In case you haven’t stepped foot outside your door and are lapping in the luxury of air conditioning, it is hot outside. It is officially summer and Mother Nature is making that known with high temperatures and unseemly levels of humidity. If you plan on venturing out to your front porch or backyard, do not go empty-handed. We highly suggest you adults grab a 4-pack of Fishers Island Lemonade, the original cocktail-in-a-can.
This female-founded, canned cocktail is exactly what you need to cool yourself down on hot and humid summer days. They say our homes are our castles, that may be true, but today we find our island. Fishers Island Lemonade uses fresh, premium ingredients and packs a punch at 9% ABV. Founded by Bronya Shillo in 2014, this ready-to-drink canned cocktail is perfect for your indoor and outdoor adventures. Whether you’re enjoying stay-at-home BBQs, golf outings, or the beach; and the best part? The can floats so you never have to worry about losing a drop.
As previously stated, Fishers Island Lemonade is made with all-natural ingredients. This includes the signature lemon and honey, with a kick of premium distilled Vodka and barrel-aged Whiskey. There’s no malt, no high fructose corn syrup, and no artificial flavors or colors. It is a true spirits-based canned cocktail, unlike seltzers, wine coolers, and other malt products, and tastes as fresh as if a bartender just made it in front of you. While it is 100% delicious straight out of the can, it also makes an amazing base for refreshing summer cocktails. Check out a few favorites you have to try this summer:
