WITH THE HOLIDAYS BEARING DOWN ON US, THESE CANNED COCKTAILS COME IN HANDY WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE THE ENERGY LEFT TO MAKE ONE.

The KRAKEN

With a spiced rum as strongly-flavored as The Kraken, their line of canned cocktails is much subtler on the palate than you might expect.

The Cola variety doesn’t taste strongly like one of the large soda companies, with less sugar that pairs well with the rum’s undertones.

The Ginger Beer is far less striking than ones you may have mixed at home with spiced rums, providing a subtle twist that’s cooling to the tongue.

The Rum Punch is the loudest of the bunch with a bold fruit flavor that comes on strong without being cloying.

Jose Cuervo

These slim 12-ounce cans come in stout with strong flavors and an 8 percent ABV.

The Margarita is more lime than lemon and more sweet than sour, with a strong aftertaste that’s less acidic than you’d expect.

The Paloma definitely has a hint of grapefruit but the sweetness keeps this from wandering into true-to-form cocktail material.

The Rose Margarita is a fascinating twist, again strong with the sugary side of both the wine and the Triple Sec without much hint of the tequila

The sweetest of them all is the Strawberry Margarita that also provides enough sour to balance out the flavor without needing a glass of water afterward.

As Good As We Have Always Been!
