BeatBox is wine-based party punch sold in a 500ml carton at 11.1% alcohol. That last number is the one worth registering, because the packaging looks like a juice box and the contents are not: one 500ml box is roughly three standard drinks, and the 3 liter box is closer to nineteen. Flavors run sweet and bright, single boxes are about $4, and the format travels well, which is most of the appeal. We ship to most states, with an adult 21 or older required to sign at delivery.
What BeatBox Actually Is
It started in Austin and got its national push after a Shark Tank appearance and a $1 million investment from Mark Cuban. The product is a wine-based ready to drink punch, which is why it sits at 11.1% rather than the 5% of a hard seltzer, and why it can be sold in places that don't carry spirits.
The carton is the point. It doesn't break, it chills fast, it's easy to carry, and it's a reasonable choice for anywhere glass is a problem. It's sweet, and it's meant to be. Nobody is buying this for nuance.
The Flavors
Fruit-forward. Fruit Punch is the original and the sweetest. Tropical Punch, Juicy Mango and Fresh Watermelon run in the same direction.
Tart and citrus. Cherry Limeade, Green Apple and Cranberry Dreams cut the sweetness back. These are the ones to try first if the punch flavors sound like too much.
Lemonades. Pink Lemonade, Watermelon Lemonade and Blueberry Lemonade, the last of which is a Shaquille O'Neal collaboration. Sharper and less syrupy than the punches.
Orange. Orange Blast sits between the two camps.
For other ready to drink options, RTD cocktails covers the wider category.
BeatBox FAQ
What is the alcohol content of BeatBox?
11.1% alcohol by volume. A 500ml box contains roughly three standard drinks, and a 3 liter box around nineteen, so it's considerably stronger than a hard seltzer or a beer.
Is BeatBox wine or liquor?
Wine-based. It's made from a wine base rather than distilled spirits, which is why it sits at 11.1% and why it's stocked in places that don't sell liquor.
How many drinks are in a BeatBox?
About three standard drinks per 500ml carton. Worth knowing, since the packaging and the serving size suggest a single drink and the alcohol content says otherwise.
Does BeatBox need to be refrigerated?
Not before opening. The carton is shelf stable, though it's much better cold. Once opened, refrigerate it and finish it within a few days.
What is the best BeatBox flavor?
Blue Razzberry and Fruit Punch sell the most. If you'd rather something less sweet, Cherry Limeade or Green Apple are the better starting point.
Can BeatBox be shipped to my state?
We ship to most U.S. states, typically within a few business days. Someone 21 or older has to sign at delivery. Availability is confirmed at checkout, since a handful of states restrict direct shipments.
