We tried over 20 kinds of canned cocktails to find our favorites. The winners included Finnish Long Drink, VMC Margaritas, High Noons, Tip Top Negronis and Welch’s (yes, like the juices and jelly).
Why choose a canned cocktail over the real deal?“As a cocktail enthusiast, I enjoy the art and experimentation in crafting delicious libations,” says Chris Chamberlain, expert mixologist and senior spirits academy manager at Spirit of Gallo. “However, recent innovations in canned cocktails have far exceeded my expectations. These new flavor-forward, high-quality offerings provide consumers a quick, on-the-go beverage solution.” Mark Murphy, director of bar operations at STARR Restaurants, agrees with this benefit of canned cocktails. “Sometimes you can’t argue with convenience — with a heavy dose of portability,” he says. “Consistency and quality can be available with the crack of a tab. Once upon a time, when headed to the park or the beach, you were limited to beer or bulky wine bottles. There’s a wide variety of options now available, from both larger suppliers as well as boutique brands launched by independent bartenders... and with no corkscrew needed.” “One of the biggest factors is consistency,” says Trevor Cabal, director of restaurants at JW Marriott Austin. “Though everyone tries to keep mixed cocktails consistent, there’s always room for human error. With canned cocktails, you know exactly what you’re getting time after time.”What ingredients are you looking for in your favorite canned cocktails?“I’m always looking for quality ingredients made by reputable producers. If the base is from a brand you already know has an established reputation of quality, it’s a safe bet that they’re maintaining that quality they’ve worked so hard to establish,” Murphy says. Chamberlain agrees, adding, “Whether it’s a canned cocktail or hard seltzer, I typically reach for something with real spirits and pay homage to my favorite cocktails.” Mixologist and founder of Mannya Bar Services Rina Loshaj recommends anything non-vodka or non-tequila based: “I would suggest something with gin or rum because it requires more craft to make a nice-tasting cocktail with those ingredients.” “The fewer ingredients in canned cocktails, the better,” Cabal says. “The fresher and the more real ingredients put into the canned cocktail, the more it makes a difference in not only taste but how it’s impacting you as you drink it. That’s one of the reasons Austin Cocktails was such a natural fit here. They use premium vodka and fresh juices and don’t substitute with citric acid or other harsh chemical influences. They also add agave rather than a harsh sweetener, which is great for people keeping an eye on their glycemic intake.”What are cocktail experts' favorite canned cocktails?“Usually, any kind of vermouth or amaro-based spritz,” Murphy says. “They can be light, bright and refreshing while still providing a unique depth of flavor. These aromatized wine and amaro-based cocktails also come with a lower ABV, similar to a light beer, so you can drink quite a few without ‘overindulging.’” “High Noon seems to be very popular this summer,” Loshaj notes. Chamberlain agrees, saying, “The High Noon tequila-based grapefruit sparkler gives me a simple solution to enjoy a Paloma anywhere. I also really enjoy the fresh flavor aspects of the VMC’s Margarita. If I am in the mood to explore unexpected flavors with friends, High Noon’s Plum is a great option and a unique conversation starter. As we see the canned cocktail category grow and evolve, it will be exciting to see how brands like High Noon, Fishers Island Lemonade and more continue to innovate to bring consumers new and intriguing flavors.” “I typically like to drink RTD (ready-to-drink) beverages, but when it comes to canned cocktails I, like our JW Marriott guests, always gravitate towards Austin Cocktails’ Fred’s Ruby Red Sparkling Cocktail,” Cabal says. “It’s just so easy to consume, and it’s great that it’s actual vodka rather than a malt beverage.”
