The brand's vacuum-distilled Jalapeño Margarita and Cosmopolitan formulations are now available across 175 locations.

The resulting shelf-stable cocktails require no additional mixing or garnishes. The current LCBO launch of [Civil Pours'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/civil-pours) ready-to-serve cocktail line features two of the brand's six core offerings, with plans to introduce a limited-edition [Blackberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogen-sparkling-water) & Basil Gin Smash collaboration in May. Packaged in 750ml and 240ml glass bottles, these ready-to-serve cocktails maintain quality for months after opening and are produced through sustainable practices that repurpose would-be food waste. Beyond retail, Civil Pours supplies draught cocktails to Toronto hospitality venues and engages consumers through experimental '[Will it Rotovap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/will-perform)' distillation projects featuring unconventional ingredients like cereal and candy.
