They had to rename and rebrand, though, so Cutwater Spirits was born.Įven before the name change, Cutwater nee Ballast Point had been canning cocktails-since 2013. When Ballast Point was bought out in 2015 by Constellation Brands, the distillery was able to strike out on its own since it wasn’t part of the sale. The distillery launched in 2007 as the spirits arm of Ballast Point Brewing, which was one of the original beer makers that defined San Diego as a drinking destination. If the name Cutwater isn’t familiar to you, you’ll probably recognize its former title. Cutwater has also managed to match its quantity with quality, producing refreshing G&Ts and Moscow Mules alongside tinglingly, spiced Bloody Marys, crisp Whiskey Lemon Teas and many more that can only be described as totally crushable drinks. The San Diego distillery just launched canned versions of the Margarita and the Paloma, bringing the total number of cocktails it cans up to 14-the widest range we’ve found anywhere. Leading the way in the canned cocktail movement for the last half decade is Cutwater Spirits. The once niche trend of ready to drink cocktails, those that come in cans and bottles, has achieved escape velocity and you can now pop the top of a Gin and Tonic that is at least as good as the ones you order at your favorite cocktail bar. And they aren’t limited to high quality, handmade Old Fashioneds and Negronis that proliferate everywhere from Manhattan’s East Village to Manhattan, Kansas. One of the undeniable outcomes of the cocktail renaissance that snowballed through the 2000s is that you can get a good cocktail almost anywhere in America.
