Award recognition and growing demand for premium single-serve RTDs continue to fuel Craftwell’s cocktail portfolio.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — February 12, 2026 — Craftwell Cocktails has expanded its 19.2-ounce portfolio with the launch of Guava Crush, a new ready-to-drink cocktail featuring pink guava, lemon, and hibiscus. The 10.5% ABV RTD delivers bold, tropical flavor in a large-format single-serve can designed for convenience and elevated on-the-go occasions.

“Guava Crush is a fun, refreshing cocktail, where we're focused on bringing a fruit-driven tropical profile to a format that fits how consumers are choosing to enjoy cocktails today,” said Nels Jewell-Larsen. “We are using an amazing pink guava in this cocktail that really shines in both aromatics and flavor, delivering a balanced, expressive drink that gives retailers a premium option designed to stand out on shelf.”

Platinum Award Winner – Sip Magazine’s Best of the Northwest Spirits

Before even reaching shelves, Guava Crush earned a Platinum Medal at Sip Magazine’s 14th Annual Best of the Northwest Spirits Competition, standing out in blind tastings as a complete, premium cocktail in a can.

“The ready-to-drink category continues to raise the bar, and this year’s Platinum medalists exemplify that progress,” said Kristin Bacon, Publisher and CEO of Sip Magazine. “Guava Crush from Craftwell Cocktails captured the judges’ attention with its bright, expressive flavor and refined execution, highlighting the innovation driving today’s RTD cocktails.”
