SEATTLE, Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Trade Eights Cocktails, a bottled craft cocktail company based in Seattle, WA, has partnered with Classic Wines of California, a division of Bronco Wine Company, to expand distribution in California. All three of Trade Eights' award-winning cocktails — Grapefruit Honey +Vodka, Hibiscus Lime +Gin, and Ginger Citrus +Whiskey — are now available throughout California.
"We're thrilled to partner with Damon Franzia and the team at Classic Wines," said Liane Bennett, co-founder and CEO, Trade Eights Cocktails. "With Classic Wines as our distributor, we look forward to bringing our craft cocktails to even more customers. As convenience and taste continue to drive purchase decisions, our all-natural, bottled cocktails are well-positioned to serve the needs of today's busy, ingredient conscious consumer."
Trade Eights Cocktails is already available in supermarkets, theaters, bars, country clubs and restaurants in Washington, Idaho and California. What makes Trade Eights Cocktails different is that we use real spirits, juices, botanicals and spices when crafting our cocktails. "It's the careful small-batch blending of real ingredients - like pink grapefruit juice, fresh pressed ginger, and hibiscus - that make our cocktails taste delicious," shared Ms. Bennett, "Plus, at 10% ABV, our refreshing cocktails are great for many occasions - from happy hour to weekend brunch."
The ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail category is on the rise, driven by increased consumer demand for convenience and better ingredients. According to Nielsen data, the RTD spirit-based cocktail category grew 40.7% over the last year. Spirit-based RTD cocktail sales reached $62 million USD in 2018. In joining forces with our friends at Classic Wines, Trade Eights Cocktails will help satisfy this fast-growing consumer need in California.
