Backyard Beers & Can Hacks: 3 DIY Party Tricks Using Draft Top

Summer is winding down—but backyard beers? They’re still going strong. Whether you're hosting one last bash or just hanging with friends on the patio, the Draft Top Lift Universal is your secret weapon for turning everyday cans into showstoppers.

Here are 3 easy, impressive party hacks using your Draft Top:

🍉 1. The Fresh Fruit Floater

Hack: Add fruit garnishes directly into the can.

After using your Draft Top Lift to remove the lid, drop in slices of lemon, lime, berries, or even frozen mango cubes. This instantly adds flavor, color, and a polished look—without needing a separate glass.

Try it with:

  • Hard seltzer + blueberries + lemon

  • Light lager + orange wedge

  • Rosé cider + frozen strawberries

Pro tip: Freeze your fruit first and it doubles as ice.

🧂 2. Rim That Can

Hack: Salt, sugar, or Tajín the rim of your open can.

After lifting the top, run a lime wedge around the edge and dip the can in your topping of choice. Boom—margarita or michelada in a can, elevated.

Try it with:

  • Spicy Bloody Beer (lager + hot sauce + lime) with a Tajín rim

  • Canned mojito with a sugar rim

  • Paloma seltzer with a salted edge

🧊 3. The Canned Beer Float

Hack: Add a small scoop of vanilla ice cream to a dark beer can.

Use the Draft Top Lift to open a porter or stout, then gently drop in a scoop of ice cream. The result? A rich, creamy beer float that’ll blow your guests away.

Try it with:

  • Milk stout + vanilla ice cream

  • Nitro cold brew in a can + chocolate ice cream

One tool. Endless party tricks.
With the Draft Top Lift Universal, you don’t need a bar cart or glassware to wow your crowd. All it takes is a can, a twist, and a little creativity.
