Sagamore Spirit Launches Line Of Rye Whiskey Canned Cocktails Nationwide

Sagamore Spirit recently launched its ready-to-drink canned craft cocktails nationally, with three flavors hinting at summer.

Pineapple Ryegarita, Honey Paloma and Lemon Tea Fizz are made with Sagamore Spirit’s straight rye whiskey and co-created by the mixology minds of Baltimore-based CAnE Collective.

A statement from the distiller notes that each recipe was developed to showcase the best of Maryland-style rye, and is made with organic juices and is naturally gluten-free.
