We all know you have your trusty canned beverage of choice, but, to evoke the famous words of Beyoncé, let me upgrade you. From refreshing rosé lemonade to an innovative sake spritz, consider elevating your at-home bar with these new canned cocktails.
We’d argue a more perfect summer cocktail doesn’t exist. Roseade is a must-have for long days by the pool, big gatherings at the beach or ready-to-go drinks before a night out. Originally born in Australia, Roseade launched in the U.S. in 2021 and recently pivoted production to Southern California. The excellent rosé lemonade spritzer is a zingy refreshment made of California rosé wine and lemons from local farms, resulting in a fresh, spirited beverage that is also just as beautiful with its glistening, vibrant pink hue.
Who said sake is just for decadent sushi dinners? Whether you’re at home making dinner or hosting friends, Ysidro makes for an ideal spritz best consumed poolside, while cooking or even with a seasonally-inspired meal. What’s more, Ysidro is made with premium sake and real, organic grapefruit and sea salt, meaning you’ll be left with light, refreshing citrus flavors (instead of that thick, sugary mouthfeel canned cocktails often have). The Santa Barbara-made sake spritz is also sulfite and gluten free, vegan and non-GMO.
Coming in lemon or peach flavors, Kim Crawford’s new wine spritzers are a wine and tea blend made with black tea, lemon flavors and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with notes of guava, pear and lychee for a clean, juicy taste.
Leave concocting a highball cocktail to the experts. Made with Goslings’ Black Seal Rum and Stormy Ginger Beer, this canned version of the Dark ‘n Stormy offers a nice aroma of ginger beer and caramel with a mild rum taste that finishes with notes of crystallized ginger, steely mineral and peppery spice.
Embrace the naturalness of California with Cali Squeeze’s new spiked seltzer offerings. Evoking a true Golden State of mind, the new flavors are composed of all-natural ingredients and fruit grown right on the coast of Central California. The new options include Pink Lemonade, Ruby Grapefruit and Wild Berry.
We couldn’t wrap up this list with just straightforward cocktails. Enliven your at-home selection with cannabis-infused aperitif brand Artet’s newest canned cocktail. Gleaming berry red, Strawberry Basil Spritz is infused with botanical notes from Artet’s flagship aperitif and balances flavors of juicy strawberry and sweet basil.
