While Blake Lively is Wonderful on the eyes she's been very open about the fact that she doesn't drink. At All. Which makes this even more confusing. 

These mixed drinks have been around a while now. At a Rockies game last season I had my first Canned Gin and Tonic. I didn't know they existed until that point. It was a bit sweet for my taste, but very easy to drink on a hot, sunny afternoon. I don't see my self ever stocking this sort of thing at home, but when you're out and about, they're a lot easier than carrying around everything needed to mix your own.

This is, at least with everything I’ve tried, the only real benefit of canned cocktails: getting a (hopefully) serviceable replacement in a context/place where you’d normally not be able to have one made from scratch. Concerts and other crowded public venues like ball games are perfect examples. Even in the ultra-premium sections/suites that serve liquor, you usually can’t rely on anything more complex than a G+T or 7+7. Outside that, and especially at home, I don’t get it. The only canned (or even bottled) cocktails I’ve had that are even passable are the simplest drinks like a G+T. And like you I’ve found them to be too sweet.

You’d have to be really lazy, or very inebriated, to reach for the can over the real McCoy at your home bar.

Her husband is fairly well known. You know...the guy who bought the Welsh football club, Wrexham with  Rob McElhenney a few years ago. He's also been in a few big movies of late.

Don't knock Vault City's Triple Fruited Mango Sour until you've tried it with a cigar. You can get it in Tesco.

It definitely feels like fruited beers are the new alcopops, I've tasted some real stinkers.

Any beer with more than 3 words in the name is out!

🤣 they have some offenders that are 7+ words and taste as bad as you'd imagine but the Mango Sour works perfectly, a real sharp palette cleanser that seems to make cigars shine.

I guess it's a bit like orange juice, sounds terrible, but for whatever reason just works.
