Horse Neck Kentucky Bourbon has announced a new range of ready-to-drink (RTD) canned cocktails perfect for drinkers to pick up and enjoy that don't require any mixing or preparation.
The canned cocktails are all crafted with the brand's signature Kentucky Straight Bourbon to give each one a 9% ABV, which is closer to what one might expert from a spirit-based cocktail. The drinks come in four varieties including Bourbon Cherry Rye, Bourbon Ginger Ale, Bourbon Mule Spice and Bourbon La Paloma. The cocktails come in 12-ounce slender cans in four-packs of a particular flavor or variety packs.
Co-Founder Kurt Baxter spoke on the new Horse Neck Kentucky Bourbon canned cocktails saying, "From the rich caramel flavor of aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon to the unique flavor profiles made with clean, natural ingredients, Horse Neck really stands out in the premium spirit-based RTD market."
