My best (to date) bottled cocktails

I honestly never made one I just realized. Could be interesting.

I bought this seamer: https://www.zonesun.com/products/zonesun-zs-fjg100-manual-can-seamer-bottle-sealing-machine And got the cans from petcan-europe.com - they come in a 200pack but they have various sizes wich come in a 100pack, too. Right now I'm designing Rub On Stickers for on the can as you can't really label them because they are so round.

I did indeed but not with this little ones, as they have only 200ml I like them to have higher ABV. But I also have 500ml-cans with wich I tried a cuba libre and a moscow mule so far. The big fun with them is, that I also have another kind of lid. It‘s a little thinner, looks almost like aluminium foil, has a latch for opening completely but hold drinks with carbonisation as well without leakage. What‘s the fun part? I don‘t open them, I take a glass straw and ram it through the lid into the drink. Almost like you would with a bubble tea with sealed plastic lids, if you know them. It takes a little strenght but there is almost no spillage as one may think it would be. I should post a video of that sometime, haha.

You’re right. I wanted to give an update. I was in contact with a wholesaler in belgium and after a long and annoying time mailing each other they finally was able to send me a pack of 200 cans (minimum order for the 200ml-balls), alongside with 100 pieces of a bigger can for other stuff. All costs combined this first stock cost me around 220€ but its good quality. Every can is single packed in plastic so nothing comes in it before filling them. The page is petcan-europe.com if you want to get them for yourself.

Got a link?

I do, but still figuring out some details like sourness. For example 6 ml or 8 ml can make a big difference as it is super concentrated. The same with the flavors I only can measure in drops, wich isn‘t pretty scalable

That‘s interesting! I heard that you use different acids in super juice as well. Is there a ratio you was happy with when playing around with the different acids? I use store bought orgeat. Did it only one time myself but it got moldy in the bottle. But yeah, for these cans I only use store bought incredients so far, because I don‘t want to risk the shelf stability.

Got them from petcan-europe.com as I live in germany. Don‘t know a US source right now, sorry.

They make rum in quite a few Spanish speaking countries.

What do you mean?

I got them from petcan-europe.com as I live in germany but I think they ship worldwide. Minimum order for the 200ml-balls is 200 pieces as they come in a pack of 200. Sounds much, but the day they came I already filled 25 of them out of curiosity.

I would also love to know where they got the bottles, I'd love to try this

When I‘m a millionaire there are NoMore_BadDays, makes sense! Dude, I really thought of turning it into a product for a while now. But alcoholic beverages is a pretty hard market and I would need to sacrifice quality by a big notch to get production costs low enough to make profit, so - at least for now - it‘s a hobby.

I use [this](https://www.zonesun.com/products/zonesun-zs-fjg100-manual-can-seamer-bottle-sealing-machineZonesunZS%E2%80%91FJG100ManualCanSeamerforPET&AluminumCansinSmall-BatchProduction) seamer from china and the cans I bought at petcan-europe.com, 200pack is minimum order

For right now only citric acid witch I disolve myself in water. I did 10% for the first batch, but I think I‘m going with 20% on the next one so I need less liquid in the final drink.

perhaps [pseudo citrus](https://www.corpserevived.com/post/maximizing-citrus-part-4-mastering-pseudo-citrus)?

Powdered is readily available and easy to measure when using other acids like malic and ascorbic.

My go-to ratio for making fake lime with powders is 94g water, 4g citric acid powder, 2g malic acid powder

Had this same question ty

That‘s cool, do you have a picture? How do you pack them?

Flights? Like pre-security shots?

They are cocktails you can take with you backpacking, tailgating, or to someone's house. This is a much better alternative than bringing four bottles and mixing on the spot. I like to reuse small tonic water bottles, but saving a bunch of small bottles isn't for everyone.

What's your problem with them?

Before that they sue me, haha

How much did the cans and seamer setup cost?
