- [Producer] Do you know what you're here to do today?
- Yes!
- [Producer] What are you here to do today?
- Alcohol!
- And we're having cocktails in a can!
(laughing and singing nonsensically)
- Please don't break it. - That's gonna break
by the end of this shoot.
(upbeat music)
- I've gone all out for this one as well.
Did my nails, got the fancy top on.
It's cocktail time.
- Are you a cocktailer?
- Oh, I love cocktails.
- We're drinking alcohol!
- That's what we're doing. - Mhm.
- We're having a few, we're having a few scoops.
A few scoop-íns.
- A few scoops with the boys.
- A few tins.
- (clapping) If you're a gal on the go
and you're going from meeting to meeting
and you don't have time to bring a cocktail shaker
and several little accoutrements,
- The apparatus.
- You know?
And I was doing that.
I was on the bus.
- Oh, I-
(upbeat music)
- Gin. - Gin and tonic.
- I've had this all along the canal, many a times.
- I was nearly gonna say this was one of my favorite
of the mixed can cocktails.
The pink gin.
And look, it's so cute!
It's pink.
- Not a fan of pink gin.
- I'm not a pink gin man myself.
- Gin is my go-to drink.
Although I haven't had a drink in about three months.
It tastes like,
a strawberry yogurt.
- Yogurt?
- Yeah.
- Cause I remember bringing this into festivals
and having it just, 'cause you can have that warm
and it's fine.
- I know.
You're living your best life. - It goes down so easy.
It's like, honestly like a juice to me.
- It feels like I'm at the zoo or something,
looking through the screen.
- There you go.
Take a look at the can.
- Gin. Gin is an angry man's drink.
- Especially the pink one.
- Yeah.
- Drink for the lads.
Bag a can with the lads.
- I hate gender stereotyping. (laughs)
- Cheers!
(dull clinking) - Cheers.
(laughing)
(dull clinking)
- There is a lovely like, raspberry flavor out there.
- I prefer the dry one personally.
- Yeah?
- But I really like Gordon's Gin in general.
- What's a dry drink?
Is isn't that just paper? - It's the normal Gordon's.
- It tastes a bit like 7 Up with a drop of Ribena
or something, or cordial in it.
- It tastes like a Yop.
Tastes like a strawberry Yop.
- It's so good.
- (laughing) It is.
- It's just so good.
- I'm going to finish all of these.
Oh my God.
- I know.
- They're easy, they're good.
They're going to get you bollocksed
if you go through them fast.
Four of these and you're sorted for the night
- With the 6.5%, is it?
- 6.4. - 6.4.
It would blow the head off you.
Like you have 10 of these gone
in the space of half an hour
and you wouldn't even realize.
- You're not getting an alcoholic taste off that?
- Nope.
- I'm getting an alcoholic taste off that.
- Yeah, they make you feel classy
and then you start crying.
It's a beautiful mix, really.
(upbeat music)
- Jackie D and Coke, baby!
This is like, this is what cops drink.
They're like, yeah, you want one more?
Nah, I'm driving.
Ah, have a Jackie D and Coke.
Well, okay.
- Jack Daniels and Cola.
- No.
- Ooh, yeah. - Nope, nope, nope.
- Don't like whiskey? - I used to.
- With whiskey, I am like a little bit of a purist
and I shouldn't be,
so I don't tend to drink the whiskey canned cocktails
that much 'cause I'm like,
"No, I'll make it."
And I'll have a different differently
but actually they're not bad.
- I've never actually had Jack Daniel's, I don't think.
I've had many- I've had most whiskeys.
Just not Jack Daniel's.
- Oh my god, that surprises me.
- The smell is making me feel ill.
- Oh, I love it.
Smells spicy. - Mm.
- Nothing like a spicy drink.
- Normally I'm like, "Give me all the Cola."
'cause I don't want any of the whiskey.
So I, this is probably...
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah, that's a whiskey and Coke.
- Full of flavor.
Oh yeah, man.
- You can't taste any whiskey.
It just tastes like a can of Coke.
(loud exhale)
- Oh yeah.
- There's a very good chance I could throw up right now.
- Is it that bad?
- But this is bearable
because they've really mixed it with Cola.
- What's the sun cream, what flavor is that?
- SPF? - It taste like sun cream.
