The Take
Simply Spiked Lemonade is not healthy. It is a fermented malt beverage loaded with cane sugar that markets itself as lemonade with a kick.
The 18 grams of sugar per 12-ounce can plus the corporate collab between Coca-Cola and Molson Coors turns it into an ultra-processed easy-sipper that spikes then crashes your energy.
The Verdict
This canned booze signals easy summer drinking while delivering the opposite: a malt-heavy sugar load that feels like juice but acts like cheap beer. The brand LARP only works if you ignore the ultra-processed label and the 3 a.m. regret.
Skip Simply Spiked. Buy real lemon juice plus vodka or a local hard cider instead.
