Canned Cocktails vs. DIY Cocktails

The Great Debate: Convenience vs. Customisation

When planning summer events, there’s always one question: Should you serve ready-to-drink cocktails or make your own from scratch? The answer depends on your priorities, but spoiler alert: there’s a reason premium canned cocktails are booming.
Let’s break it down.

DIY Cocktails: The Pros and Cons

Pros:
Customisable to personal taste
Great for smaller, intimate gatherings
Fun for hands-on hosts

Cons:
Time-consuming, especially in large quantities
Requires bar tools, glassware, ice, and ingredients
Quality varies based on who’s mixing

DIY is ideal when you have a pro bartender on hand or just a few friends to impress.

Canned Cocktails: The Modern Solution

Pros:
Zero prep, zero stress
Perfectly balanced every time
Great for picnics, beach days, weddings, and festivals
Eco-friendly packaging and easy to recycle

Cons:
Less customisation
Still requires chilling (but only briefly!)
