I Tried 60 Canned Cocktails – These Are The 18 You Should Sip On This Weekend

Our overall favorite.

Hoop Tea Spiked Iced Tea ($20/pack)

This certainly came as a surprise to me. Not only am I not an avid iced tea drinker, but I didn't even know of Hoop Tea until a month ago. All that has changed, and my entire group of testers agree that the OG Spiked Hoop Tea is a necessity for any event.

For rosé fanatics.

Roseade Rosé Lemonade ($15/pack)

Convert your liquor-lovers to rosé-reverends with this light cocktail. I mean – who wouldn’t love a rosé-lemonade hybrid?

You like a tropical twist.

Mate Maker Blood Orange P.O.G ($13/pack)

Dive into this tropical party wave that combines real passionfruit and guava with blood orange for a new spin on a Hawaiian classic that's the ultimate beachside sipper.

Channel your inner Bravoholic.

Loverboy Mango Peach Spritz ($16/pack)

A flirtatious twist on the not-too-sweet, bubbly spritz. This ready-to-drink craft cocktail turns any occasion into a special occasion.

If you’re looking for summer in a can.

Hoop Tea Watermelon Spiked Iced Tea ($20/pack)

When I think of summer, I think of two things: iced tea and watermelon. This drink is the best of both worlds and is sure to please even your pickiest of guests. (And I am very serious on the “pickiest guests” part. My only-drinks-beer-and-doesn’t-eat-fruit dad thoroughly enjoyed his watermelon Hoop Tea.

If you're looking for a healthier option.

mixxt Strawberry Lemonade Vodka Kombucha Refresher ($12/pack)

Sweet, delicate strawberries fizzing inside lemonade bubbles – it's summer in a can.

You prefer a classic margarita.

SouthNorte Margarita ($14/pack)

You may need to add a salted rim, but otherwise this marg is the real deal. I tried at least five other regular margaritas, and this one will instantly transport you to the beaches of Mexico.

If you need a hit of mezcal.

MADRE Prickly Pear and Lemon DESERT WATER ($41/pack)

Enjoy the flavors of prickly pear and lemon in sparkling water. Top with Madre's Mezcal for a refreshing cocktail.

If fruit is your jam.

Spritz Society Sparkling Peach Cocktail ($20/pack)

I am a tried-and-true fruit lover, and was particularly excited to try all of the citrus-flavored beverages that came my way. There were so many great options, but I loved this peach one by Spritz Society.

You value quality ingredients.

Volley Sparkling Tequila Cocktails ($10/pack)

With clearly labeled ingredients, no added sugars, and organic juice, Volley sets the standard for what all alcoholic beverages should be. I’m partial to their mango and spicy ginger flavors, but all of them should be at your next gathering.

7. You want to impress someone.

C.Cassis CC Spritz ($22.50/pack)

Grab what the New York Times calls a “spritz with a Cassis pedigree” and impress even your chicest guests.

A little mezcal never hurt anybody.

Sip MARGS Mezcal Margarita ($11/pack)

Enjoy the taste of Mexico with this punchy and refreshing cocktail.

In case you’re heading to the ranch.

Lone River Original Ranch Water ($10/pack)

Ranch water is a very popular ATM, and we totally get the hype. Whether you’re a longtime ranch water fan or newbie, I think you’ll be into this canned version.

If you prefer something refreshing.

SouthNorte Matador ($12/pack)

You can’t go wrong with a bit of tequila, pineapple, lime, and club soda! Chill it or throw it over ice for a refreshing summer beverage.

Something you can pick up at just about any store.

Cutwater Strawberry Margarita ($11/pack)

Cutwater is everywhere nowadays, and for good reason. They have a great variety of options for everyone in your group, but I must recommend their strawberry margarita.

The perfect beach accessory.

Fisher’s Island Lemonade Original ($14/pack)

Lemonade is a crowd-favorite and, IMO, a beach necessity. If you’re looking to trade in your Mike’s Hards for something that you didn’t drink in college, try a Fisher’s Island Lemonade.

You love trying new flavors.

Mighty Swell Keep It Weird Variety Pack ($37/pack)

If you're not a little bit intrigued by the names "Purple Magic," "Pink Colada," "Rocket Pop" and "Tiger's Blood" then we can't be friends.

One more for good measure.

Flybird Cocktails Strawberry Margarita ($15/pack)

A strawberry margarita with fizz? Yes please!
