Popular in the US, this can holds tequila, natural lime, pure cane sugar and triple sec. It has a peppery aroma and satisfies all margarita cravings. If you are still hesitant to be drinking a canned cocktail, just pour it in a glass and lounge like you mean it.
2. Malibu Piña Colada, 5% ABV
If you live your life to be able to enjoy piña coladas on a beach one day and are very close to this goal but lack some moolah, run down to a store where you can pick up a can of this creamy Caribbean rum cocktail.
Being Malibu’s signature cocktail, no one should miss out on this boozy heaven just because they have less money. Ask the people of UK, Malibu piña colada is one of the most popular canned cocktails there.
3. -196 °C Strong Zero Double Lemon, 9% ABV
Popular in China and referred to as Chu-hi, this canned alcoholic beverage is not exactly a cocktail. But if you are visiting China, do yourself a favour by buying a can to experience the life of a Chinese alcohol enthusiast.
The drink has a rich lemon flavour and is preferred by beer lovers because of its strong non-sweet taste.
4. Hochstadter’s Slow and Low Rock & Rye, 42% ABV
One of the most popular canned cocktails, this old fashioned is a trip in each sip. You don’t even need to be low on cash to buy a can of this magnificent drink. It’s spicy and citrusy, packing rye, air-dried Florida oranges, Angostura bitters, raw honey from Pennsylvania and a bit of rock candy.
It is highly rated by bartenders all over the world because of its rich taste. If it is available at your nearest store, buy one to cherish the taste while you think of Unsobered in a far away land!
5. Glassbox Spirits Pink Gin & Tonic, 5% ABV
Ireland’s very own Glassbox Spirits launched three canned cocktails in the country, made from premium distilled spirits, with no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners. The rising popularity has resulted in the brand introducing an espresso martini and a bloody mary canned cocktail among other drinks in the market.
Its pink gin & tonic is an absolute healer in disguise! The taste is spot on, having been formulated by mixologist and drinks wizard Don Crowley. It reminds you of the last time you and your bestie bitched about work over a few cocktails.
So, don’t worry about missing out on great cocktails upon seeing your bank balance after a shopping spree or a fancy dinner. Buy one of these canned cocktails to keep your ‘spirits’ up!
