September 10 is International Canned Cocktail Day!

It’s time to start planning your International Canned Cocktail Day celebrations for Tuesday, September 10!

Not to be confused with World Cocktail Day in May, International Canned Cocktail Day is all about celebrating pre-mixed, canned cocktails.

The very first International Canned Cocktail Day was held in 2018 and since then, some of the world’s most popular cocktails have been produced in cans.

These pre-mixed alcoholic beverages, conveniently packaged, have become a favourite for many due to their portability, convenience, and variety of flavours.

Celebrating International Canned Cocktail Day

Promote new flavours
Use the day as an excuse to promote new canned cocktail flavours or brands in your on- or off-premise.

Host a canned cocktail tasting
Invite your loyal customers for a tasting session where everyone can sample and rate different canned cocktails.

Pair with food
Experiment with pairing canned cocktails with different foods to enhance the flavour experience.

Share on social media
Join the global celebration by sharing your favourite canned cocktail or a fun moment on social media using the hashtag #CannedCocktailDay.
