What Is White Claw?
White Claw is an alcoholic hard seltzer: carbonated water, an alcohol base fermented mainly from sugar, natural fruit flavors and a little cane sugar. The US Original line is 5% alcohol by volume, about the same as a regular beer, with 100 calories and 2 grams of sugar per 12-ounce can, and it's gluten-free according to the brand.
It's for adults of legal drinking age only (21+ in the US). Please drink responsibly, and never drink and drive. Flavors below were checked against White Claw's US product page in October 2026; lineups vary by country and change often.
White Claw Original Flavors, Ranked
This is my personal ranking, from favorite to least favorite. Taste is personal, so treat it as a friendly starting point, not a verdict.
1. Mango
My number one. Ripe, juicy mango that tastes sweet without being syrupy. The easiest drinker of the lot.
2. Black Cherry
Deep, dark cherry with a hint of almond-like sweetness. A classic for a reason.
3. Natural Lime
Crisp and clean, like a squeeze of lime in sparkling water. The one I pick with tacos.
4. Watermelon
Light, candy-ish watermelon. Very gentle flavor; great ice-cold on a hot day.
5. Raspberry
Bright, slightly tart berry. Pleasant fruit flavor with a sharp finish.
6. Peach
Soft, juicy peach that reads a little sweeter than most. Lovely over ice with a peach slice.
7. Pineapple
Tropical and tangy, with a sweeter finish. Good for anyone who likes mango.
8. Strawberry
Mild summer strawberry. Subtle rather than jammy.
9. Ruby Grapefruit
Tart and a touch bitter, like fresh pink grapefruit. You either love it or skip it.
10. Lemon
Zesty and lemony, basically a light hard lemonade with bubbles.
11. Blackberry
Dark, jammy berry with a little tartness. One of the bolder fruit flavors.
12. Cranberry
Tart, dry cranberry. Feels very holiday and pairs well with lime.
13. Blood Orange
Juicy orange with a slightly bitter citrus edge.
14. Green Apple
Sour-apple tang, crisp and sweet-tart.
15. Grape
Bold grape flavor, sweeter and more candy-like than the citrus options.
White Claw Surge Flavors (8% ABV)
Surge is the stronger line at 8% ABV, so one can is noticeably more alcohol than an Original. Pace yourself accordingly.
16. Surge Blood Orange
Bigger citrus flavor to stand up to the extra alcohol.
17. Surge Cranberry
Tart and dry; one of the original Surge flavors.
18. Surge Blackberry
Dark berry with a stronger finish.
19. Surge Lime
Clean lime with a noticeable kick.
20. Surge Black Cherry
Rich cherry, the stronger sibling of the classic.
21. Surge Grape
Bold and sweet, very grape-forward.
22. Surge Blueberry
Soft blueberry, one of the few blueberry options in the range.
23. Surge Green Apple
Sour apple with extra punch.
24. Surge Pineapple
Tropical pineapple, sweet-tart.
25. Surge Strawberry
Gentle strawberry over a stronger base.
26. Surge Peach
Juicy peach with more heat on the finish.
White Claw Clawtails (7% ABV)
27. Clawtails Strawberry Cosmo
A canned cosmo-style drink with real juice, 7% ABV.
28. Clawtails Mango Margarita
Margarita-inspired mango, 7% ABV.
29. Clawtails Wild Berry Mojito
Mixed berry and mint-style mojito flavor, 7% ABV.
30. Clawtails Peach Daiquiri
Peachy daiquiri-style sipper, 7% ABV.

Which White Claw Flavor Is Best?
White Claw doesn't publish sales by flavor, so any "best-selling" claim is a guess. My picks: Mango if you like it sweet and fruity, Black Cherry for a richer flavor, and Natural Lime if you want it crisp and barely sweet. Ruby Grapefruit and Cranberry suit people who like tart, drier drinks.
Alcohol-Free Mocktail: Mango Lime Sparkler
Want the same vibe without alcohol? This is the sparkler I make for everyone at the table. Or grab the Zero Proof cans above.
- Muddle 1/4 cup diced ripe mango with 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice in a tall glass.
- Fill with ice and top with about 1 cup chilled plain sparkling water.
- Stir gently and garnish with a lime wheel. Add a splash of simple syrup if your mango isn't very sweet.
More Summer Drinks
For adults, try our watermelon margarita or fresh pineapple margaritas. Alcohol-free, make a virgin margarita on the rocks or a virgin strawberry daiquiri.
