If you've ever wanted to sip on a minty mojito or energizing espresso martini without having to make one yourself, canned cocktails may be a worthwhile buy. As one of the latest trendy additions to appear in the supermarket's alcohol aisle, convenient ready-made refreshments are a saving grace for last-minute gatherings and late nights. Throwing a party and want to serve fancy drinks without taking on the role of a full-time bartender? Canned alcoholic beverages are easy to elevate and come in enough flavors to fill a drink menu, so you won't have a hard time finding a pre-mixed version of your preferred bar order. But besides choosing the best options and classing them up, there's another step you should always take when serving ready-to-drink cocktails.

While there’s always a time and place for a classic margarita (or one of its many highly drinkable variations ), there’s so much more you can do with tequila.

However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.

From late May to September, it's peach season up and down the east coast of the United States. Farmers markets and orchards are suddenly flush with the fuzzy, delicious, juicy fruit piled high in baskets, perfect for eating fresh, baking into peach pies, or canning for cold winter nights when we're reminiscing about the warmer weather. If you trek out to the orchard and fill up a few baskets of peaches, you'll need to store these stone fruits appropriately, even in the short term.
