I appreciate the concept of canned cocktails: being able to crack open and enjoy a cocktail just as easily as a beer. They’re exceedingly useful when it comes to stuffing ice chests and entertaining crowds. But often, when I sip a canned cocktail, I find myself wishing it was freshly made—except when I drink LiveWire canned cocktails. Unlike many canned cocktails that are simply ready-to-serve versions of classics, LiveWire features original recipes created by celebrated bartenders.

From the hogo-fueled expressions from the depths of Jamaican dunder pits to the grassy, funky white rums of Haiti and Martinique, there’s a rum out there for everyone, and VinePair has you covered with our picks below.

So maybe you don’t want to make a big batch of eggnog, then wait a day — or weeks — to consume it. 1 Maybe, instead, what you really want is a rich, eggy, creamy cocktail that you can probably make right now, in just a minute or two without any advance prep. What you want, then is a flip — a cocktail with a whole egg in it, and maybe some milk or cream as well.

Resist the urge to call it “The Capitán” — it’s “El Capitán,” and for years, it was the go-to cocktail for cavalry captains who patrolled Peru’s Puno mountains in the early 1900s. In simple terms, El Capitán is a Manhattan made with pisco and garnished with an olive. However, as is so often the case, this drink is also so much more than that. El Capitán is a snapshot of Peruvian history and a celebration of the country’s iconic national spirit.