I've always thought whiskeys,
Jack Daniel's in particular,
tastes like sun cream.
Am I going, am I having a stroke?
- Have you-
- Like when it comes to like textures and tastes,
it's like...
- Right there. - It's right there.
You may as well have put vomit in the glass
in front of me and asked me to take a sip.
- This can should be 50, 50%.
If it's black, it should be 50.
I'm just saying, any kind that's black
It says "Danger! Don't drink."
- And you'd not be able to see through it.
- I think that we've discovered something.
The key to you liking something
is to put it in a can.
- No, because durian fruit in a can,
you can fuck right off.
- Let's just...
We'll see, we'll see where that goes.
- Mm, Okay.
(upbeat music)
(gasps)
- Absolut Mixt.
That's a Dublin pronunciation.
It's mixed out of it.
- It's blueberry and lime.
- Oh, okay.
So it's vodka.
- Carnage!
- If you were treating yourself
and you were feeling a bit bougie
on a Sunday or- - So, yeah.
- A Monday afternoon.
- Look at this beautiful can.
- Gorgeous, yes.
- It's a lovely little can.
- Very aesthetically pleasing.
- Yeah, it is. - Purple and white.
- Actually this is, this is better for you than the gin.
132 calories per can.
- That's not bad, what's the percentage?
Oh, 5%.
- 5%. - Okay.
- So that's less alcohol. - Well, that's not bad.
It matches the shirt as well.
- A sparkling mixed drink with Absolut vodka.
Natural flavouring with the taste of blueberry and lime.
- Absolutely beautiful.
- Absolut! - Oh! I didn't even.
You have a pun radar. (laughing)
Like, unintentional puns.
- I just realized how stupid it is for me,
for us in general, to be drinking gin, whiskey, vodka
and then whatever the next two are.
And I'm here to say, "Whew, let's go."
- You said the wrong word.
You said stupid.
When in actual fact, you meant to say smart.
- Genius.
(soft slurping)
- Oh, its fab.
- Lovely.
But I don't like-
- Where's the vodka? - Yeah.
- Oh nelly, that is good.
- Oh yeah.
That's smooth. - That's a fruity drink.
- Oh, that's dangerous.
- Oh, that is so easy to drink.
- There is no alcohol taste on that shot.
- Mm. - There's barely even a fizz.
- The problem is, is that like,
I, they don't put nearly enough of the spirit
in any of these mixed ones. - No, exactly.
That's the problem with these cans.
- Ooh baby, I'm going to finish this one.
Yeah, this is nice.
Yeah.
- If a lime sneezed on some water.
- It's perfect if you like,
don't want to get wrecked,
you know? - Yeah.
- You know, when you just want to have a stunning time.
- What, who wants that?
- I know. (laughing)
- Refreshing, just like I'm not drinking alcohol at all.
- Yeah. - I shouldn't have done that.
(laughing)
Took two big mouthfuls, nope!
- See, that's how deceptively easy it is to drink!
- Yeah, um, that's gonna go straight to my head.
- I like this one.
This is my friend.
Absolut - [Both] Mixt.
- Yeah, mixed me heart!
(upbeat music)
- Okay, I would say I'm a bit more optimistic
about the whiskey element because I've had a few already.
- Yeah!
- Whiskey highball, what's a highball?
9.4%
- 9.4%.
- 9.4%. alcohol.
(laughing) - Fucking hell.
- Oh, it's no joke.
I'm telling you, Teeling, try it.
It's really good.
- The classic highball.
What is a highball?
A highball is?
- I assume its the name of the cocktail.
- Sour pineapple syrup.
Soda water. - Ooh, hello?
- And then a small batch of Irish whiskey.
(loud slurping)
- Strong, fuck.
It's really strong.
- Oh yeah no, that's, she's there anyway.
- It's nice, isn't it? - Oh.
She's at the door knocking. - But it's a pretty weird mix.
- I just taste like,
it's almost as if somebody diluted whiskey.
- Yeah.
- I don't taste pineapple.
- It's like whiskey and soda water.
- That fully caught me off guard.
I was not expecting it to be that intense.
- That's like water with a little bit of whiskey in it.
- Yeah, but it does not taste like 9%.
- (whispering) How is that 9%?
- (whispering) I don't know.
- Never would I have thought to put pineapple in whiskey.
