A classic malt liquor still widely known for it's unique barrell or grenade-shaped, wide mouthed bottle. Original packaging include Irish iconography with shamrocks, castle towers, and a arm holding a mace. Current packaging is more neutral, if still green, with an illustrated hornet icon on the cap. The wide mouthed bottles are also known for their pictographic riddles under the cap. Enjoying a surge in popularity, Mickey's marketing is targeting a young, college-aged drinker, slightly left of mainstream and uses the current tagline, "Get Stung" always next to the hornet icon. Mickey's is also very popular in larger, 16oz, 24oz, and 40oz single serve sizes.

Recently, Miller introduced "Mickey's Ice", which has 5.9% alcohol by volume.

Mickey's is also famous for being used in a drinking game, popular with college students and as a fraternity fraternity party game, known as "Edward Forty-Hands"; a play on words. In the game, a Mickey's bottle is duct taped into each of the contestants' hands. The player cannot remove the bottles until the liquor has been completely consumed.
