Canned cocktails were rare when they began writing a business plan four years earlier.

A tropical classic in its purest form, it’s a precise blend of silver, Jamaican, and aged rums that co-mingle with lime and sugar to do the proper work of chasing the scurvy away.Cohen, a former Chicago resident who worked at the late, great Pastoral cheese and sandwich shop, launched the brand with childhood friend Yoni Reisman in 2019, just as the ready-to-drink space was heating up. Tasting Notes: Citrus Peel, Crisp Tart Lemon, and Floral Notes of Dried Lavender.ĭAIQUIRI : Rum | Lime | Cane Sugar (48 Proof / 24% ABV)Ī far cry from its unholy, frozen cousin, the Tip Top Daiquiri is a delicate balance of ingredients and a reminder that this Caribbean crown jewel, when done right, requires expertise of even the finest drink slingers. After all, the phrase itself is defined as “surpassingly wonderful.” The drink first showed up in 1920’s Paris, but we think it deserves a proper introduction to a larger swarm of fans. Tart lemon and floral honey balance each other, while the gin’s botanicals give it a crispness that’ll put extra spring in your step. Tasting Notes: Salted lime with grassy vegetal notes from tequila, a juicy mouthfeel, and a finish of fresh orange rind.īEE’S KNEES : Dry Gin | Lemon | Honey (52 Proof / 26% ABV)Ī Prohibition era standard that deserves wider acclaim, the Bee’s Knees is a classic for a reason. After all, everyone associates something with a margarita - be it the beach, chips and salsa, or “it’s five o’clock somewhere.” A celebration of the drink that’s traveled far and wide, Tip Top’s Margarita sports a simple mix of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur. MARGARITA: Tequila | Lime | Orange Liqueur (52 Proof / 26% ABV) Small but potent, Tip Top has received national acclaim for its always balanced, never too sweet cocktails. Tip Top’s 100ml classic canned cocktail recipes are developed by seven-time James Beard Award nominated mixologist Miles Macquarrie (of Atlanta’s Kimball House and Watchman’s). Tip Top Proper Cocktails was founded in 2018 by childhood friends and music industry veterans Neal Cohen and Yoni Reisman after they recognized a gap in the market for a quality cocktail that could be enjoyed with convenience at a concert, dinner party, tailgate, or simply at home.

Individual cans of the Margarita will also be available in stores in six states (Colorado, Florida, Georgia, New York, South Carolina, and Texas) in May 2021. Shaken cocktail 8-packs are available starting March 24, via Tip Top’s website and will ship by April 30, 2021. The Shaken line is the second release from the Atlanta-based canned cocktail brand, joining the original “Stirred” lineup – the ever-popular Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Manhattan – which launched in September 2019. Tip Top Proper Cocktails is excited to announce its new “Shaken” line, featuring three all-new, ready-to-enjoy 100ml canned cocktails: a Margarita, Daiquiri, and Bee’s Knees.
