Best canned cocktails to buy 2025

MOTH Margarita

Available from MOTH (£26/8-pack), Sainsbury's (£3.95), Waitrose (£3.99)

Best canned margarita

A new trend we've noticed in canned cocktails is the emergence of dinky tins of booze-forward drinks that you'd typically sip at rather than gulp. This canned margarita is a great example – at just 125ml it's got the zesty, refreshingly sharp flavours of a classic marg, but at a much more sessional 14.9% ABV. Do check out the other cocktails in the range, particularly the old fashioned with its aromatic coffee notes, and a floral negroni.

Available from:

East London Liquor Co. Vodka and Rhubarb

Available from East London Liquor Co. (£39 for 12 cans), Amazon (£2.60)

Best canned cocktail for picnics

British wheat vodka cut with rhubarb soda makes for a grown-up, drinkable cocktail. Not sweet or cloying, this has a pure and puckering rhubarb flavour.

MOTH passionfruit martini

Available from MOTH (£26 for 8 cans)

Best canned passionfruit martini

This RTD take on the popular cocktail delivers lots of juicy tropical and vanilla-tinged flavour. One for those who prefer a sweeter drink, MOTH suggests shaking, pouring, then squeezing the can for a foamy top to the cocktail.

MOTH (£26 for 8 cans)

Ace + Freak Watermelon + Cucumber Sangria

Available from Ace + Freak (£21 for 6 cans)

Best canned sangria

Cooling cucumber and watermelon with a hint of apple is balanced by dryness from white wine. Fresh and summery, this is a perfect heatwave tipple.

Ace + Freak (£21 for 6 cans)

Something & Nothing Yuzu Seltzer

Available from Amazon (£24.25 for 12 cans)

Best canned seltzer

We loved the delicate citrus and floral notes in this grown-up soft drink – if you do want to add alcohol, try gin or sparkling wine for a spritz-style cocktail.

Available from:

Amazon (£24.25 for 12 cans)

Virtue Clean Energy Drinks

Available from Tesco (£5 for 4 cans), Amazon (£17.40 for 12 cans)

Four cans with fresh fruit scattered round

Best canned energy drink

There’s plenty going on in these refreshing, non-alcoholic alternatives to a G&T in a can. Soft peach flavour with a raspberry finish balances the sparkling, viscous mouthfeel from the agave and yerba mate in our pick of the range. These naturally caffeinated drinks are all packed with antioxidants from the South American super-leaf yerba mate, as well as containing zero sugar and zero calories. The ideal summer picnic alternative.
