Post Meridiem Spirit Co. has officially added two new canned cocktails to its RTD beverage line: The Modern Classic Cosmopolitan and The London Dry Southside. Much like the brand's other premium offerings, the two new cocktails feature bar-quality ingredients and are made with expert proportioning.
The Modern Classic Cosmopolitan features a mix of vodka, 100% real cranberry juice, 100% real lime juice, and orange Curacao. In addition, this summery beverage arrives in a subtle, visually-pleasing pink hue. Meanwhile, the London Dry Southside consists of a blend of top-shelf gin, cane simple syrup, 100% real lime juice, and garden mint. As a result, this canned cocktail offers drinkers a crisp and refreshing beverage that's perfect for summer sipping.
“Our customers have been asking for a gin cocktail since we started – we couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve created while staying true to our real-ingredient philosophy," explained Andrew Rodbell, co-founder of Post Meridiem Spirits.
