Top Ready-To-Drink Cocktails to Pack for the Ultimate Tailgate

August 26, 2025

Get your game face on and gear up for tailgating season! Arguably, the best season, you have to do it right, to do it justice. Whether you’re representing your alma mater or hanging out with the pro team fans, there’s one thing you can’t do without to bring it home: the drinks. We’ve got you covered with our top two tailgating cans for your next cooler-packing session! 

Have a Day Transfusion

The Have A Day brand was founded by friends and, “fueled by premium tequila and camaraderie,” ironically, two key ingredients for a great tailgate party! The whole vibe is about having a good time with good people and a good can in hand. 

The Transfusion Tequila Cocktail is a ready-to-drink can made from only the best ingredients: premium blanco tequila, sparkling water, and natural flavors, with no artificial nonsense. It’s modeled after the classic golf cocktail of the same name, made with grape juice. The Have A Day Transfusion is 5% ABV and 100% tailgate-ready. 

Lift Bridge Grape Ape

Lift Bridge Brewing Co. was founded in 2008 and began its brewing journey with high-quality craft beers. Known throughout the Midwest for delicious drinks and exceptional flavors, they’re now a staple far beyond their home region and have since ventured into sodas, seltzers, malted beverages, RTDs, and mocktails. 

One of our favorite malted beverages is the Grape Ape, a premium cocktail-inspired can with grape and lemon-lime flavors and a satisfying sip. It’s a little bit sweet, a little bit sour, and a lot of ABV at 7%. It’s the grape soda for grown-ups and a tailgate party must-have!
