Gird your loins because alcoholic Solo has arrived in Australia

Move over seltzers, there's a new drink of the summer.

Solo has just released... Hard Solo.

Yep, you read that right. There is now a version of Solo that's exactly like the sweet, tangy lemon drink you'd guzzle down on a hot summer day, except that it contains 4.5 per cent alcohol.

Available in 375ml cans, by the 10 or 30 pack, each can amounts to 1.5 standard drinks.

And, like the seltzers you've been sipping on for the last couple of years, Hard Solo has a lower sugar count than its alcohol-free cousin.

TikToker Russ Eats managed to get his hands on a few cans to try them out ahead of the release.

"Alright Hard Solo, you're probably wondering how I got my hands on this when it's not released yet," he began the video.

"I had to do some filthy things.

"Now Solo is similar to Harry Potter, they've had to follow their target audience as we've grown up and they've made it scarier and scarier.

"They added energy when we were teenagers and now they're adding p*ss when we're older."

Russ then explains the can says it contains a 'neutral alcohol'.

"I don't know what that is, if you do let me know in the comments," he says before taking a sip from the can.

He added: "That is f**king good. Light on fizz so you can get p*ssed fast."

He then tasted some of the original Solo to see how they compare.

"There is no f**king difference. I swear there is no difference between these, that's dangerous," he said.

"Is this the beginning of no more soft drinks and more hard drinks? Imagine a Pepsi Max and bourbon or a f**king hard Fanta. This is amazing."

The reviews on the Liquorland website were equally glowing.

One person wrote: "Saw this today and purchased on impulse. So glad I did. Great taste, really refreshing, just like drinking Solo with a little 'kick'."

Another added: "It tastes just like ordinary Solo, very little to no alcohol taste to it which makes it taste just like normal Solo. Such a good drink."

A third said: "No other words except it’s definitely worth your money!!!"

Hard Solo available in either 10 packs or 30 packs, in most major bottle shops.
