Lowest Calorie Hard Tea Drinks

37 hard tea drinks tracked, averaging 15.8g carbs and 159 calories per serving. Built on a sweetened iced-tea base rather than a neutral fermented one, hard tea keeps far more of its added sugar than hard seltzer does, which is why its carb average sits closer to cider than to seltzer. Sorted by calories per 12 oz serving (lowest first), then score.
