We are exploring the world of Ready to Drink Cocktails this month, including our exciting new Oliver’s Own Cocktails!

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 August 1-31, 2026 at all four Oliver’s Market locations.
