Dogfish Head Distilling Co.'s Cans Simplify "Crush" Cocktails
Laura McQuarrie — November 10, 2021 — Lifestyle
Dogfish Head Distilling Co. is expanding its range of ready-to-drink cocktails with a pair of new canned drinks that simplify the experience of enjoying "crush" cocktails. The crush, as described by Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer, "is a simply-made combination of spirits and freshly-pressed juice obtained by ‘crush’-ing the fruit with a hand-powered press."
The all-new Blood Orange & Mango Vodka Crush and Lemon & Lime Gin Crush combine craft spirits with real fruit juices and they're designed to be enjoyed straight from the can, no mixing or fancy glasses needed. Both of these canned cocktails capture the taste of coastal Delaware and handmade drinks that are commonly made with vodka, gin, tequila or rum, and generous fresh citrus on top.
