Best Canned Cocktail Drinks

563 canned cocktail drinks tracked, averaging 12.5g carbs and 168 calories per serving. Ready-to-drink cocktails mix a spirit base with a sugary mixer or syrup, so unlike a straight spirit almost all the carbs here come from the mixer, not the alcohol - which is also why the category's score sits well below the pure-spirit types. Sorted by DrinkLeader score (highest first), then carbs and calories.
