Zaddy's Gin Sonic

Zaddy's Gin Sonic is a gin-based ready-to-drink cocktail — gin with lime, mint and a splash of tonic over seltzer — at 5.5% ABV in a 4-pack of 12oz cans, and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA. Born in Petaluma, California, it is a lighter, low-sugar take on the Japanese "Gin Sonic": gin stretched with equal parts soda and tonic, minus the 32 grams of sugar hiding in a traditional gin and tonic.

The Gin Cocktail, Finally in a Can

Zaddy's was founded by Bay Area friends who, in their words, couldn't find any of their favorite gin cocktails in cans — so they canned one themselves. The Gin Sonic bridges hard seltzer and the premium bar cocktail: real gin, organic cane sugar, organic lemon juice, lime, natural quinine and spearmint, and sea salt, with a 1.5-year shelf life and perforated shrink-sleeve labels for recyclability. The brand is a 1% For The Planet member, directing 1% of revenue to environmental non-profits. Sibling flavors include Corpse Reviver and Gin(ger) Fizz.

Tasting Notes

Light and refreshing — the gin sits in the background behind bright lime, cool mint and a whisper of tonic bitterness over crisp seltzer. Built for a hot day and an outdoor party.

How to Enjoy

Serve ice cold, straight from the can, over a hot afternoon. It pairs with light snacks — think ceviche, poke, or a simple cheese board — and needs nothing else.
