Nothing says celebration like a ready-to-drink whiskey cocktail designed for convenience and flavor. Just in time for Father’s Day, here are two exceptional Whiskey RTDs that are sure to impress whether you’re raising a glass in the backyard, the kitchen, or the park.

Snazzy – Whiskey Half & Half Cocktail

Snazzy brings a fresh, playful approach to RTDs, blending high-quality spirits with real ingredients. Their focus on bold flavors and stylish packaging makes them stand out in a crowded market.

The Whiskey Half & Half Cocktail reimagines the classic combination of lemonade and iced tea — popularly known as an “Arnold Palmer” — by adding premium whiskey for an adult twist. With 10% ABV, decaf tea, and natural juices, it’s a perfectly balanced, non-carbonated sipper.

Refreshing yet bold, with strong lemonade notes.

Knox & Dobson – Improved Whiskey Cocktail

Knox & Dobson crafts premium ready-to-drink cocktails with a focus on classic recipes and top-shelf ingredients. Their lineup, featuring everything from Old Fashioneds to Martinis, has earned fan loyalty and critical acclaim.

The Improved Whiskey Cocktail revives an 1862 classic with a blend of straight-aged rye whiskey, Maraska maraschino liqueur, and Angostura bitters. Bottled at 35.4% ABV, it delivers layered spice, oak, citrus, and cherry complexity in one pour.

Oak, zesty citrus, and vibrant cherry notes.
