LOS ANGELES LiveWire Cocktail Co. is pleased to announce the release of the first canned cocktail with Erin Hayes, former bar manager of Chicago’s famed tropical bar Lost Lake. Named Rocket Queen after Erin’s favorite Guns N’ Roses song, the rum-based drink is a bright and juicy mix of Magdalena Rum, absinthe, pomello, cinnamon, and pandan. The cans will be available in CA, NY, NJ, TX, and online for shipping to 46 states (SRP 19.99/4pk).

I’m excited to convert people who might typically go for classics like a Moscow Mule or a Paloma into rum fans with this cocktail!”
