5 Mistakes You’re Making with Canned Drinks (And How to Fix Them)

Canned drinks are easy, portable, and popular—but most people aren’t drinking them to their full potential. With a few simple changes (and the right tool), your beer, cocktail, or soda can go from basic to best-ever.

Here are five mistakes you might be making—and how to fix them:

❌ 1. Drinking Straight From the Hole

The small opening blocks aroma and flavor, which are critical for your taste buds.
Fix: Use the Draft Top Lift to remove the entire top and unleash the full scent and taste.

❌ 2. Overpouring into a Glass

Transferring your drink to a glass is a hassle—and you lose fizz and flavor.
Fix: Keep the drink in the can. With the top removed, it functions like a glass—with all the carbonation intact.

❌ 3. No Garnish, No Flair

Cans usually can’t hold citrus wedges, herbs, or decorative toppings.
Fix: Lift the top and drop in a lime slice, mint sprig, or even frozen fruit for added flavor and aesthetic appeal.

❌ 4. Mixing in a Cup

Why mix in a plastic cup when your can could do the job?
Fix: After popping the top, pour your liquor, juice, or bitters directly into the can. Fewer dishes, more fun.

❌ 5. Tossing the Can Clip

Forgot your Can Clip? Your upgraded can deserves a handle.
Fix: Add a Draft Top Can Clip for portability and comfort while drinking. Plus, it adds a clean, elevated touch.

Don’t let bad habits ruin good drinks.
The solution is simple: get Draft Top, and make every can better.
