The days of filling your flask or smuggling your favorite nip are long gone thanks to canned cocktails. And while conveniently packaged wine and spirits aren't necessarily a new idea, we're seeing more canned creations hit the shelves than ever before, likely due to the fact that they're the perfect way to get your buzz on without having to share a bottle (and the germs that come with).

Perfect to pack for the beach, a socially distant backyard barbecue, or a picnic with friends, these innovative cocktails are fun, delicious, and can be enjoyed effortlessly. Pair a refreshing Agua Fresca with a divine plate of nachos, or wash down a tasty hot dog with a spiked punch.

These days, the canned cocktail selections are limitless, and more brands continue to put their own unique spin on something classic. Whether you fancy yourself a refreshing sparkling cider or want to kick back with a chilled margarita, there's an option for every cooler.
