Double Dutch, in conjunction with beverage company John Paul Jones Rum (JPJ), will introduce its first ready-to-drink (RTD) canned cocktail in August 2023. The RTD cocktail, made with JPJ's dark and dry Lowland Rum and Double Dutch's Cucumber and Watermelon mixer, is a light and refreshing rum-based combination in a 250ml container. It has a 4.5% ABV and is a fruity, low-calorie beverage ideal for picnics, barbecues, and drinking with friends.
