Lipton Hard Iced Tea Launch and Flavor Lineup

In 2023, Lipton expanded into the flavored malt beverage category with Lipton Hard Iced Tea, a non-carbonated hard tea line brewed and licensed by FIFCO USA.

Lipton Hard Iced Tea Launch

The original launch was built around real brewed Lipton tea, natural fruit flavors and a malt base. The drinks were introduced at 5% alcohol by volume.

Original Flavor Lineup

The 2023 lineup included four flavors:

• Lemon: lemon-flavored hard iced tea at 5% ABV.
• Peach: peach-flavored hard iced tea at 5% ABV.
• Strawberry: strawberry-flavored hard iced tea at 5% ABV.
• Half & Half: iced tea and lemonade flavors at 5% ABV.

Brand and Availability

FIFCO USA produced and licensed the hard tea line under the Lipton brand. The product was positioned as an alcoholic extension of Lipton’s established iced-tea portfolio.

These details reflect the original 2023 launch. The brand remains active in 2026, and its current lineup has expanded beyond those four original flavors, so check the brand’s latest product information for current varieties and availability.
