The world of Canned Cocktails?

[El Presidente]

The lads in Miami were singing the praise of canned cocktails.......canned manhattan specifically. I can't recall the brand. 

On the back of that discussion, I took the opportunity at the airport to try a canned Espresso Martini.  Not bad at all 

Have you had any canned cocktails that "cut the mustard" for you? 

If so, let us know which ones

In my drinking days, this was my favorite canned beverage.  No experience with a canned cocktail.

These are pretty good quality.

Additionally, although this doesn’t 100% qualify, as it’s a mixer, I will throw in a recommendation for this nice, natural margarita mix. Could use a little thinning with lime juice and seltzer, but we have been rolling through this amongst our group of friends.

They'll put some hair on your chest for sure! I also really enjoyed these. Had one of their White Russians after work. Cutwater seems to be producing some decent canned cocktails. I cant say they replace the real thing but sure are convenient. Cheers!

Bunsters are getting into canned cocktails i think. If you're not aware of the brand, google "Shit the Bed" ... no not a joke... maybe add Bunsters in on the search though... but i feel you would love their brand and people if you aren't aware of them.

Delta has these Old Fashion in a can- Excellent 

They also occasionally have a Negroni in a can but they are not as spot on

I literally took 2 sips of one of these last night & had to dump it out. Couldn’t do it…and that’s saying something as I like booze. Glad you enjoy it though…

For me, canned cocktails don’t get better than this.

these slow & low are a little too sweet, but not bad in a pinch:

the cans sure travel easy.

Darts/pool and a pint of Bodders was a staple of my teenage years, lovely stuff!

The lime nooners are pretty good. Nice change of pace when you're on a double ipa 6 pack binge.

Plenty of canned beer, ale, etc.  Never had a canned alcoholic beverage other than that.  Not inclined to.

Two not canned suggestions.

During 2020 I was sent a bottled cocktail from The Columbia Room (a since-closed bar in D.C.) I've had a lot of mojitos, that was one of the two or three best. 

I also don't mind the Jefferson's Manhattan in a bottle that has been on sale in the U.S. for quite some time. I actually keep one in my cigar lockers at lounges that allow for bottles as it gives me an option to drink something when I'm not in the mood for neat/on the rocks liquor options.

I picked up a couple of these myself. Thought they were good and convenient. Bring a couple to a poker game and you're good to go.
