Pals RTDs
Pals: The Natural, Low-Sugar RTD’s
Not every occasion is a wine occasion. That's where Palscomes in — Master of Ceremonies' canned cocktail range, built a few years after the wine line as the answer to a simple question: why do most RTDs taste like they were made in a lab? Pals is clean, quality spirits mixed with real fruit extract, canned, and ready to go. No syrup, no artificial anything — just a good drink with a can that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Meet The Cans
The four flavours
Vodka
Hawke's Bay Lime & Soda
Clean vodka, real lime, simple and sharp.
Vodka
Watermelon Mint & Soda
A fresher, fruitier take on the same clean base.
Gin
Hawke's Bay Lemon Cucumber & Soda
Botanical gin with a crisp, garden-fresh finish.
American Whiskey
Hawke's Bay Apple & Soda
Whiskey's answer to a session drink, apple-forward and easy.
Every can uses real lemon and lime extracts sourced from Hawke's Bay, mixed with clean, high-quality spirits — no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives anywhere in the range.

The Art
Pals on Pals
Every can carries original illustrated artwork from Sam Baker of Vacation Studios, a Mount Maunganui illustrator known for playful, character-driven work. It's a deliberate choice — Pals was always meant to feel like the fun sibling to MC's wine range, not a stripped-back "healthy RTD" pitch. The cans are meant to sit on the table and be part of the occasion, not hide in the chilly bin.

Where Pals fits
