Pre-mixed drinks bring the elements of a cocktail or mixed serve together before the bottle or can is opened, offering a convenient alternative to measuring spirits, mixers and modifiers individually.
The category ranges from bottled cocktails and Italian-style spritzes to Gin & Tonic, hard seltzers, vodka mixes and Japanese-inspired RTDs, with formats spanning single serves, four-packs and larger cases.
The collection also includes cocktail kits such as the Aperol Spritz & Prosecco Gift Pack, bringing together the components required to prepare a classic serve at home.
Bottled Cocktails
Bottled cocktails are pre-batched drinks designed to recreate a familiar cocktail with minimal preparation.
Styles can range from spirit-forward drinks such as the Negroni to fruit-led cocktails including the Bellini and French Martini.
The collection includes Cipriani Bellini, alongside limited and seasonal releases from producers such as The Everleigh Bottling Co, Sacred and Tiny's when available.
Depending on the style, they may simply require chilling and pouring or serving over ice with a garnish.
Spritz & Aperitivo Drinks
The Spritz is built around refreshment, typically combining an aperitivo with sparkling wine and soda.
The collection includes ready-to-serve interpretations such as Zonzo Estate Roro Aperitivo Spritz and Zoncello Limoncello Spritz, alongside the Aperol Spritz & Prosecco Gift Pack for preparing the classic drink yourself.
Zonzo Estate Bellini di Cristina and Cipriani Bellini broaden the sparkling aperitivo selection through fruit-led Italian-inspired styles.
Gin & Tonic
Few mixed drinks are as enduring as the Gin & Tonic.
Pre-mixed versions balance gin, tonic and carbonation in a ready-to-drink format, removing the need to measure individual ingredients while retaining the familiar juniper, citrus and tonic bitterness of the classic serve.
Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin & Tonic is available in both four-pack and case formats, bringing one of Australia's best-known contemporary gin producers into the pre-mixed category.
Hard Seltzers
Hard seltzers combine an alcoholic base with sparkling water and flavour, generally producing a lighter, highly carbonated style of pre-mixed drink.
The range includes White Claw Hard Seltzer in Mango and Natural Lime alongside Smirnoff Seltzer in Mango and Passionfruit.
Available in both smaller packs and cases, these styles are designed primarily around freshness, carbonation and uncomplicated drinking.
Japanese & Contemporary RTDs
Japan has a particularly established culture of canned and pre-mixed alcoholic drinks, including citrus-led highballs and chūhai-inspired styles.
Suntory -196 Double Lemon and Double Peach provide examples within the collection, combining pronounced fruit character with a ready-to-drink format.
Contemporary Australian releases such as Brookvale Union Vodka & Peach Iced Tea broaden the category further, demonstrating how RTDs now move well beyond conventional spirit-and-soda combinations.
Cocktail Packs & Entertaining
Pre-mixed drinks are particularly useful when serving a group, where consistency and ease of preparation can matter as much as the individual cocktail.
Four-packs and cases of Gin & Tonic, hard seltzer and Japanese RTDs provide straightforward larger-format options, while bottled Bellinis and Spritzes can be chilled and served directly.
Cocktail kits offer another approach. The Aperol Spritz & Prosecco Gift Pack, for example, provides the principal components of a classic Spritz rather than supplying the drink already mixed.
Choosing Cocktails & Pre-Mixed Drinks
For an aperitivo-style drink, look towards Spritzes and Bellinis from Zonzo Estate and Cipriani.
For a classic spirit-and-mixer serve, Four Pillars Gin & Tonic provides a straightforward option, while White Claw and Smirnoff Seltzers sit towards the lighter, more refreshing end of the category.
Suntory -196 offers a Japanese approach to fruit-driven RTDs, while bottled cocktails provide the closest option to a bar-style drink with minimal preparation.
