Each of these scratch-made Canned Cocktails was artfully crafted and thoughtfully blended for maximum goodness featuring Dogfish Head Distilling Co. spirits. These flavor-forward, culinary-inspired recipes, compounded by each drink’s unique back story.

Blueberry Shrub Vodka Soda (7.0% ABV) – Inspired by the James Beard Award-nominated bar program at our geographically-enamored seafood restaurant, Chesapeake & Maine, in Rehoboth Beach, this scratch-made Canned Cocktail begins with our vodka distilled with blueberries. It is then macerated with lightly sweetened balsamic and red wine vinegar to create a blueberry shrub vodka and is blended with soda water. The ensuing deep, burgundy-colored libation is juicy and subtly sweet from the blueberries, with a slightly sour and complex fruity character from the vinegar.

Strawberry & Honeyberry Vodka Lemonade (7.0% ABV) – Inspired by Sam’s visits to his friend’s honeyberry farm in coastal Maine, this scratch-made Canned Cocktail features our vodka distilled with honeyberries, macerated with strawberries and blended with a house-made lemonade. Light coral in color with a fresh-squeezed lemonade haze, it exudes the well-balanced tartness of fresh-squeezed lemon combined with a sweet berry taste

Cherry Bergamot Whiskey Sour (7.0% ABV) – Developed to accentuate the nuances of our malt whiskey, this ready-to-drink Canned Cocktail takes our malt whiskey distilled with tart cherries and highly-fragrant, citrusy bergamot oranges, and blends it with a house-made sour mix. Light amber in color, it is chock full of oak and vanilla whiskey flavors balanced by notes of citrus and dark cherries with a hint of honey, lemon and bergamot.

From conducting quality control analyses and tasting panels to garnering feedback from guests at their coastal Delaware restaurants and taproom, the development of these Canned Cocktails was recognized and rewarded in late 2020.
