Golden Rule Spirits announced the newest addition to its roster of bar-strength, ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails in a can: the Tequila Paloma.

Spirited Hive, a portfolio of ready-to-drink (RTD) canned cocktails, announced the addition of a honey infused gin-based cocktail made with lemon and juniper berry.
