BURR RIDGE, Ill.– SPOOKY Craft Cocktails, a Midwest family business dedicated to the creation of superior craft cocktail mixes, has announced continued growth and expansion. Named the official partner to produce the Jack Link’s® line of Bloody Mary mixes, SPOOKY launched the offering in January 2020. The successful launch included securing distribution agreements in 19 states. Despite the closing of bars and restaurants during the height of COVID-19 earlier this year, Jack Link’s Bloody Mary hand-crafted recipes saw immediate uptake with consumers, with more market expansion planned in the second half of 2020.
“We’ve produced first-to-market recipes at an affordable price,” said Chris Heimerl, co-founder of SPOOKY Craft Cocktails. ”This strategy resonates with our distributors as well as consumers who want more unique options.”
Heimerl and Randy and Annamarie Rohner co-founded SPOOKY Craft Cocktails in 2013. The team began producing cocktail mixes using natural ingredients, naturally sweetened juices, no high-fructose corn syrup, no MSG and no artificial colors or flavorings. The fresh-tasting cocktail mixers have won numerous industry awards in recent years.
SPOOKY strategically created the premium Jack Link’s Bloody Mary mixes at an affordable price point – $6.99 per bottle. The selection of four unique recipes includes Dill Pickle, Signature Recipe, Sweet & Hot, and Mild. All flavors were designed to pair with Jack Link’s meat sticks creating an exciting Bloody Mary that can be easily made at home.
“In addition to the weight of the Jack Link’s brand, the leading meat snack brand in the U.S., the flavor choices, quality ingredients, and price point all contribute to the success we’ve had in retail with this new offering,” added Heimerl. “Jack Link’s is a flavor innovator and we brought this same attitude to the mixer category to give consumers a new experience with a classic cocktail.”
SPOOKY has successfully implemented powerful in-store promotional programs and event marketing with vodka brands including Gray Duck Vodka.
