International Canned Cocktail Day

International Canned Cocktail Day is the day to celebrate the cocktail that is as easy to enjoy as opening a can. International Canned Cocktail Day honors the innovation, convenience, and creativity of ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails packaged in cans. These cocktails were not long ago a niche concept and frowned upon compared to a handcrafted cocktail. That has changed and now you can find a canned cocktail for any mixed drink and as consumers seek out quality drinks with ease, canned cocktails have bridged the gap between convenience and taste, making sophisticated sipping more accessible than ever.

Get ready to rock your taste buds! In celebration of International Canned Cocktail Day on Tuesday, Sept. 10, Sammy Hagar‘s award-winning Sammy’s canned cocktails are hitting the shelves at 60 BevMo! locations throughout Northern and Southern California.

“As a California native, I’m thrilled to introduce Sammy’s top-shelf sparkling rum cocktails in a can to BevMo! locations throughout the state,” said Hagar. “Made with all high-end, all-natural ingredients, these canned cocktails are far and above the competition and fit right into the California lifestyle.”

Hagar’s award-winning Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum infuses bold island flavors into Sammy’s line of canned cocktails. Two standout flavors, Pineapple Splash, with a hint of spicy jalapeño, and Cherry Kola Chill, a nostalgic twist on classic cherry cola, are now available at BevMo!. Crafted with all-natural ingredients and sweetened with agave, these refreshing cocktails are 5.5% ABV, under 130 calories, and only five grams of sugar per 12 oz. can.

About Sammy Hagar:

For more than five decades, Sammy Hagar has been recognized as one of the best and most accomplished lead singers and songwriters in rock music. From breaking into the industry with the seminal hard rock band Montrose, to his multi-platinum solo career, to his ride as the frontman of Van Halen, Chickenfoot and his latest best-selling supergroup, The Circle, Hagar has amassed 25 Platinum albums on sales surpassing 50 million worldwide. Along his journey, he has set the tone for some of the greatest rock anthems ever written with songs like “I Can’t Drive 55,” “Right Now,” and “Why Can’t This Be Love,” and earned the highest respect of the music industry with a Grammy Award, induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Since opening his flagship Cabo Wabo Cantina in 1990, Hagar has turned a lifelong passion for great food, music and spirits into a thriving lifestyle brand encompassing restaurants and spirits. A pioneer in the spirits industry, Hagar launched Cabo Wabo Tequila in 1996 and catapulted it into the #2 ultra-premium tequila brand in the United States, before selling it in 2010 for a record-breaking nine-figure deal. He now owns an award-winning portfolio of top-shelf spirits and beer, including Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, a partnership with rock icon Rick Springfield, Santo Spirits, a partnership with tastemaker Guy Fieri, Sammy’s Beach Bar Cocktails and Red Rocker Brewing Co. 

Hagar’s thriving restaurant portfolio includes the original Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabos San Lucas, home to the rocker’s legendary annual Birthday Bash celebrations, Cabo Wabo Beach Club in Huntington Beach, which celebrated its one-year anniversary in May; Cabo Wabo Cantina on the Las Vegas Strip; which is celebrating its 15-year anniversary this year; and Sammy’s Beach Bar and Grills in Cleveland, Maui, Honolulu and Las Vegas airports. Earlier this year, Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas debuted Sammy’s Island, a tropical pool getaway inspired by Hagar’s music and Baja beach vibe. The historic theater in his hometown of Fontana, California was recently remodeled and renamed Stage Red Theater in his honor.
