Premixed-Cocktail

Tasty and refreshingly free of soap, but it drinks like a sweet soda — so the search for a great canned mule continues.

Not an alcohol stand-in, but a genuinely grownup glass to hold at a party.

Doesn't taste like a Moscow Mule, but it is a tasty grownup soda.

A pretty good approximation of a rum and coke.

Unlike their rum and coke, the botanicals here read as soap.

An interesting flavor that doesn't quite land solo, but has potential as a mocktail ingredient.

A nice premixed Aperol-spritz-like thing.

Smoky and spicy, feels like more than a soda — a real find for mezcal fans.

Easy to imagine someone else liking this — just wasn't a personal fit.

Kind of a lot of sugar, but it really tastes like a Negroni.

The best premixed NA Negroni tried so far — better than DIY versions built from separate NA spirits.

Didn't finish the can — and a mule should be much harder to get wrong than this.

Tasty and low sugar, with an unusual mushroom-and-monk-fruit edge that won't be for everyone.

Fine enough, but not great, and not worth the sugar.

Bills itself as an NA margarita, but reads more like an interesting zero-calorie soda.

A convincing daiquiri from a brand that keeps winning — no idea how they do it.

Tasty enough, but doesn't taste particularly grownup — adding Monday "mezcal" didn't help.

A very convincing rendition of a gin and tonic.

Another winner from Parch — a delightful, complex citrus, less smoky than their Piñarita.

A ginger mixer with real bite, standing in for a Dark 'n' Stormy — just sugary.

The spicy pineapple one is good; the rest are hit and miss and collectively very juice-forward.

A darn good approximation of a cosmo — a few drops of Bitter Tears' "Kiki" bitters adds bite without changing the flavor much.

Like an Aperol spritz in a can, but a bit more soda-y.

Drinks like a soda, not a mocktail or a beer — but a quite tasty one.

Had high hopes, but it really just tastes like pomegranate juice — tasty, not very cocktaily.

A super tasty jack-and-coke stand-in, just not special enough — and a lot of sugar (17g).

Tastes nice, but totally forgettable — and expensive to boot.

Super refreshing, tastes close to the real thing — just watch the sugar.
