Mom Water Bes-Teas Variety 8Pk

Mom Water Bes-Teas Variety 8Pk is a non-carbonated ready-to-drink vodka iced tea variety pack at 4.5% ABV (9 proof). What distinguishes this pack from the crowded RTD market is its completely still format — no bubbles, no fizz — built on real unsweetened black tea and a clean vodka base with all-natural fruit flavors.

Quick Facts: ABV: 4.5%  |  Origin: Indianapolis, Indiana  |  Style: Still Vodka Iced Tea  |  Producer: Blue Marble Productions

Production & Heritage

Mom Water is produced by Blue Marble Productions out of Indianapolis, Indiana. The Bes-Teas line uses real unsweetened black tea as its foundation, blended with real vodka and all-natural fruit flavors — no artificial sweeteners, no carbonation. The zero-carbonation approach is the brand's signature move across its entire lineup, setting it apart from the hard seltzer category it often shares shelf space with. Each can delivers a smooth, water-like body that reads more like a spiked iced tea than a sparkling alcoholic beverage.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh fruit aromas arrive first, layered over a subtle hint of clean vodka. A soft, tea-like earthiness rounds out the nose without any harsh alcohol sting.

Taste: Light-bodied and smooth on entry, with natural fruit character leading the way. Mid-palate, the unsweetened black tea base provides a grounding bitterness that keeps things balanced. The vodka is restrained and clean, never dominating the fruit or tea elements.

Finish: Crisp and refreshing with minimal residual sweetness. The finish fades quickly and cleanly, leaving no lingering aftertaste — which is exactly the point for a sessionable drink at 4.5% ABV.

How to Drink Bes-Teas

Serve these cans cold — straight from the refrigerator or over ice in a tall glass for a more leisurely pour. Because the Bes-Teas line is non-carbonated, pouring over ice doesn't kill any fizz, making it one of the few RTDs that actually improves in a glass. For a simple upgrade, add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime to amplify the tea character. A sprig of fresh mint turns any can into a makeshift Arnold Palmer riff. You can also use a can as a low-proof base in a punch bowl, combining it with fresh fruit slices and a splash of lemonade for a crowd-friendly serve.

Best For

• Long outdoor sessions — pool days, beach trips, or backyard gatherings where carbonation bloat is unwelcome
• Hosting a casual brunch or daytime get-together with a low-ABV option
• Anyone transitioning away from hard seltzers who wants something smoother and still
• Gifting to someone who enjoys flavored iced tea and light cocktails

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Mom Water Bes-Teas taste like? It tastes like a lightly fruit-flavored iced tea with a subtle vodka backbone — smooth, clean, and barely sweet, with none of the fizzy bite of a hard seltzer.

How does Bes-Teas compare to White Claw? The most immediate difference is carbonation: White Claw is fully carbonated, while Bes-Teas is completely still, resulting in a smoother, less bloating drinking experience. Both sit in a similar ABV range, but Bes-Teas uses a real unsweetened black tea base rather than flavored sparkling water.

Is Bes-Teas good for beginners? Yes — at 4.5% ABV with a mild, fruit-forward tea flavor and no harsh alcohol taste, it is approachable for those new to ready-to-drink cocktails or anyone who finds hard seltzers too fizzy.

Where is Mom Water Bes-Teas made? Bes-Teas is produced by Blue Marble Productions in Indianapolis, Indiana.

What foods pair well with Bes-Teas? Light salads and grain bowls complement the tea's clean character. Grilled chicken or shrimp skewers match well with the subtle fruit notes. Mild cheeses like fresh mozzarella or burrata work nicely alongside the low sweetness. Fresh fruit — especially berries and stone fruit — echo the natural fruit flavors in the drink. Chips and salsa or other light snack spreads are a natural fit for casual settings.

What sizes does Bes-Teas come in? The Bes-Teas Variety 8Pk contains eight cans in assorted fruit-tea flavors, available in the standard slim can format.

Is Bes-Teas worth the price? Bes-Teas positions as a mid-range ready-to-drink option, competitive with other premium RTD variety packs. The use of real tea, real vodka, and all-natural flavors — rather than malt liquor or artificial ingredients — places it a step above many mass-market hard seltzers in terms of ingredient quality.

Why Bes-Teas?

The zero-carbonation format is the clearest reason this variety pack stands out. In a category dominated by fizz, Mom Water's still approach offers a genuinely different drinking experience — one that avoids bloat and lets the tea and fruit flavors come through without interference. The use of real unsweetened black tea and real vodka, rather than a malt base or artificial sweeteners, gives Bes-Teas a cleaner ingredient profile than most competitors in its price range. For anyone who has ever wished a hard seltzer were smoother, flatter, and more like actual iced tea, this pack is the most direct answer on the market.
