CORVALLIS, Ore.— 2 Towns Ciderhouse announces distribution in the state of New Jersey through their partnership with Kohler and Peerless Distributors. Craftwell Cocktails will be hitting stores immediately across Northern New Jersey just in time to enjoy in the warm weather of Spring.

Launched in March of 2022, by 2 Towns Ciderhouse, Craftwell Cocktails are a line of premium cocktails that have quickly grown to become the #1 ready-to-drink canned cocktail in the state of Oregon. Prioritizing taste above all else, the ready-to-drink Craftwell Cocktails blend real fruit ingredients with innovative techniques to create cocktails that transcend expectations.

Retailers and consumers will now have access to a robust lineup of award-winning canned cocktails, including Grapefruit Paloma, Pineapple Margarita, and Peach Mojito. Packaged in ready-to-drink cans that are easily portable, Craftwell allows consumers to create a unique cocktail moment just about anywhere. Each cocktail delivers a bold 10.5 percent ABV and is available in 4-packs of 12oz cans at retail stores, bars, and restaurants.

Additionally, Kohler is delighted to bring the Craftwell Cocktails® premium Top Shelf line to the Garden State with Classic Cosmo, Chocolate Espresso Martini and the Signature Margarita. Each of these top shelf offerings come in 375ml bottles offering a bold 20.5% ABV.

Nels Jewell-Larsen, co-owner and vice president of 2 Towns Ciderhouse shares his enthusiasm. “We’re thrilled to bring the award-winning taste of the Pacific Northwest’s craft cocktail scene to the vibrant communities of New Jersey. With its rich culinary heritage and discerning palates, New Jersey is the perfect canvas for our award-winning craft cocktails.”

Frank Politano, Vice President Sales and Marketing, at Kohler explains,“ In a very crowded and redundant RTD space Craftwell provides our retailers and consumers a niche alternative. We have excellent liquid and a unique proposition that our salespeople and retailers have immediately embraced. The Craftwell team has been extremely supportive with valuable selling resources. A very welcome addition to our diverse portfolio.”

Liane Cleary, Business Development Manager at Peerless Beverage Company shares, “We are pleased to announce our partnership with Craftwell Cocktails, bringing their innovative, award-winning RTD cocktails to the Garden State. This partnership brings the flavors of the Pacific Northwest to our portfolio, reflecting our commitment to delivering a distinctive experience to our customers.”

Real, fresh fruit produces real, fresh flavors: Pineapple Margarita, Grapefruit Paloma, Blueberry Cosmo, and Strawberry Margarita.
