Despite the fact no one sensible is having parties these days, there’s no better way to impress friends, family and acquaintances than with a quality cocktail. But if we’re being honest, no one that wants to actually enjoy themselves wants to be behind the bar for the entirety of the party. That’s where Trader Joe’s new line of Ready to Drink Bottled Cocktails come in. Whether you want to serve up pre-made Old Fashioneds or Whiskey Sours, Trader Joe’s has full-size bottles (750ml) of both that are pre-mixed, ready-to-pour and require nothing more than an ice cube and a garnish. Both the pre-bottled Old Fashioned and Whiskey Sour are “made for Trader Joe’s by a small, craft distiller, using time-tested recipes” and, while we can’t confirm the distillery, previous TJ whiskey / bourbon white label bottles came from the Barton 1792 distillery. Each of the Trader Joe’s Ready to Drink Bottled Cocktails are available at locations that sell alcohol for around $17 depending on your market availability.
