Why Uncanny?
uncanny
/ʌnˈkæni/
adj.So good it's hard to believe.
That's the feeling we're after. The first sip where you check the label twice, because you didn't expect a drink this good to come out of a can.
Britain is full of small makers putting proper cocktails into cans. Most of them never make it to a supermarket shelf. We go and find them.
And because every box is a surprise, there's always something new to try.
How it works
Three steps. You only do the last one.
-
We hunt down the best indie cans
We taste our way through Britain's small drinks makers so you don't have to.
-
A box lands every month
6 to 8 cans with a tasting card. Monthly or every other month, your call.
-
Rate them, and the next box fits you better
Score every can. We use it to tailor what comes next.

Bored of the same four cans at the supermarket?

We won't send you the stuff you already know. Every box is new to you.
Picked by people, not an algorithm

For makers
Making something great in a can?
If you're an independent maker of canned cocktails, spritzes or seltzers, we'd love to taste what you're making and put it in front of people who'll love it.
