Oklahoma City, OK In 2024, WELCH’S® announced the launch of WELCH’S™ Craft Cocktails, a new ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage line inspired by the brand’s signature fruit flavors and crafted for modern sipping occasions. WELCH’S™ Craft Cocktails’ initial lineup consists of four flavors made with vodka and grain-neutral spirits, blending bold fruit with thoughtfully crafted recipes to offer consumers an elevated beverage.
