OC Based Kicktail Energy Mixers
12.21.17
A new, first-of-its-kind natural energy cocktail mixer line has hit the shelves and bars of Orange County, bringing a brand-new product concept to market. OC based Kicktail Energy Mixers are enriched with caffeine, taurine and B-group vitamins, giving classic cocktails a boost of energy without compromising a customer’s drink-of-choice. Cans of Kicktail can also be consumed own as a zero to low sugar energy drink.
Newport Beach native Darin Rasmussen was on a mission to research and develop an energy product that would enhance his cocktails, rather than overpower his drinks with sweeteners and medicinal flavors. He became tired of what seemed like the only energy product on the market that was mixed with alcohol, and its unappealing, one-note flavor. In search of something that could be infused into the craft cocktail phenomenon, he spent one year in a test kitchen, researching and developing flavor profiles, natural energy ingredients, and finally came up with Kicktail Energy Mixers offer six all-natural flavors: Ginger Beer, Club Soda, Tonic Water, Cranberry, Lemon Lime and Cola.
Kicktail’s Mixers and the brand’s mascot – Klubby Soda – can be found mixed at select Orange County drinking establishments including, the Stag Bar, District Lounge, Malarky’s Irish Pub and Cruisers.
Cases can be purchased at kicktailmixers.com and are available on Amazon Prime.
