We are exploring the world of Ready to Drink Cocktails this month, focusing on the selections that come in can or bottle four-packs. Why not try the four-pack and have extra cocktails on hand for any occasion that arises? We have a great range of offerings this month in both cans and bottles, ranging from classic household names to new drinks and blends to try.
Delicious, convenient, and oh so portable, Ready to Drink (RTD) Cocktails are taking the adult beverage marketplace by storm. You can get fancy and start with the correct glass or chilled mug, pour over ice, add a garnish, and almost convince yourself you made the cocktail the traditional way. OR, you can also skip all of that fuss and just pop the top after a long hike or chores, a swim, a tailgate, or whenever the timing is right for a delicious adult beverage that is ready to enjoy.
Ready to Drink Cocktail Styles
There are a lot of variations in how Ready to Drink cocktails come together, so it pays to take a look at the can and see what the base alcohol ingredient is, if it contains real juice, and whether there are natural or imitation flavors. There is also a good amount of variation — and no correlation between the alcohol level (ABV) and the size of the can, with some on par with beer and some more similar to wine or a traditional cocktail in strength.
Note: All prices in effect from September 1-30, 2026 at all four Oliver’s Market locations.

Elevating Your Experience
For maximum enjoyment, serve these beverages fully chilled at a minimum, and over ice if convenient. Each of these featured beverages is tasty in their original form, but with a little creativity, you can take them up a notch, or into a new flavor direction!
Add a fancy or chilled glass, garnish with traditional cherry, olive, etc., or rim your glass with a tasty salt, sugar, or spice blend, and you are on your way to forgetting that you don’t have a bartender!
