Ready-to-drink cocktails were born as a solution to the bar closures that swept the US in March 2020. Folks were stuck at home and thirsty! Bottle sales soared, but with bars closed, cocktail drinkers lacked access to the masterfully made drinks they loved most. Starting with the wildly successful cocktails-to-go trend, bars and distilleries ran with the pivot and started canning cocktails. Since then, canned cocktails have swept the nation and become a popular alternative to purchasing beer or hard seltzers. Cocktail lovers everywhere have been overjoyed at the convenience of ready to drink options. From your fridge to your cooler, canned cocktails are carving out their place in the beverage industry – the trend is here to stay!
At Port Chilkoot Distillery, we created our line of canned cocktails for every drinker. Thoughtfully selected, each flavor is meant to be approachable and easy to love. We started at our Tasting Room, experimenting with our favorite classic cocktails with the help of our skilled bar team. After much sampling, tasting, and plenty of good times, we settled on four spins on beloved drinks that we stand behind proudly. Each canned cocktail offers its own unique taste – from the sweet and sour balance of the Bee’s Knees to a crisp and refreshing G&T, there is something for everyone.
Have an expertly made cocktail in a snap anytime, with no mess or complicated recipes to follow. Throw a Port Chilkoot Distillery Canned Cocktail in your pack before you head out on your Alaska adventure, impress everyone at the party or simply crack one open and enjoy at home.
