On [The Rocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-hawaiian-cocktail) Premium Cocktails is known for its bottled, ready-to-pour cocktails and for those drinking occasions that call for lighter, more convenient packaging, the company introduced On The Rocks Cans.

These [sparkling canned cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-vodka-drink) looked to classic serves for inspiration but offer a refreshing, modern twist on timeless favorites. While the Sparkling Lime Margarita is crafted with Tres Generaciones Plata Tequila, house-made triple sec and a touch of agave, the Cucumber & Lemongrass Mule is a light, refreshing option made with EFFEN Vodka and real cane sugar. Rounding out the trio, [Mango & Mint Mojito](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-rum-canned-cocktails) builds on a base of blended dark and white Cruzan Rum.

Up until now, the cocktail company has focused on non-carbonated bottled cocktails, but this new launch responds to the demand for premium, portable alcoholic drinks.
