You can either can your ready-to-drink cocktails in you bar with a canning machine or outsource to a third party, it depends on the volumes you want to can and whether it’s cost effective.
To get started with canning cocktails, you’ll just need cans, lids and labels and your chosen batched drink. Then you can keep the cans properly stored in a refrigerator at the right temperature.
