Mike's Hard Lemonade Co. has decided to tap into the Dirty Soda fad that's been happening lately, as Mike's Hard Lemonade has four new "Dirty" flavors arriving in time for Spring Break and the Summer.

Experience a "Dirty" Version of Mike's Hard Lemonade With Four New Flavors

Leading the launch are Sonny, Cal, and Tina: three unique lemons, one unmatched taste — representing the character of Mike's itself. They're bold, zesty, and a little rough around the edges but unapologetically themselves. And while they may be fantastical, their attitudes are dead-on refreshing. Not polished. Not pretending. Just real. At the center of the launch is Mike's Dirty Lemonade (4.5% alc/vol), the boldest innovation yet from the original hard lemonade that created the category 27 years ago, on April 1. Inspired by the viral dirty soda trend, Mike's Dirty Lemonade is a smooth, non-carbonated take on hard lemonade that blends unexpected flavors with a do-it-your-own-way attitude. Each flavor delivers more personality, more originality — and zero interest in the same old
tastes.

Dirty Lemon Secret: Bright citrus with a tart snap, balanced by just the right touch of sweetness and hot honey flavor.
Dark Cherry Brew: Lush cherry and citrus layered with warm cherry spice flavors and a cola-like finish for added depth.
Very Berry Grape: Juicy grape and bright lemon, blended together with a medley of tangy berry flavors.
Pineapple Haze: Ripe pineapple and lemon are rounded out with creamy coconut notes.
