Tip Top Proper's canned classic cocktails

Choose from the full-strenth Negroni, Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Margarita, Bees Knees, or Daiquiris ranging from 48 to 74 proof.

Ohza's fruity mimosas and bellinis

Ohza Mimosas and Bellinis, $39 for 12

Instead of lugging four Champagne bottles, two cartons of juice, and a dozen plastic flutes along for a day the beach, pool, or boat, lighten your load with the more convenient equivalent: a 12-pack of Ohzas mimosas or bellinis.

The line of peach bellinis and mimosas in classic, mango, and cranberry flavors is made with premium bubbly and 20-30% fruit juice. And because there are no added sugars, Ohza says they contain 80% less sugar and 60% less calories than versions made at home or by your brunch bartender.

Dont underestimate Golden Rules small-but-mighty classic cocktails. Yes, the 100-milliliter cans may be compact (making them extra portable for travel). And they have a low calorie count: just 80-100 calories each.
