The article discusses the growing trend of store-bought canned cocktails, focusing on Dogfish Headâs offerings in this space. It highlights the distinctive flavors across their lineup of vodka-based cocktails, including passion fruit citrus mule and blood orange mango crush. The reviewer evaluates each drink based on characteristics like refreshment and flavor balance, noting the pleasant and at times overwhelming flavor profiles. Ultimately, the piece conveys both the allure and challenges that accompany the canned cocktail market, with an emphasis on personal consumer experiences and preferences.
The blood orange mango vodka crush cocktail, while heavy on mango, was overpoweringly dominated by a strong blood orange flavor that felt overwhelming and contributed to an off-putting perfume-like taste.
Dogfish Head's entry into the canned cocktail market provides unique flavors like passion fruit and blueberry, standing apart from other brands with a cohesive blend of vodka and fresh ingredients.
Among the new vodka-based canned cocktails, I personally found the passion fruit citrus vodka mule to be the most refreshing and well-balanced option, surpassing the other flavors in both taste and drinkability.
With a 7% ABV, these canned cocktails cater to those who enjoy a flavorful drinking experience without the need for complicated mixology, making them ideal for convenience.
