18 Canned Alcoholic Drinks To Try This Summer
WINE & FIZZ
Cansecco
This premium Italian sparkling wine tastes as good as it looks. The cans might be fun, but the process is serious – each batch is made by a family-owned winery that has been making wine since 1921. A lightly sparkling, crisp and dry white wine which is full-bodied and easy to drink.

Nice
Hailing from the Languedoc region, Nice’s light and pale rosé is dry, crisp and very drinkable. Not sure where to start with the brand? We suggest buying a mixed case, which offers a choice of sauvignon blanc, pale rosé and malbec. A great place to start if you prefer red wine to white or rosé.

PinotPinot
PinotPinot creates lightly sparkling pinot grigio, available in white and rosé. New for this year is the team’s pinot grigio spritzer, a classic dry white wine spritzer at just 5.5% ABV. Ideal for those moments when you want something lower in alcohol and calories, but still fresh and fizzy.

Quello is a naturally fermented, gently sparkling white wine produced by blending Italy’s trebbiano and pagadebit grapes. The drink comes in slim, single-serve cans and is crisp, zesty and refreshing.

An authentic sip.

Ramona
Sommelier Jordan Salcito created RAMONA when she noticed a void in the market for a high-quality drink that consumers could reach for in moments when others were opting for a cold beer. A rumoured favourite of Rihanna’s, pour it over ice or drink it straight from the can for a deliciously sharp organic wine spritzer. RAMONA comes in two flavours: ruby grapefruit and lemon.

The Uncommon
Grown and handpicked in England, these sparkling wines are made using bacchus grapes, so they have a refreshingly sweet yet aromatic taste. And as single servings, there is far less waste when you fancy a glass of fizz rather than a bottle. The brand currently stocks four flavours: bubbly white wine, bubbly rosé, a white wine spritzer and a rosé spritzer. Worth buying for the quirky packaging alone.

COCKTAILS
Hippy Fizz
One of Porter’s Gin’s most-loved recipes – The Hippy Fizz has been pre-batched into individual servings. The rich, herbaceous highball has a tropical base thanks to a combination of pineapple shrub and malted passionfruit which blends with the citrus of Porter’s Gin and herbal note of patchouli. Once chilled, the cocktail is ready to drink – either straight from the can or, for a perfect serve, over ice in a highball glass.
