Same Cann, Different Can.
5 Reasons I Ride with Roadie
Lately, I’ve been realizing alcohol just isn’t hitting the same. Actually, scratch that. It’s hitting too hard. One drink feels fine(ish) at the moment, but then I wake up dehydrated and muttering the same thing I always do: “I’m never drinking again.”
Still, there’s something about that first sip I can’t quit. It’s more about the ritual than the alcohol itself. It’s the “cheers” across the table, the easy laughter, the relaxed vibe that makes conversation flow. I didn’t want to lose that part, just everything that came the morning after.
Here’s why Cann’s new Roadie has become my official go-to 👇
- It’s Loaded with Awards
So, I did what any RTD connoisseur would do: a little digging. Turns out, Cann was named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025. The award went to their OG canned tonic, which checks out. When I sipped it, it felt like a gentle wave of joy followed by no regrets. Just vibes.
The new Roadie is that same award-winning formula, but in pocket-sized packets. I’ve started describing it to my friends as the secret to elevating anywhere and everywhere.
- The Simplest Flex
True story: I went to my cousin’s wedding last weekend and after the ceremony, I skipped the open-bar crowd and grabbed a sparkling water instead. Then I pulled a Roadie out of my suit jacket pocket, tore it open, stirred it in, and felt the heads turn.
It’s the kind of move that looks effortless but feels intentional. Like you’ve quietly cracked the code and everyone wants in on it.
- Tastes Better Than Any Martini
No, seriously.
- Lemon Lavender – Light, calm + quietly confident. a.k.a. sunshine with self-awareness.
- Grapefruit Rosemary – Bright, crisp + herbal. a.k.a. spa water that decided to have fun.
- Ginger Lemongrass – Spicy, energizing + smooth. a.k.a. your one-sip-pick-me-up.
- Blood Orange Cardamom – Sweet, tangy + mysterious. a.k.a. the one that makes you take a double sip.
My favorite changes depending on my mood, the setting, or the company. Which is kind of the point. There’s a flavor for every vibe. If you don’t know where to start, try The Roadie Sampler (thank me later).
- I Get to be Me
The best part about the Roadie isn’t even taste or even the convenience. It’s the feeling. That same kind of easy calm you get when the sun’s out, you’re floating on a river somewhere, and your phone’s on DND. Or that moment when you check into an Airbnb and realize there’s a sauna and a TV inside.
It helps me unwind and be present, no hangover included. I basically just laugh easier, feel more relaxed, and create more memories without having to “pace” myself.
- Still Have Love for the Ritual
The truth is, I’m not anti-drinking. I’m just over feeling like a fuzzy mess the next day. Life’s too short to keep losing mornings to recovery mode. Cann’s Roadie lets me keep the ritual, the laughter, and the good energy without the hangover.
Now I have the freedom to elevate my vibe anywhere. And when the night’s over, I don’t need greasy food or gallons of water to feel human again. I just wake up clear, hydrated, and ready to take on the next day.
If you’re curious about better-for-you-drinks that still make life feel fun, the Roadie is the perfect place to start. It’s a party in your pocket!
