Why Bartenders Are Taking the Tops Off This Season
Step behind any trendy bar or cocktail popup this fall, and you’ll probably notice a new tool on the scene: Draft Top. What started as a clever at-home hack has quickly become a bartender’s secret weapon for creativity, speed, and presentation.
Why the shift? Because Draft Top removes the top of any standard can, allowing mixologists to treat it like a mini shaker or cocktail glass. No extra glassware. No spills. Just fast, fresh, fully garnished drinks served straight from the can.
Draft Top’s impact behind the bar includes:
-
Speed: One tool, one twist, one serve.
-
Efficiency: Fewer dishes and less cleanup.
-
Creativity: Add herbs, spices, syrups, and spirits right into the can.
-
Presentation: Open-top cans with garnishes get shared on social fast.
Consumers love it too. It’s novel, visual, and delivers a richer flavor thanks to the open-mouth sip. Plus, it reduces waste—no more half-empty glasses or unnecessary pours.
As more venues embrace cans for speed and sustainability, Draft Top is unlocking a whole new level of drink service. So whether you’re a pro bartender or a home host, it’s time to take the top off.
