Happy Cow Vodka announced its entry into the premium, ready-to-drink canned cocktail space with The Cowgirl Coffee, made with award-winning, additive-free Happy Cow Milk Vodka and robust Arabica coffee.
The Cowgirl Coffee debuted in two varieties, Original and With Cream, with the latter featuring custom cream liqueur. Both western-style cocktails speak to the kind of drinker who isn't after the polished, dressed-up vibe of an espresso martini—they want something that feels more like something they can grab from the cooler than a drink poured tableside. These canned cocktails made "For the Cowgirl in All of Us" signal ease and unpretentiousness and are made for real life, from beach days and festivals to evenings around the bonfire, not special occasions.
