Diageo's push into canned cocktails comes with risks, says Deutsche Bank

Smirnoff and Johnnie Walker maker Diageo PLC (LSE:DGE) is increasing its focus on canned cocktails as it looks to revive growth, according to analysts at Deutsche Bank. The drinks maker is, according to an FT article, “betting big” on ready-to-drink, or RTD, cocktails, a segment that has continued to expand even as the wider spirits market slows.
