6 premixed low-alcohol cocktails that pack a punch

Summers are short, so you have to make every moment count. Impromptu cocktail get-together? Last-minute dinner party? Extended happy hour? Yes, yes and yes! Low-alcohol ready-made drinks are perfect for unplanned events like these. No need to measure, strain or mix—just open, pour (if you want) and enjoy. They truly are just the thing to make the sunny season last a little bit longer.

Fruity, lively, herbaceous—one of the best things about ready-to-drink cocktails is the range of options. There’s something for every taste and occasion, from tried-and-true classics to more audacious concoctions. These low-alcohol versions are in keeping with the current trend of drinking less, but better. With so many great options that are as convenient as they are delicious, it’s easy to drink light without compromising on flavour. Here are six products that won’t disappoint.

Fruity fun

Looking for something sweet and sophisticated? These two mocktails highlight sumptuous summer fruit—they’re sunshine in a can!

Balanced and refreshing, this low-alcohol sparkling cocktail flavoured with wild strawberries and rhubarb is as satisfying as the original. Savour it by the garden!

What’s summer without lemonade? This twist on a classic perfectly balances the invigorating flavours of grapefruit, rosemary and pink lemonade. It would make a refreshing drink during the next heat wave.

Bursting with brightness

Featuring lemon, mandarin and lime, these ready-to-drink amaretto sours will add some zesty freshness to your summer.

This mocktail tastes just like a traditional sour, with the zippiness of the lemons playing off the round notes of almond. It’s both familiar and wholly original. 

This low-alcohol gin sour is a spin on the classic cocktail, mixing the sweetness of the amaretto with notes of mandarin and tart juniper berries for a wonderfully harmonious flavour, offering much-needed relief from the hot weather.

Fresh and herbaceous

On days when it’s 30 °C in the shade, fresh and thirst-quenching beverages are a must. Look no further than these two refreshments that celebrate nature’s bounty.

 Made with mint, lime and a touch of sugar, this low-alcohol mojito is true to the iconic Cuban cocktail—only with juicy raspberries added in. All that’s missing is the lounge chair!

This Quebec concoction doesn’t fit in any one box. With strawberry, rhubarb, cucumber and wakame seaweed, the taste is fruity, tart, vegetal and slightly salty, all at once. Inspired by its namesake gin, it’s the embodiment of summer in every sense of the word. You’ll feel like you’re on vacation!

The art of simplicity

These fuss-free libations are the key to a summer of fun at balcony hangs, backyard shindigs and everything in between. When your drinks are ready-made, you can simply kick back and say “Cheers!”
