How Crooked Tea Quietly Became Tampa’s New Game-Day Obsession

Tampa has a new obsession, and it starts with Crooked Tea Tampa, a brand that has been everywhere—from tailgates to beach days, bars, and now the heart of the action: Raymond James Stadium. Powered by real brewed organic black tea, organic alcohol, and a bold message of “Clean + Real + Bold,” the brand is rewriting what fans expect from a modern hard tea. And now, with its high-profile partnership with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Ronde Barber, Crooked Tea has officially entered its game-day era.

What sets this fast-growing brand apart is its commitment to organic ingredients, real brewed tea, and a completely zero-sugar formula. Unlike typical hard drinks that rely on malt, synthetic sugars, or hidden additives, Crooked Tea uses a proprietary alcohol base derived from cassava root, quinoa, millet, and amaranth. This transparent approach reflects their mantra: “what’s inside is on the label.” It also keeps the drink gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, and friendly for a wide range of lifestyles.
