As National Bourbon Day approaches on June 14, Mission Craft Cocktails is excited to unveil an exclusive supply agreement with Lofted Custom Spirits, enhancing their array of ready-to-drink bourbon and whiskey-based cocktails. This collaboration follows their earlier supply deal with Productos Finos de Agave, emphasizing Mission Craft Cocktails' dedication to high-quality ingredients. The recent engagement with Lofted Custom Spirits showcases an innovative approach to ready-to-drink cocktails, ensuring accessibility to top-tier bourbon for cocktail enthusiasts. Their acclaimed Old Fashioned cocktail, which incorporates barrel-aged bourbon from Green River Distilling Co., is a testament to this commitment. At 40% alcohol by volume, this classic drink melds the rich flavors of orange and aromatic bitters, while the Manhattan, at 32.5% alcohol by volume, combines premium rye whiskey from Bardstown Bourbon Co. with semi-sweet vermouth and a medley of delightful spices and dried fruits. Founders Amit Singh and Marcin Malyszko expressed optimism about the partnership, stating, ''Our exclusive supply agreement leverages the full Lofted Custom Spirits portfolio to give Mission Craft Cocktails a world-class whiskey supply chain, unmatched consistency, and innovative capabilities.'' With Bardstown, Kentucky being known as the “Bourbon Capital of the World,” and Lofted Spirits sitting at the forefront of this legacy, the partnership aims to elevate ready-to-drink cocktails into a premium category while maintaining a strong commitment to quality. Mark Erwin, CEO of Lofted Spirits, also echoed this sentiment, commenting, ''Our aged bourbon and rye have been quite at home in Mission Cocktails' Old Fashioned and Manhattan. We’re excited to lay down custom barrels as we look toward the long future of this brand and partnership.'' Furthermore, Mission Craft Cocktails is not only focused on providing delightful cocktails but also on doing good in the community. Recently, they celebrated the achievement of funding over 1.2 million meals for families facing hunger through their One Bottle = One Meal program in collaboration with Feeding America®. The new agreement ensures that Mission Craft's bourbon and whiskey cocktails can be consistently produced, aligning with their growing retail presence across the country. You can find Mission Craft Cocktails at numerous leading retailers, including Total Wine & More, Binny's Beverage Depot in Chicago, and Whole Foods Market in Hawaii. The cocktails are also available at various outlets in California such as Costco, Ralphs, and Albertsons.
