SpiritedZine 2020 Canned Cocktail Awards

While 2020 has been a year of changes and challenges for all, Canned Cocktails have managed to propel themselves into the global spotlight. Whether you’re looking at the quality of the offerings or the sheer quantity available, this past year has seen the bar raised to another level. With that in mind, SpiritedZine began putting together its first ever Canned Cocktail Awards.

Over 100 canned cocktails from across the globe took part in the inaugural SpiritedZine Canned Cocktail Awards. The field was varied with RTD offerings featuring spirit bases of Vodka, Gin, Tequila, and Whiskey, all of which delivered quality and innovation. The drinks were broken up by spirit base with Vodka and Tequila being the two most competitive fields, and Whiskey showing the most variety when it comes to ABV. Four judges taste through every canned cocktail at least twice.

Unlike other spirits competitions, the SpiritedZine Canned Cocktail Awards only gives out four medals per category: one Double gold, one Gold, one Silver, and one Bronze. We also gave out awards for Best Can Design, Best Producer, Most Innovative Canned Cocktail, and Best Canned Cocktail (our top overall award).
