But there are times when that’s just not possible—or simply not appealing. That’s when ready-to-drink cocktails really shine. We set out to find the best, most readily available canned versions of three classic cocktails: a Negroni, margarita, and Moscow mule. Our winners can elevate wherever your end-of-summer adventures may take you. Take it from this newsletter editor, who recently passed the time waiting on a delayed flight to Paris by sipping an herbaceous Negroni over ice in a plastic cup while sitting on the floor of JFK airport—and felt trés chic doing it. (Yes, our Negroni pick is travel-sized.) And if your adventure is just to your front porch after a long day and a sweaty, sticky commute, well, that’s OK too.
