To bring whiskey sipping into sunlight hours, right on time for summer, Sagamore Spirit today announced the national launch of its ready-to-drink canned craft cocktails in three vibrant flavors: Pineapple Ryegarita, Honey Paloma and Lemon Tea Fizz. Made with Sagamore Spirit's award-winning straight rye whiskey and co-created by the innovative mixology minds of Baltimore-based CAnE Collective, each recipe was developed to showcase the best of Maryland-style rye – approachable, versatile, yet full-bodied.
Made with organic juices and naturally gluten-free, Sagamore Spirit's rye whiskey canned craft cocktails are ready to enjoy wherever the day takes you:
The three cocktails will be sold together in a 6-can variety pack, as well as in single-flavor four-packs – all available in major markets where Sagamore Spirit is sold.
For those in Sagamore Spirit's home state of Maryland, Sagamore Spirit will also release three new canned cocktail recipes this summer – Orange Crush, which will also be available in Washington, D.C., Delaware, and New Jersey, and pays homage to the famed cocktail that originated in Ocean City, Md., as well as Ginger & Rye and Watermelon Sour, both of which will be available exclusively at Sagamore Spirit's Baltimore distillery:
"We love mixing our Maryland-style rye into creative, fun cocktails and thought it was time to give whiskey fans – old and new – a premium canned cocktail that can be enjoyed wherever the day takes you with just the crack of a can," said Brian Treacy, Sagamore Spirit's co-founder and president of distillery operations. "We took our time perfecting these recipes with the talented mixologists at CAnE Collective, and each is layered with flavor and our award-winning rye whiskey in every sip. From beach to boat to late-night bonfire, our ready-to-drink cocktails are meant to be enjoyed during almost any fun summer moment."
Sagamore Spirit's variety pack of canned cocktails will be sold at an SRP of $19.99, and 4-packs of individual recipes will be sold at an SRP of $15.99.
