These Served full-strength cocktails are being launched by the Ellie Goulding-backed ready-to-drink alcohol brand as a series of bar-grade beverages perfect for consumers to try when on the hunt for a premium libation experience. The cocktails come canned for convenience when it comes to storage, chilling and serving, but don't skimp on flavor to make them a must-try amongst avid mixology enthusiasts alike. The cocktails come in four flavor options including Strawberry Daiquiri, Lychee Martini, Cosmopolitan and Espresso Martini, which each come in with a 14.9% ABV.
Co-Founder Dean Ginsberg spoke on the Served full-strength cocktails saying, "We’re hugely excited about this launch. We are delivering genuine innovation to the super premium cocktail category with new cocktails not currently on shelf. As a brand Served also attracts a much younger consumer compared to current super premium brands on the market – so we can add real value and drive incremental growth to the category."