- But here's the thing,
pineapple is edging his way in everywhere.
He's on pizzas.
He's with whiskey.
And I'm here for it. - I don't mind pineapple
on a pizza. - I fucking love it.
- If somebody gave you this, you'd probably go back
and ask them to put more alcohol in it
because it tastes like it's watered down.
- It does, it tastes like water.
- Yeah.
- Like water with a little bit of whiskey in it.
- Well it's actually, do you know what?
It's not actually as strong now,
tasting it the second time.
- This is not triggering my memories,
(laughing)
this is not triggering my trauma.
- I'm trying to think who'd drink it though.
I don't know anyone who'd be like,
"Oh, I'd love a highball."
This is how whiskey should be done in a can,
9.4% is exactly what you should be looking at.
- That's a slap to the gash there,
you can fucking feel- - Absolutely.
- the whiskey.
(upbeat music)
- This looks absolutely beautiful.
- It smells- - What a stunning can.
- Um, okay. I like a bit of Bacardi.
- It's Bacardi and Coke.
It's spiced rum.
- Thank you.
- Hey, that could be our cop duo name,
Spice & Cola.
- We got a guy, he's stealing cars.
Let's get Spice and Cola on the job, they'll do it.
Nah, they're drunk off Bacardi and Cola!
Ah! That's where they came up with the name.
We should definitely fire them.
- I am very drunk.
(laughing)
Like, it's hit me.
- Gorgeous color combo.
Like a little red and black on a base of cream.
- There's just so much more possibilities with cans.
You can't really do the same with a bottle.
- I know, that's so true.
- I say very drunk, I'm buzzed.
- Yeah, yeah. - I'm quite like...
- Me too.
- My inhibitions. (laughing)
- They're disappearing.
- Wait a minute, Dónal drinking rum?
What's happening?
Arg, it's me Little Beard, kids.
I'm back and I'm drunk.
Talking like a pirate, drinking rum.
Give yourself a name about a beard.
It's what it's all about.
- Oh yeah.
- Ahh. - Mm, I do like that.
- Is it weird that Bacardi kind of reminds me of sun cream?
- Tastes like a slushie
Like a Cola-rum slushie.
- Now that you say slushie,
if I could get some blended ice.
- Oh yeah. - Make a slushie.
- Really like that.
- Yeah. It's lovely.
We're on the same page!
High five!
- I very much get that. - I feel like Bacardi
leaves a film in my mouth.
Not that I drink sun cream on the regular.
- If this is all it takes for me to get drunk now,
I'm a happy man.
- The first sip I had there, I just got Coke.
And I was like, unreal.
- I'm not a huge rum drinker anyway.
- Yeah. But I just feel like
I'd need to top this up with a bit more rum.
Which is fine.
- You'd swear you've given me weed or something.
I just got thinking-
(laughing loudly)
- Whoever mixes it does a good job though.
I'll have to say it's spot on
- This one's super blended.
- Yeah. - Mixed.
Combined very well.
You know. - I like it.
- It's a bit too like,
it feels like an ice cream float.
- Yeah. - You know?
- It would actually probably be an amazing ice cream float.
- It would.
- It was delicious.
It was deceptively easy to drink,
I could drink a whole two of them!
- It tastes like Cola in the cinema.
Do you know what I mean? - It does!
It tastes like a McDonald's Coke.
- I would tend to not go for this
because it says spice.
So I feel like their advertising,
they need to put vanilla in big letters
because fucking numpty over here is going to be like,
"Uh, it's gonna be spicy,"
and I'm not gonna drink it.
- The best by far was the Absolut Mixt blueberry and lime.
- Yeah. He's on the money.
Boom - Boom.
- All of those cans are really easy to drink
which is like... - crazily, easy to drink.
- They're all fantastic.
But each of them have like a time and a place
when you would have them
- You sound exactly like someone on the "Bachelor"
right now.
(laughing)
- Am I the bachelor or am I one of the women's?
- The Bachelorette.
- Yeah. - There we go.
- Stay tuned because we're bringing all new info.
We've all learned that spice,
vanilla is a spice today guys.
- If you want more facts like that.
- Exactly. - More can content.
Like and subscribe, ring that bell, baby.
It's all to come, you guys.
- That was beautiful.
- Stay classy. (laughing)
