About
Vervet specializes in canned, craft cocktails made with real ingredients. Launched in 2019, the company has emerged as the only true farm-to-can cocktail in the RTD world, offering four original recipes made with craft spirits and whole ingredients—never with lab-made flavors.
Vervet doesn't take shortcuts. The company's recipes are complex and developed with the drinker in mind; LA bartender & Co-Founder Hope Ewing didn’t take a known cocktail and can it, she made cocktails for the cans. She and her team use quality ingredients from California farms, build in small batches at a craft distillery using all their own spirits, bitters, and amaro, and utilize the best canning tech to ensure a bright, refreshing, effervescent experience. Vervet is available for nationwide shipping and local pickup/delivery via DRIZLY from Los Angeles' leading liquor retailers, including Bar Keeper, K&L Wine Merchants, Flask & Field, and Flask Fine Wine & Whisky.

Founding Story
Having drunk quite a few canned rosés at pool parties, LA bartender & Co-Founder Hope Ewing knew that canned cocktails were going to be big, and that the majority of them we’re going to be terrible: limp, pasteurized citrus and lazy recipes. She saw Vervet as my chance to put something of quality into the market and challenge her competitoris by taking the time to make everything from scratch—right down to the bitters and base spirits.
