Is it just us, or are canned cocktails totally a thing now? For the longest time it seemed like everyone looked down on canned drinks, but slowly, they took over. First, fancy craft beers returned to cans over bottles, and then, we started seeing more and more canned wines come onto the market. Next thing we know, a full-blown canned cocktail boom was on our hands!
Canned cocktails are perfect for summer. We’re always off adventuring when the weather gets warm, and the last thing we want to have to drag to the beach with us is all of the ingredients and supplies needed to shake up a few drinks.
That’s where the new generation of tasty canned cocktails comes in. Fizzy and fruity, tart and tangy, classic and creative, there’s a canned cocktail out their for every palate. Interested in tasting a few for yourself? Here are some of our favorite canned cocktails to try.
Crown Royal Whisky Lemonade
Whisky and lemonade are as classic as summer drinks get. But now, you don’t have to go through the hassle of squeezing all those lemons, thanks to Crown Royal’s canned Whiskey Lemonade, which packs a punch at 7% alcohol per can.
Ketel One Botanical Vodka Spritz Grapefruit & Rose
If you’re looking for a lower ABV canned cocktail, look no further than Ketel One’s Botanical Vodka Spritz. These canned drinks come in several flavors, all of which have really pretty can designs, but our favorite is the Grapefruit & Rose spritz.
Topo Chico Ranch Water Hard Seltzer
This cult-favorite sparkling mineral water brand has branched out into canned cocktails. They’ve paired their refreshing sparkling water with tequila, agave, and lime juice to make a drink that’ll keep you feeling perky even on the hottest days.
Salt Point Ready To Drink Moscow Mule
Made with ginger, vodka, and lime, Moscow Mules have a zingy flavor and fizzy texture that will keep the party going. Serve these canned Moscow Mules in a traditional copper cup, or drink straight from the can.
Cutwater Lime Margaritas
Just like a real margarita, these canned Lime Margaritas from Cutwater are pretty strong, with 12.5% alcohol. You’ll want to sip them carefully, which is hard to do, because they’re so tasty.

Made with tequila, juice, and sparkling water, Volley fizzy canned cocktails are the next best thing to a margarita. Choose from Zesty Lime, Spicy Ginger, Sharp Grapefruit, or Tropical Mango.
