Mike's Harder Lemonade

Mike's Harder Lemonade is a popular alcoholic malt beverage known for its higher alcohol content (typically 8% ABV in the US, though this variant shows 7% as seen in specific markets like Canada) compared to the original Mike's Hard Lemonade. The brand originally debuted in Canada in the late 1990s as a vodka-based spirit cooler before expanding into the United States.

In the United States, the product is formulated as a flavored malt beverage to permit wider distribution. The brand is part of the Mark Anthony Group, a highly successful private beverage company. While the brand has deep Canadian roots, its manufacturing is distributed across various contract brewing and proprietary facilities in North America to meet regional demand. The 'Harder' line caters to consumers looking for a more intense flavor profile and a stronger alcoholic kick than standard ready-to-drink lemonades.
