Meet Craftails

At Craftails, we’re here to deliver a better way to enjoy your drink, your way. Craftails is the first line of single-serve craft cocktail mixers made for consumers who want craft quality with convenience. Made with real juice and no added sugar, world-class mixologists and award-winning beverage developers created our eight signature flavors. The single-serve non-alcoholic format means you get the convenience of a perfect pour in one can. It also gives you the ability to control the alcohol content of your drink–it’s always your way with Craftails. It’s not Cocktail hour, it’s Craftail hour.

A Better Way to Enjoy Your Drink, Your Way

Sometimes a great idea doesn’t start with a blueprint; it begins with a drink. That happened when award-winning entrepreneur Andrew Rose asked master mixologist Ken Gray to help him craft drinks to showcase his premium tequila brand, Luna Malvada. When Andrew tasted Ken’s mixers made with real juice and no added sugar, he realized they had something very special on their hands. Andrew was also aware that the current ready-to-drink (RTD) canned cocktails left much to be desired. That’s why Craftails went its own way, with ready-to-pour non-alcoholic mixers. “RTDs are everywhere, but you have to drink the liquor they chose at the strength they chose,” Andrew said. “I like a stronger drink, someone else weaker; I don’t like a certain tequila, but have to drink it in their drink. With Craftails, we want to offer your drink, your way. Choose your liquor and choose how much—or how little. We just make it better.”

What Sets Craftails Apart

Craftails aren’t your average cocktails. Our mixers are made with the best ingredients–real fruit juice and natural botanicals. Unlike other mixers, our canned craft cocktail mixers have no added sugar, preservatives, or artificial flavors. Each five-ounce can contains an average of 57% real juice with no added sugar, only real fruit juices and natural botanicals. Some cocktail mixers can contain an average of only 9% real juice and as much as 19 grams of sugar, so Craftails designed a better way to drink. Craftails presents the flavor you love without the added sugar and calories. Craftails’ natural fruit flavors will delight your palette; with no added sugar, it’s a guilt-free treat!

Craftails' perfect 5-ounce, single-serving size can make our drinks versatile and convenient. Once you’ve poured the alcohol-free mixer, you decide how much alcohol you want to add to create your ideal drink. Craftails are sophisticated mixers with full-bodied flavor straight from the can, which means you can make tasty non-alcoholic mocktails in one pour.

  • Mocktail: Simply pop open a can, pour the mixer over ice, and enjoy!
  • Lightail®: Pour 1 oz of your favorite spirit over ice. Pop open a can and pour the mixer into the glass to enjoy a refreshing, low-calorie, no-added-sugar Lightail®.
  • Cocktail: Pour 1.5-2 oz of your favorite spirit over ice. Pop open a can and pour the mixer into the glass to enjoy an invigorating cocktail your way.

This makes Craftails the ideal fit for any occasion, whether home parties, casual nights in, or upscale gatherings.

Due to the bar-quality ingredients, our mixers are also perfect for high-end events, allowing you to satisfy patrons with delicious, personalized cocktails, made from one perfectly portioned can at a time. Craftails’ eight base flavors will allow you to cater to any preference. Our customers love the flexibility to make a low-calorie Lightail® instead of a traditional cocktail, with a five-ounce Craftail of any flavor and one-ounce of spirit of their choice. 

The alcohol-free base will also allow you to cater to the rising demand for premium mocktails, especially popular with Gen Z and Millennials, for whom stevia cocktail mixers are a big hit (BevSource, 2023). Our mixers offer full-flavored taste profiles with no added sugar, which makes them popular with any crowd.

The Science & Art of Mixology

Craftails’ Master of Creation Ken Gray came to his deep understanding of mixology from a background of holistic neurochemistry. This gives Ken a science-based approach to help design the recipes that makes Craftails so unique.
