Flying Dog Brewery is jumping into the canned cocktail game through a new partnership with two well-known East Coast breweries. The Frederick-based company has joined Harpoon Brewery and Saranac Brewing Co., to form Right Coast Spirits, with initial plans to release four flavors of vodka-based ready-to-drink cocktails, Orange, Wild Berry, Watermelon and Pineapple. The canned Vodka Whips are made with vodka and real fruit. “The idea for Vodka Whips was inspired by the Orange Crush cocktail, a wildly popular drink in the Mid-Atlantic,” said Ben Savage, chief marketing officer at Flying Dog Brewery.
