Lemon shake-ups, the freshly squeezed non-alcoholic lemonade prepared by shaking muddled fresh lemons and sugar with water and ice, inspired the creation of Shake Up Cocktails, a new line of craft-inspired 6% ABV cocktails. This premium canned offering offers a convenient way for adults to savor a refreshing beverage they may have once sipped in their childhood at a state fair—and this sense of fun comes through flavors like Peach Shake Up, Cherry Shake Up, and, exclusive to this summer's Indiana State Fair, a Pineapple Whip flavor reminiscent of an iconic Disney World treat, Dole Whip.
Beyond serving up full-flavor experiences brimming with nostalgia, Shake Up Cocktails prioritizes better-for-you ingredients: real fruit, real cane sugar, real spirits, and recipes that are all-natural and gluten-free.
