Scary Mommy 2025 Readers’ Choice Best Canned Cocktails
We can practically guarantee these will help take the edge off after a long day of parenting.
We get it: parenting is endless and extremely hard work. You'd be forgiven if you need a cocktail or two to wind down your day. But who has time to make said cocktail? Approximately no mothers. That's when you call in the big guns, aka the canned cocktail aficionados to do the work for you. Our faves include everything from bloody marys (sometimes they help on those early Saturday morning baseball games?) to espresso martinis (because we all like to be fancy sometimes). No matter what drink you prefer, we practically guarantee these will help take the edge off after parenting.
