Mixed-Up Cocktail Co Wraps 2024 With New Flavors, Expanded Regions, And Increased Canning Capabilities
Annual revenue is up 34% year over year
SILVER CITY, N.M., Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mixed-Up Cocktail Co (Mixed-Up), creator and processor of deliciously bold Ready-to-Drink (RTD) canned craft cocktails, continues their expansion into this ever-growing niche of the spirits industry. According to IWSR's published RTDs Strategic Study 2024, RTD demand rose an average of 2%, with the highest growth coming from Mexico at 8% and Germany at 4%, and the most potential coming from Japan in the upcoming year.
To meet these demands, Mixed-Up launched in Japan in late spring to great success, with plans to continue sales into 2025. Additionally, Mixed-Up debuted its hit new flavor called the Vampiro — a lesser known but popular-in-Mexico sangrita made with tequila, agave spirits, citrus, raspberry, salt, chili, and tomato juice. The company ended the year with a classic Cranberry Mojito, whose festive visual branding and flavors made it a holiday favorite with distributors and customers alike.
"We continue to see steady and sustained growth in the RTD market that reflects our increased sales," says Teresa Dahl-Bredine, co-founder of Mixed-Up Cocktail Co alongside husband David Crosley. "Our craft cocktails have been a popular choice among consumers who want a bold, delicious drink without the guilt of chemicals, preservatives, artificial coloring, or fake sweeteners. We're one of the rare RTDs on the market that can actually claim 100% all-natural on the label. People are smart and want the real thing. They can taste the difference when you put in cheap ingredients and additives. The added convenience of having two servings in a single aluminum can also makes it easy to store, share, and sip."
Mixed-Up currently offers 11 total flavors for the upcoming 2025 year:
- Classic Mule
- Grapefruit & Gin Mule
- Classic Margarita
- Strawberry Mango Margarita
- Raspberry Aggie Rita
- Lemon Raspberry Mojito
- Sangrita con Tequila Vampiro
- Spring/Summer (Seasonal): Blue Hawaiian & Pineapple Daiquiri
- Fall (Seasonal): Apple Bourbon Mule
- Winter (Seasonal): Cranberry Mojito
To support growth for 2025, Mixed-Up is expanding its resources, team members, and outreach efforts:
- 12 brand ambassadors
- 3 sales managers
- A new 45,000 sq ft facility capable of producing over 20,000 cases per week
- Gained over 400 points of distribution with over 30,000 cases sold in 2024

- Expanded to Japan, Puerto Rico, and Northern California
