Ready-to-drink cocktails skip the mixing, the measuring, and the leftover bottles. Crack one open, pour it over ice, and it's done. The ready-to-drink collection covers everything from single-serve cans and 375ml bottles to variety packs and party-size formats, all available to buy online and shipped to your door.
Shop by Cocktail
The selection runs wide. Margarita is the clear standout. Canned margaritas, ready to drink margaritas, spicy, skinny, mango: there are more choices here than you'll find almost anywhere else. The espresso martini has become a serious category in its own right, with options worth trying cold and poured into a glass. Beyond that: old fashioned, manhattan, cosmopolitan, negroni, whiskey sour, paloma, horchata cocktails, and even moonshine, all premixed and ready to serve.
Shop by Format
Single-serve cans are the low-commitment entry point. One can, one serving, no leftover bottle to deal with.
Variety packs let you sample across cocktail types or brands before committing to a case. If you're trying RTDs for the first time, a cocktail variety pack is the practical place to start.
Party size covers the 1.75L and 3L "Biggies," formats designed for pouring into a punchbowl or setting out at a gathering. Twisted Shotz and SLRRRP shot packs round out the entertaining options.
Low-ABV and lighter options include June Shine hard kombucha and lighter canned cocktails for anyone looking to keep the alcohol content in check.
Featured Brands
BuzzBallz packs spirit-forward alcohol into single-serve spheres, with more punch than a standard can. BeatBox beverages provide party-size formats and bold flavors. Whip Shots is vodka-infused whipped cream, which is its own category. June Shine makes hard kombucha for the lighter end of the spectrum.
On the premium single-serve side: Casamigos, Ketel One, Crown Royal, Bulleit, Tanqueray, and Jose Cuervo all have RTD expressions worth knowing about. These are bar-quality cocktails in portable format, using the actual base spirits behind the label.
Why Premixed Cocktails Work
The practical case is straightforward: no mixing required, no leftover bottles of vermouth or triple sec, and the ABV is printed on the label. Portion control comes built-in. Shelf-stable formats travel well to picnics, the beach, tailgates, and camping. For entertaining, a few variety packs or a party-size handle covers a crowd without setting up a full bar.
The better RTDs have closed the gap with bar-quality cocktails considerably. Chilled, poured over ice, served in a cocktail glass with a garnish, the result is closer to a bartender-made drink than the category's reputation suggests.
FAQ
What are ready-to-drink cocktails?
Ready-to-drink cocktails (also called RTDs, premixed cocktails, or canned cocktails) are fully mixed drinks packaged for immediate consumption. No mixing or measuring needed. Open, pour, and drink.
What's the difference between canned cocktails and premixed bottled cocktails?
Format and occasion, mostly. Canned cocktails are single-serve and portable, good for grab-and-go or outdoor use. Premixed bottled cocktails in 375ml or 1.75L formats are better suited to pouring multiple servings at home or for a group.
What's the alcohol content (ABV) of ready-to-drink cocktails?
It varies widely. Hard kombucha and lighter seltzers typically run 5–7% ABV. Standard canned cocktails land around 10–12%. Spirit-forward options like BuzzBallz can hit 15% or higher, and 375ml premixed bottles often match the ABV of a standard mixed drink.
Which ready-to-drink cocktails are best for a party?
Variety packs work well for mixed groups: different cocktail types, one purchase. Party-size 1.75L and 3L options (BuzzBallz Biggies, for example) reduce the number of individual containers to manage. Shot packs are useful for a more casual format.
Do I need to refrigerate ready-to-drink cocktails?
Most RTDs are shelf-stable and can be stored at room temperature before opening. They're best served cold, chilled or over ice. Check individual product labels for any exceptions.
What are the most popular canned cocktails you carry?
Canned and ready-to-drink margaritas are the most popular, followed by espresso martinis and BuzzBallz. BeatBox variety packs are popular for entertaining.
Can you buy ready-to-drink cocktails online?
Yes. The full selection ships directly to your door. Browse by cocktail type, format, or brand above.
Are there low-alcohol or lighter ready-to-drink options?
Yes. June Shine hard kombucha runs lower ABV than most cocktail cans. A few lighter sparkling cocktail options are also available in the collection.
What's a good ready-to-drink cocktail for someone new to them?
A variety pack is the right starting point. Sampling a few different cocktail types in single-serve portions costs less and tells you more than committing to a case of one thing.
How should I serve ready-to-drink cocktails?
Cold is the baseline. Most RTDs are better poured over ice in a cocktail glass rather than drunk straight from the can. A simple garnish (lime wedge for a margarita, orange peel for an old fashioned) goes a long way toward a bar-quality finish.
