Every summer brings a new twist on premixed cocktails.
These alcoholic beverages are becoming increasingly popular because of their convenience, their generally low alcohol content and their taste!
Year after year, the quality of these ready-to-drink products has become more refined and we now find a lot of very interesting and delicious products.
Here are 5 premixed cocktails to discover this summer for your next picnics, aperitifs on the terrace or trips to the cottage:
- Artist in residence Fruit Punch
- Walter Craft Caesar Classique
- 3 Lacs Gin Fizz Lime Basil
- Dillon’s Cocktail Gin Tangerine And Lemon
- Aperol Spritz Ready-To-Serve
1. Artist in residence Fruit Punch
This fruit punch, made with blackberries, cranberries and blueberries and gin, will please all fruit drinkers. Served chilled, it’s very refreshing and although it’s a fruity punch, it’s not too sweet.
Available at the SAQ ( 13,20$ / pack of 4 cans of 355 ml)
Degree of alcohol: 5%
2. Walter Craft Caesar Classique
The Walter Caesar is the latest addition to the ready-to-drink Caesar line.
Just like their Caesar mix without alcohol, these premixed Caesar are an artisanal product, elaborated in small batches and made from natural ingredients.
Vodka-based, the Walter Caesar contains Ocean Wise certified clam juice. It is also free of artificial colors and flavors, gluten free and MSG free.
Most importantly, it is really good, slightly spicy but not too much, in short a perfect aperitif.
Available at the SAQ ($3.75 / 458ml can)
Degree of alcohol: 4,5%
3. 3 Lacs Gin Fizz Lime Basil
After the success of its Pink Grapefruit Rosemary Lemonade gin last summer, the 3 Lakes Distillery is back with a new ready-to-drink gin, the Lime and Basil Gin Fizz.
The lime and basil are very present and work very well together. The result? A light and delicate drink, very refreshing.
We also love the colorful design of the can that features “Edmond the chameleon”.
Available at the SAQ ($15.60 / pack of 4 cans of 355 ml)
Degree of alcohol: 5%
4. Dillon’s Cocktail Gin Tangerine And Lemon
The Dillon’s gin cocktail is a great discovery.
The flavors of tangerine and lemon pair with mint to bring a nice complexity and freshness to the drink.
Here too, we have a cocktail not too sweet and refreshing. It’s a great drink to sip by the pool or on the deck!
Available at the SAQ ($16.20 / pack of 6 cans of 355 ml)
Degree of alcohol: 5%
5. Aperol Spritz Ready-To-Serve
The Aperol Spritz is the cult cocktail of aperitifs and we have to say that we love their new ready-to-drink drink as much for the taste as for its practicality.
It has all the good taste of Aperol, combining the sweet and slightly bitter flavors of this famous aperitif.
And above all, there is no need to carry around a bottle of Aperol and prosecco to make an Aperol Spritz. Simply pour this ready-to-serve drink into a glass with a few ice cubes.
Available at the SAQ ($24.60 / package of 4x 200 ml bottles)
Degree of alcohol: 9%
