Two Salt Lake City companies have introduced versions of a Moscow mule, gin and tonic, margarita and other cocktails in a can. The premade drinks — part of a national ready-to-drink trend — are available at select state-run liquor stores in Utah.
The mixed drinks contain 9% alcohol by volume and cost $3.49 to $3.59 per container.
Beehive Distilling, known for its Jack Rabbit Gin, is one of the companies making the convenience cocktails under its new Desolation Distilling label. Simplicity Cocktails, a new Salt Lake City company, is the other maker.
