Hi- We have a number of distilleries in our family. They all make products for their tasting rooms and distribution. However, we have the capacity and time to produce bulk spirits. Gin, Whiskeys, Flavored Whiskeys, Absinthe, Brandies, etc. We even have tequila in bulk!!!! Agave, Sotol, etc.. We also do RTDS in cans and bottles. Would love to connect and see how we can work together.

Hello, I'm currently searching for a co-packer / contract bottler for an RTD. The catch - the packaging is unique and I'll have to have specialized equipment manufactured. So, ideally, the co-packer / contract facility will have the flexibility to fit this equipment into the line and perhaps have some storage space to keep it on site between runs. No restrictions geographically, at this moment. Let me know if anyone has ideas!

Hey there! We are about to produce canned cocktails and I have so many questions being new to this. Two questions that are eating me up are: 1) What (low cost) device should I use for measuring Dissolved Oxygen? I'm not ready to sink $20k on a CBox from Anton Par. 2) How do I test the ABV of the finished product after mixing all liquids & dry ingredients (vodka, flavors, citric acid, water, etc)? I'm not starting from fermentation so I don't have an OG reading to go off of. Thank you in advance!!!! I welcome all discussions pertaining to canned cocktails.

Good morning, I sold my distillery and our own RTD canned cocktail, Disco Lemonade, about 3 years ago. Since then, I've been working with beverage clients to help them with innovative brand and revenue extensions of their own. I've launched canned/bottled cocktails, "boozy" popsicles, single shot "K-cups", and N/A bulk cocktail mixers (in highly regulated areas). I've also launched non-alc projects like hop-infused teas, sparkling flavored waters, and "better for you" functional sodas. We've also found success in going direct to consumer through online distributors such as Barcart, Thirstie, and Go Puff; bypassing the traditional distribution model. If you'd like to talk to me and set up a time to brainstorm about some revenue extensions for your own brand, I'm always excited to hop on the line. Text me at 315-506-5084 to set up a time.

I want to develop some ready to drink vodka mixes similar to Smirnoff ice, Bacardi breezer etc. I have developed some great recipes, but as these recipes contain real fruit juice I have come across a bit of a problem. The problem is preservation. The first recipe I developed is a vodka lemonade similar to Smirnoff ice. The components of this drink all mix to create an environment that I think would be hard for bacteria to grow. Lemon juice (citric acid), sugar and vodka. However if stored for a long period I am afraid of spoilage. Most soft drinks and juices add a preservative called sodium benzoate. I am not sure if this preservative is suitable in this case, if it is sufficient or how much to add. Does anyone have any experience with preservatives of this kind. thanks
