Happy Friday cocktail lovers! I have exciting news to share in the form of a brand new line of canned cocktails. The hard kombucha makers over at JuneShine have added spirits to their lineup and developed three brand new canned cocktails. And they were sweet enough to send me samples as part of their official launch.
There are a few pretty exciting things about these new JuneShine canned cocktails worth noting right off. First, each can has two shots for real liquor! Two shots! Of real liquor! Those are both excellent right off the bat. Second, they do not have added sugar which means they are relying on the real fruit juices for flavor which is another great sign. And then there is the packaging.
If you saw my IG Reel then you already got a peek at how cool the packaging is on these cans. They each have a designated color and a slightly different vibe for the label design depending on the cocktail. As a designer myself, those details always make an impression on me - and make me hopeful that the cocktails inside are equally as well thought out.
I love the colorful energy the JuneShine canned cocktails are serving so I decided to join in and I dressed up each can with a bendy paper straw and fiesta-themed Swizzly Stick from my shop.
Now let's sip!
JuneShine Tequila Margarita: 
Overall score: 4 / 5
Sweetness:
One shaker = not sweet at all // Five shakers = your teeth may curl
One shaker = does this have booze? Five shakers = OG Four Lokos
My very first thought with my first sip of this ready-to-drink margarita was "wait, did I salt this rim?" I didn't. But this cocktail has a hint of that salty goodness right in the cocktail. A quick peek at the label confirmed that JuneShine did add a touch of sea salt to their pre-mixed margarita and it is everything!
The JuneShine Tequila Margarita checks all the boxes for a quality margarita. It has a fresh citrus flavor with the perfect amount of tartness and no yucky, overly sweet margarita mix in sight. The extra touch of salt really rounds off the flavor and makes it darn close to a freshly mixed margarita. I was also impressed by the quality of the tequila and the sparkling water gave it a little extra kick.
Overall, I really enjoyed this JuneShine canned cocktail marg.

JuneShine Vodka Soda: 
Overall score: 4 / 5
Sweetness:
One shaker = not sweet at all // Five shakers = your teeth may curl
One shaker = does this have booze? Five shakers = OG Four Lokos
I am generally a little nervous about trying vodka sodas. I prefer a really flavorful cocktail so vodka sodas do not usually fit the bill for me. But this Passion Fruit Vodka Soda from JuneShine won me over.
It is way more flavorful that I was expecting. It took me a few sips to realize I wasn't sure what the fruit flavor was exactly and I had to peek at the can to see. It has passion fruit, pineapple, and lemon! And it is soooo good!
The JuneShine Vodka Soda is a touch sweeter than the margarita but you can tell the sweetness is naturally from the fruit and not a bunch of added sugar. The hint of sweet is nicely balanced with the fruit flavors, vodka, and bubbles. I enjoyed this JuneShine Vodka Soda!

JuneShine Rum Mai Tai:
Overall score: 5 / 5
Sweetness:
One shaker = not sweet at all // Five shakers = your teeth may curl
One shaker = does this have booze? Five shakers = OG Four Lokos
This canned cocktail has layers! Layers of flavor. First sip, tropical. Second sip, pineapple. Third sip, is that coconut?? YES!
This JuneShine Rum Mai Tai is very unexpected. It has so many flavors going on that with each sip you pick up on something a little different. This Mai Tai has a great coconut-y rum flavor plus pineapple, orange, cherry, and lime! And for once, I think I really did taste each of those. The cherry really surprised me yet it fits perfectly.
It think this might be my cocktail of the summer!

Would I buy the JuneShine canned cocktails again?
Yes please! Especially that Mai Tai. But I really liked each of these canned cocktails.
They were each very different from on another with their own signature flavors - which is not necessarily standard from some ready-to-drink cocktail lines. I've tried *a lot* of full canned cocktail line ups and it is actually more common to have them all taste fairly similiar. But JuneShine does not fall into that category. They have created three distinct, super tasty canned cocktails.
