One of the most recognizable names of the craft spirits movement is now entering the world of RTDs.

The products have launched as a 4-pack with a suggested retail price of $11.99 in Texas, Colorado, South Carolina and Maryland.

Monaco Cocktails

A vibrant combination of real tequila and bright orange flavors, Tequila Sun Crush is the latest ready-to-drink spirit from Monaco Cocktails. The flavor is available now at convenience stores nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2.50-2.99 per 12 ounce can.

Ogden’s Own

Ogden’s Own

Utah distiller Ogden’s Own is rolling out two new canned cocktails this month. The first is Madam Pattirini Gin & Tonic, an assertive yet not overly-bitter G&T aimed for any occasion (7% ABV per 355ml can). That SKU will be complemented by Porter’s Whiskey Cola (7% ABV per 355ml can), which balances sweetness, carbonation, and spice for a refined take on the classic cocktail.

Picnic Brunch

Picnic Brunch

After launching Mimosa and Bloody Mary varieties, brunch-themed RTD cocktail maker Picnic Brunch has added a third flavor with this month’s launch of Bellini (5.5% ABV), made with peach juice, sparkling wine and natural flavors.
