on their website. I ordered from Amazon to have it delivered quickly. Both my wife and I are impressed with the taste of Piña Colada, and the effects do mirror that of alcohol. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a seltzer style drink with a twist.

I got the buzz
The buzz: From the reviews and reddit, it seems people are affected differently with the buzz. I chugged maybe ⅓ of the can and am feeling a decent buzz that slowly tapered off over about 10-15 minutes.The flavor: it smells great, and initially tastes good. But as soon as you swallow, the after taste is pretty bad. To be fair, I didn't completely chill it overnight because I was too excited to try it. Once I chilled with ice and it melted a bit, the bitter aftertaste was much less pronounced.Verdict: 4/5, but YMMV. It's not very pleasant, but if you're looking for an alternative to alcohol, this is pretty fantastic. I recommend ordering one to at least experiment with it. After all, the effects seem to be worth it compared to normal alcohol!(If I don't come back to edit this then I didn't get a hangover, or possibly the hangover was so severe that I couldn't function. Either way I'm ordering more.)

No buzz
I didn't enjoy this beverage. It's a very expensive seltzer with a funny flavor. I definitely didn't get the slightest buzz, but I understand that it's subjective. For reference, I'm a light weight when it comes to alcohol. I only drink wine, usually with food, and I can feel a buzz from a single glass. I never do shots or drink hard liquor, so...

I don't drink. Thought this would be fun.
It's whatever, didn't really feel anything, i don't drink alcohol so I'm not replacing it for any reason. When I sip alcohol I feel the effects pretty quickly, a can of this and I wouldn't have thought anything different if I wasn't looking for signs.

Great, relaxing product
Unlike most functional beverages, this one genuinely gives a relaxed feeling. You will notice it! However, it does not make me feel inebriated or impaired. Great taste. I have been buying a ton lately and bringing them to parties, giving them to friends, and such. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Puke in a can!
It taste like cough medicine spiked with tire fire lol! I really wanted to like these as I have been looking for an alcohol sub. They def need to work on the taste if they want to sell mainstream. I did feel a pretty pronounced buzz from it. Kind of felt like when I am really sick and take a double shot of cough medicine with DXM in it. Like a little heady and dissociative.
