These Canned Cocktails Are Game Day Ready, and Will Make Everyone Think You Hired a Bartender

Throwing a Super Bowl party is basically its own sport (and the only sport I’m even remotely good at). There’s the planning, the grocery lists, the mental math of how many wings is “enough wings” (answer: there’s never enough wings). The pressure of getting both the food and drinks just right is real. You want crowd-pleasing snacks and drinks that feel festive but don’t require you to play bartending during the commercials. That’s why I’ve become such a believer in a really good canned cocktail on game day.

A quality canned cocktail keeps the party moving and makes your hosting duties so much easier. Stock the fridge, crack one open when kickoff hits, and actually enjoy time with friends. No last-minute ingredient runs, no sticky counters, no playing bartender all night.

If you aren’t familiar with Toucan Cocktails, this is the perfect time to get acquainted. The company packages their cocktails in a two-can shaker so that the ingredients are freshly mixed when you pour the top can into the bottom. Then it’s just a matter of adding ice, shaking and pouring that delicious elixir into the glass of your choice. Even better, each can contains two cocktails—one for you, one for a friend.

Toucan Margaritas – 6 Pack (12 Cocktails), $59.99 at Toucan Cocktails

Each cocktail variety costs $59.99 when purchased in a 6-pack, but if you buy two more 6-packs, then you get free shipping (that’s a $10 savings).

Previous Toucan Cocktails customers rave about the product on the company’s website, with each variety getting some love from fans.

“Amazing cocktails,” one person wrote in their review. “Everyone rated them either a 9.5 or a 10 out of 10, so a great choice for our gathering!”

Another person appreciated the variety pack so they could try each of the six flavors.

“Enjoyed all of these,” they wrote. “So easy, unique and great tasting. Would definitely recommend!”
