FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Craftwell Cocktails Introduces The Transfusion: A Fresh Twist on a Tee-Time Classic

Fresh, Bold, and Perfect for a day on the links—Craftwell’s First Seasonal Craft Cocktail Is Here!

Corvallis, Ore, February 6, 2025 – Craftwell Cocktails® is teeing up its first-ever seasonal release: the Transfusion. A staple at the 19th hole for decades, this golf course classic is now available in a convenient ready-to-drink canned format.

The Transfusion has been a golf course staple since the 1950s, with some attributing its rise in popularity to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who famously crafted his perfect post-round blend. Others suggest its origins date back even further. Either way, the Transfusion became known as the quintessential golfer’s refreshment. True to its name, this cocktail delivers a revitalizing boost after hours spent under the sun.

“Golf isn’t just a sport—it’s a tradition, and so is the Transfusion," said Nels Jewell-Larsen, co-owner and vice president of business development for 2 Towns Ciderhouse "We wanted to capture the essence of this classic drink and make it accessible anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re celebrating a birdie or shaking off a tough round, the Transfusion is here to keep you on par."

Rooted in tradition yet crafted for today, Craftwell’s Transfusion features a crisp, refreshing blend of Pacific Northwest Concord grapes, Mexican key lime juice, and a bright kick of ginger. Made with real fruit for authentic flavor, this light, invigorating cocktail is perfect for any golf game. Easy to enjoy—the Transfusion is best served over ice or chilled straight from the can.

Key Features of The Transfusion Cocktail:

  • Ingredients: Washington Concord grapes, Mexican Key lime juice, fresh ginger
  • Flavor Profile: Light, quenching, aromatic, with a punchy ginger finish
  • ABV: 8.5%
  • Pairing: Pairs beautifully with sunny days, green fairways, and good company
  • Distribution: Transfusion will be available in 4-pack 12 oz cans and 1/6 bbl keg  through distributors in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, and California, and online
  • Availability: The Transfusion will be available for a limited time at select retailers and online

Crack a can, grab your clubs, and let the adventure begin.

About Craftwell Cocktails®

Embodying the spirit of the Pacific Northwest, Craftwell ready-to-drink cocktails are crafted with the same care and expertise that made the 2 Towns Ciderhouse team leaders in using real fruit to create award-winning ciders. Craftwell encourages consumers to live life with flavor and to create their own cocktail moments with easily portable deliciousness. Real, fresh fruit produces real, fresh flavors that are available in canned cocktails, top shelf bottles, on draft, and as non-alcoholic cocktails.  For more information, please visit craftwellcocktails.com.
