According to brewing industry experts, the majority of hard seltzers, including Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, get their alcoholic content from fermented cane sugar. This process creates a clean, neutral alcohol base that allows the distinct fruit flavors to shine through without a strong, beer-like aftertaste.

According to a 2024 study, nearly half of adults over 21 in the United States have tried hard seltzer, but many are still unclear about its alcoholic content. The alcohol base for hard seltzers is not uniform across all brands and can vary significantly depending on the manufacturer's production process and desired flavor profile.
