How to Turn Any Can into a Cocktail Glass

Imagine this: you’re at a beach bonfire, camping trip, or house party—and someone asks, “Where are the cups?”
You smile, pull out your Draft Top Lift, and say, “We don’t need ‘em.”

Here’s how to turn any aluminum can into an instant cocktail glass—no bar tools required.

🛠 Step 1: Use the Draft Top Lift Universal

Our newest version is compatible with every standard aluminum can—from 8 oz energy drinks to 25 oz tall boys. Just place the Lift on the top of your can, squeeze lightly, and rotate around the rim. In seconds, you’ll have a fully open, smooth-edged container ready for mixing.

🍹 Step 2: Add Your Spirit of Choice

Grab your favorite nip (airplane-sized liquor bottle) and pour it directly into the can. No measuring glass? No problem—it’s a tailgate, not a tasting room.

Popular combos:

• Grapefruit seltzer + tequila = instant Paloma

• Ginger ale + whiskey = easy Highball

• Tropical seltzer + rum = on-the-go mojito vibes

🍋 Step 3: Enhance It

Here’s where the magic happens:

• Squeeze in some fresh citrus

• Drop in herbs like mint or basil

• Add purees or bitters to take it up a notch

Thanks to the open top, you can even stir with a straw or stick a garnish right inside the can.

📸 Step 4: Sip (and Share)

The final touch? Raise your can-turned-cocktail-glass, take a sip, and watch the heads turn. It’s functional, fun, and surprisingly Instagrammable.

No glass? No shaker? No problem.
With the Draft Top Lift Universal, every can becomes a blank canvas for cocktails on the fly.

Try it once, and you’ll never pack solo cups again.
