Even if you're trying a new drink this summer (like a French 75 or a whiskey cocktail), sometimes the occasion calls for a hard seltzer. Imagine a long weekend at the beach, a day drinking by the pool, or a drink or two in the park with friends. In this case, you might reach for a soda that contains alcohol, and TikTok has a way to make it easier for you to enjoy them and their carbonation.
The video-sharing app is filled with tips for making simple recipes or updating familiar foods, and Hard Seltzer is the latest app to get the TikTok treatment. According to several users of the app, a milk frother might come in handy if you don't like super frothy or carbonated sodas. Yes, I'm talking about that little kitchen tool you use to whip your coffee in 2020. Users pour their choice of hard seltzer into a glass and pour it into it using a milk frother while being careful not to spill. After a few seconds, this process should soften the bubbles, making the hard seltzer easier to drink and less sensitive to your stomach. This is a great tip for anyone looking to enjoy a glass (or more) of soda this season.

One user @taylor_unfiltered shared the tip on TikTok and received over 458,000 likes and 2,000 comments. On a video of her drinking soda, she added the caption, "Summer hacks...IBS girls lather on your white paws, no swelling, but be careful it tastes like flavored water." When commenting When the person in asked her how she did it, she said "Yeah, it bubbles for about 30 seconds and then it stops carbonating."
Another TikToker from @alanafischer98 shared the same tip, explaining that she uses a frother in her hard seltzer because while she likes the taste, she doesn't like the bubbles. "I hate drinking soda just because I feel so full," she says in the video, before taking a bubbly sip. There's no strict method to hacking, Fisher just goes "as you go" with the foaming, so you can try it yourself using a trial and error approach. Lather up a bit and give it a taste to see if you want to mix more for better results.
