Back in the day, we'd pop open a cooler at a party only to find beer, beer, and more beer. And if you weren't hopping on the beer bandwagon, your options were even slimmer. Sipping on neon-tinted wine coolers and sickly sweet Smirnoff Ices weren't exactly the upgrades we were hoping for—and they almost always led to nasty hangovers the next day.

Thankfully, save for parties on college campuses, those days are largely in the past. The ready-to-drink beverage industry is booming with new and exciting craft canned cocktails. We've come a long way from the sugar-spiked malt liquor in a can. Now you can find ready-to-drink cocktails made with inventive flavors, premium spirits, and fresh ingredients.

There are even cans that replicate some of the trendiest drinks du jour. If we told our past selves that we'd be able to enjoy an espresso martini from a can today, they probably wouldn't believe us.

We've rounded up some of our favorite canned cocktails so you know what to look for next time you're at the liquor store. Want more beverage inspo? Check out our favorite canned wines, hard seltzers, and homemade cocktail recipes.

Did you know that the Dirty Shirley was apparently the unofficial drink of the summer in 2022? We didn't either, but we can't deny that we love the grown-up nostalgic vibes of this canned cocktail. It's made with real organic cherry juice too! All you need is a maraschino cherry to top it off.
