After redefining Minnesota craft beer and leading the nation with groundbreaking THC beverages, what do you do for an encore?

 

Let’s have a drink.

 

Introducing Surly Canned Cocktails, perfectly portable vodka-based drinks now available in Lemon Drop and Cherry Limeade flavors.

 

“There’s been a real demand, especially among younger Surly drinkers, for us to make a craft cocktail,” said Surly CEO and Founder Omar Ansari. “With Lemon Drop and Cherry Limeade, we’ve created locally-made, bartender-quality drinks that folks can enjoy anywhere.”

 

These beverages set a new bar for canned cocktails:

 

• Quality. These aren’t watered down seltzers. Real spirits, real juice, real flavor. Really.
• Portability. Enjoy them at the pre-party, the party-party, and the after-party. You go where the day takes you, and so do these.
• Convenience. No liquor bottle, no glass, no garnishes, no shaker, no crushed ice. It’s all in the can and it’s all in your hand.

 

These are ideal cocktails for the moment, whether it’s the beach, the barbecue, or the backyard.

 

Here’s what you need to know about the two introductory offerings:

 

• Lemon Drop. All-natural ingredients, real lemon flavor, no candy nonsense, no shortcuts. Bold, tart, and crisp with lower carbonation, Lemon Drop keeps it smooth and easy-drinking. This ain’t a shandy, it’s a Surly.
• Cherry Limeade. If you’re expecting a syrupy, corner-store cherry drink, adjust your expectations. Surly’s Cherry Limeade uses all-natural ingredients to deliver a real cherry-lime bite. Tart, bright, and unapologetically bold, it centers smooth over fizzy and finishes clean.

 

As noted above, both cocktails are vodka-based and come in at 6% ABV. They’ll be available in bars and on shelves in 4-packs of slim 12oz cans beginning June 1st.
