But, Sieradzky said his product is \u201cfar removed\u201d from lo-cal, fruit-flavored seltzers like White Claw or Truly, which are malt beverages.<\/p>\n<p>Since it is distilled, rather than fermented, Sieradzky said his drink carries more alcohol by volume than competing alcopops. Jungle Juiced Fruit Punch comes in at 15% alcohol by volume, as compared to 5% for White Claw and Truly, or 14% for Four Loko.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a high alcohol percentage. However, at the same time we promote and focus on drinking in a safe environment and responsibly,\u201d he said.
