What Are Branded Canned Cocktails?
Branded canned cocktails are freshly mixed cocktails, mocktails or iced coffees sealed on-site into aluminium cans. Each can is then fully customised with branded labels or full-wrap artwork, giving your guests a premium, retail-quality drink that doubles as an experiential takeaway.
Perfect for:
exhibitions
brand activations
in-store retail events
PR campaigns
conferences
weddings
corporate celebrations
This service blends speed, hygiene and visual impact — ideal for high-footfall environments.
Why They’re Perfect for Exhibitions, Conferences & Activations
✔ Fast, high-volume service
Up to 250–400 branded drinks per hour.
✔ Zero mess
No glasses, no spillage, no contamination concerns.
✔ Strong branding
Each can becomes a walking advertisement — perfect for marketing teams.
✔ Social media amplification
Guests naturally share branded cans online.
This new service complements popular event offerings like
mobile coffee bike hire,
barista hire for events
and
mobile coffee bar hire for exhibitions.
How the On-Site Can-Sealing Works
The process is fast, visual and engaging:
1. Fresh drink mixed onsite
Cocktails, mocktails or iced coffees are prepared by professional staff.
2. Can filled
Guests watch their drink go directly into the can.
3. Can sealed live
A compact machine seals the can airtight — clean, quick and impressive to watch.
4. Branding applied
Sticker labels or full-wrap artwork are applied instantly.
The theatre of the process attracts footfall, especially when paired with
branded coffee carts
or
Aperol Spritz bar activations.
