Twisted Tea has become a go-to drink for many people who enjoy a refreshing alcoholic beverage with a twist of tea flavor. It's light, crisp, and perfect for social occasions, barbecues, or just relaxing after a long day. But for those who are sensitive to caffeine or simply watching their intake, a common question comes up: does twisted tea have caffeine?

The short answer is yes—but let’s dive deeper into what that means for you.

What Is Twisted Tea?
Before answering whether Twisted Tea has caffeine, it’s important to understand what Twisted Tea actually is. Twisted Tea is a hard iced tea made with real brewed tea and alcohol. It’s manufactured by the Boston Beer Company, which also produces well-known beverages like Samuel Adams and Truly Hard Seltzer.

Twisted Tea comes in a variety of flavors, including:

Original

Half & Half (a mix of iced tea and lemonade)

Raspberry

Peach

Light (a lower-calorie version)

Slightly Sweet

Seasonal and limited-edition flavors

Each one offers the familiar taste of iced tea, but with a 5% alcohol content (a bit less in the Light version).

Does Twisted Tea Have Caffeine?
So, does Twisted Tea have caffeine? Yes, it does—but only in small amounts.

Because Twisted Tea is made with real brewed black tea, it contains naturally occurring caffeine. Unlike soft drinks or energy drinks, which often have added caffeine, the caffeine in Twisted Tea comes directly from the tea leaves used during the brewing process.

The amount of caffeine per can or bottle varies slightly by flavor and size, but most 12-ounce servings contain around 22 to 30 milligrams of caffeine. For comparison:

An 8-ounce cup of coffee has around 95 mg of caffeine

A 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola has about 34 mg

A regular cup of black tea contains 40-70 mg

So while there is caffeine in Twisted Tea, it’s not enough to give you a major energy boost or keep you awake all night (unless you’re very sensitive to caffeine).

Why Does It Contain Caffeine?
Twisted Tea isn’t trying to be a source of caffeine like coffee or energy drinks. The caffeine is simply a natural .of the brewed tea used to make it. Since the brand focuses on providing an authentic iced tea taste, using real black tea is key to its flavor—and caffeine comes with that territory.

There is currently no caffeine-free or decaffeinated version of Twisted Tea available.

Will Twisted Tea Keep You Awake?
For most people, the small amount of caffeine in Twisted Tea is not enough to cause restlessness, jitters, or insomnia. However, if you're extremely sensitive to caffeine or trying to avoid it completely—for health, dietary, or religious reasons—it's worth knowing that it does contain caffeine.

Drinking Twisted Tea late at night might mildly affect your sleep if you’re caffeine-sensitive, but the alcohol in the drink may offset that by making you feel more relaxed or sleepy. Still, everyone reacts differently.

Can You Mix Caffeine and Alcohol?
There's been a lot of talk over the years about the risks of mixing caffeine and alcohol—especially with high-caffeine drinks like energy cocktails. The concern is that caffeine can mask the effects of alcohol, making you feel less intoxicated than you actually are.

However, Twisted Tea doesn't contain enough caffeine to cause that kind of problem. Its caffeine levels are far lower than what you’d find in an energy drink, so it’s generally safe when consumed responsibly.

Final Thoughts
So, does Twisted Tea have caffeine? Yes, but in small amounts that come naturally from brewed black tea. If you're looking to avoid caffeine entirely, Twisted Tea may not be your best choice. But if you're just trying to cut back or you’re okay with a little bit, it’s probably nothing to worry about.
