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.
The Clean, Real, Bold Difference
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.
Tampa’s New Tailgate Essential
With just 80 calories, 0g carbs, and a refreshing non-carbonated texture, Crooked Tea tastes more like authentic iced tea than a typical ready-to-drink cocktail. That’s why it’s turning into a tailgate staple, especially on hot Florida game days. From Lemon to Peach and Raspberry, fans are finding a flavor that fits every vibe. As locals say, it’s quickly becoming their “new game-day go-to.”
The Power of Publix & Stadium Presence
As Crooked Tea rolls out across Publix locations throughout the region, the brand is becoming unmistakable in the everyday Tampa lifestyle. The partnership with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers amplifies this momentum, embedding Crooked Tea into tailgates, stadium vendors, and fan-forward experiences. With Ronde Barber joining the movement, the brand’s cultural footprint is now unmistakable—this is a drink Tampa is claiming as its own. Find Crooked Tea locally via Publix Store Locator.
Why Tampa Can’t Get Enough
The combination of authentic flavor, clean labeling, and lifestyle-friendly nutrition has unlocked something rare: a hard beverage that aligns with the modern drinker. No carbonation. No sugar. No surprises. Just a bold, refreshing iced tea built for Florida heat—and for fans who want to sip smarter without sacrificing taste.
If this is what quiet growth looks like, Tampa might be witnessing the start of a full-blown phenomenon.
Crooked Tea is rising fast—but the real question is: what Tampa moment will it take over next? Stay tuned, because this game-changing hard tea is just getting started.
