Australian company [Mandatory Spirit Co.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandatory-spirit-co) creates pre-mixed cocktails and packages them as single-serve Boxtails. These ready-to-drink cocktails are available in varieties like Mai Tai, Passionfruit Martini and Pink Gin Daiquiri, with the former being the newest addition to the line of cocktails.

The company also offers its Boxtails in the form of two-liter boxes and this new format shares a more convenient way for individuals to indulge, and take the small-format packs on the go. Thanks to their style, the products also boast a sense of nostalgia that reminds of juice boxes.

A single serving shares just 60 calories, plus the taste of real fruit juice and spirits.
