Lil Yachty Expands His Empire with New Tequila Seltzer, Yacht Water

Brandon Lighty

Hip-hop star Lil Yachty is making waves in the beverage industry with the launch of his new alcoholic brand, Yacht Water. While he remains a dominant force in music, the rapper is kicking off 2025 by venturing into the world of spirits with a tequila-based seltzer.

Partnering with Quality Control manager Coach K and Sneaky Pete Spirits, Yachty has crafted a drink that reflects his distinct approach to business. In a playful social media announcement, he humorously admits, “I don’t really like alcohol.” Rather than avoiding it altogether, he explains that he’s never enjoyed the taste—despite having tried nearly everything on the market. The clip sees Yachty surrounded by an array of alcoholic beverages before dramatically sweeping them off the table, making way for Yacht Water.

Unlike many flavored seltzers packed with additives, Yacht Water keeps it simple: tequila, lime juice, sea salt, and sparkling water. It comes in three flavors—Jalapeño, Key Lime, and Sunrise (featuring orange juice)—each in a 12-ounce can with a 5.8% ABV.

Now available at select retailers, Yacht Water is set to shake up the hard seltzer market. Keep an eye out for more details on the brand’s official website.
