Big Star Margarita

Big Star Margarita

Taco mecca Big Star’s margarita is easily one of the best in the city, and last summer, the team behind it started making a canned version. Sip it straight from the can or pour over ice and garnish with lime and a salt rim, but just note: Each 12-ounce can contains two servings, so pace yourself. $20 for a four-pack. bigstarmarg.com for locations

Wayup Tropical Vision and Citrus Dream

Wayup Tropical Vision and Citrus Dream

A new line from Hopewell Brewing Co., Wayup focuses on nonbeer beverages. First up: two hard seltzers in trippy ’90s-inspired cans. They’re super fruity, with yuzu and tangerine in the Citrus Dream and pineapple, mango, and Key lime in the Tropical Vision. Wayup is planning to offer a Cabernet Sauvignon piquette next. $10 for a six-pack. Hopewell Brewing Co., 2760 N. Milwaukee Ave., Logan Square

Jeppson’s Malört Spritz

Jeppson’s Malört Spritz

People love to hate Jeppson’s Malört, but the bitter liqueur is loaded with grapefruit notes, making it a natural fit for a spritz with grapefruit soda, hibiscus, and lime. A collaboration between CH Distillery and Maria’s Packaged Goods & Community Bar, the seriously delicious cocktail has a burst of fruit with just a hint of bitterness at the end. Start stocking up for summer now. From $22 for a four-pack. CH Distillery, 564 W. Randolph St., West Loop; Maria’s Packaged Goods & Community Bar, 960 W. 31st St., Bridgeport
