    Why Buy Cutwater?

    There’s a difference between grabbing a canned cocktail because it’s convenient and actually enjoying the drink itself. Cutwater sits in that second camp. The brand takes familiar bar drinks and puts real spirits behind them, so you get something closer to a cocktail you’d order at a bar without having to pull out the shaker, bottles, ice, and half the kitchen cabinet.

    When you buy Cutwater online, you also get plenty of room to pick according to your mood instead of settling for whatever happens to be in the cooler. That makes it easier to keep a few different cocktail styles on hand, especially when you’re buying for more than one person.

    Real Cocktails Without the Bar Setup

    A margarita is one of those drinks that can be surprisingly easy to get wrong at home. The Cutwater Lime Margarita takes care of the tequila, triple sec, and lime balance for you, while still giving you the option of pouring it over fresh ice and adding a salted rim. It’s a practical choice when you want a margarita but have no interest in measuring tequila and squeezing limes.

    It also helps that Cutwater isn’t treating every cocktail like a sugary soft drink with alcohol added later. The company builds many of its canned drinks around spirits from its own portfolio, including tequila, vodka, rum, gin, and whiskey.

    There’s More Than One Kind of Night

    Maybe you’re having friends over and want something easy, or you’re the kind of person who gets bored after drinking the same cocktail three weekends in a row. Cutwater gives you plenty of ways to keep things interesting.

    The Cutwater Vodka Mule keeps things simple with vodka, ginger beer, and lime, while the Cutwater Tiki Rum Mai Tai takes things in a completely different direction. It brings a sweeter, more tropical feel to the lineup.

    There are plenty of familiar cocktails in the lineup, including Bloody Marys, White Russians, Palomas, and several margarita variations, so you can keep switching things up without getting stuck on one style.

    That makes Cutwater easier to buy for a group because you can give everyone a few different styles to choose from instead of trying to guess what they’ll all want.

    You Know What You’re Getting

    There’s also something nice about consistency. When you open a Cutwater, you’re not wondering if tonight’s drink will be stronger, sweeter, or more diluted than the last one. The recipe is already handled, so you can pour it over ice and know exactly what’s coming.

    Some Drinks Are Better Left to the Pros

    There’s also something to be said for cocktails that are annoying to make at home. An Espresso Martini is a good example. You need the coffee component, vodka, liqueur, the right proportions, and enough shaking to get the texture right. Cutwater handles the work before the can ever reaches your fridge. The same idea applies to drinks like the Cutwater Banana Mudslide. You skip the prep and get straight to enjoying the cocktail. 

    And that’s really where the brand makes sense. You’re not buying a shortcut because you don’t care about cocktails. Instead, you’re buying one because sometimes you’d rather spend your evening drinking the cocktail rather than bartending.

    For a bigger get-together, the Cutwater Margarita Variety 12-Pack gives you several margarita styles in one box, which is handy when nobody can agree on a single flavor.

    There are plenty of reasons to buy Cutwater online, especially if you want more variety. And when you’re ready to stock up, The Barrel Tap has plenty of Cutwater options to choose from.
