The only finger you need to lift is to pop that top. And guess what? You didn’t have to simmer any syrups, buy that one obscure liqueur that will live on your bar cart forever or mix a single thing. Each one will get you through any occasion, whether it's a casual stoop hang or full-on house party.
You’ll find options for every major spirit, from vodka to bourbon, including lower-alcohol tipples as well as higher-octane nursers. In our list of top-tasting canned cocktails, we only included drinks that have identifiable spirits - that's why hard seltzers, which are categorized as a flavored malt beverage according to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Trade Bureau, did not make the cut. Dip rim of cocktail glass in glaze, followed by Fruity Pebbles to coat. “This range lends itself to different types of occasions throughout the year,” according to Paquette, “whether it's poolside sipping, or holiday parties and tailgating.” In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar and milk to make a thick glaze. What’s behind this swigging shift? The answer is on the stacked shelves of your local liquor store: From espresso martinis to sparkling guava Hawaiian rum cocktails, the availability of high-quality and innovative canned cocktails allow all types of drinkers to pick their poison (even low-calorie beer lovers and canned wine aficionados). “While RTDs have seemingly followed the same blueprint as hard seltzer’s explosive trajectory over the past few years,” Paquette says consumers could be starting to see canned cocktails as a year-round staple and not just a warm weather go-to. According to Liz Paquette, Head of Consumer Insights, RTDs held 3.0% share overall and 6.5% share within the spirits category from January to June 2023 for the same time period in 2022, the numbers were 2.4% and 5.2% respectively. The numbers have even surpassed those of the previous darling of canned libations, hard seltzer, whose sales are on the decline.

This is certainly one of those “you’ve got to try this” experiences, and the fact that these exist and sell well is a commentary on the state of modern alcohol consumption, though I’m not sure what to make of it or what to conclude.Īll three of these vodkas had very interesting flavors and there’s room for creativity in how to use these flavors in cocktails, but I imagine these will mostly be consumed with a very simple mixer, like “PB&J and Soda,” or “S’mores and Coke,” or something like that.Drizly, the largest online marketplace for alcohol in North America, confirms that sales of canned cocktails are on the rise. The flavor of S’mores was also the most subtle of the three.
I think that S’mores would be the most flexible permanent addition to a home bar as it could be used in White Russians and other cocktails featuring coffee or chocolate. Loopy in particular tasted so much like a boozy version of it’s cereal brother, it was scary. This was an interesting experience, and the flavors were surprisingly accurate. Aztec Chocolate BittersīOC (“Breakfast or Champions” or “Bowl of Cereal”?) From left to right, these are pictured below:
Place ice in large punch bowl pour in cranberry-raspberry mixture. No matter which Fruit Loop vodka cocktail you choose, you’re sure to enjoy the sweet and fruity flavors of this fun vodka. Combine Three Olives® Loopy Vodka, cranberry-raspberry juice, blackberries and grenadine. You can also garnish with a maraschino cherry if you’d like. I made some simple cocktails with them, some recommended by the manufacturers. To make this drink, combine 2 ounces Fruit Loop vodka, 1 ounce sweet vermouth, and 1 dash of bitters in a shaker with ice. At first whiff, every single one of these smells exactly as the labels suggest they would.
Three Olives brand is about $20 a bottle retail, and Van Gogh is priced slightly higher. I tried three flavors of vodkas: Van Gogh PB&J (peanut butter and jelly), Three Olives S’mores, and Three Olives Loopy (Fruit Loops). I will admit that I can have a snobby attitude about some vodkas, particularly the strange new flavored ones that have appeared in the stores recently, going way beyond fruit flavors to marshmallow or whipped cream vodkas! These flavored vodkas have begun to outsell nearly everything in the liquor stores, so it seems appropriate to at least give them a try.
