Regional Sales Manager at Claffeys Cocktails - Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, United States
Claffey's Cocktails first introduced us to Claffey's Frozen Cocktails, the world's first Adult Freezer Pop in 2014. The company is the brainchild of Founder Chris Claffey, who wanted to make a popsicle Spiked With Fun™ that could keep up with those looking to live it up and stay cool at the same time. He flavored premium wine with the nostalgic flavors of yesteryear: cherry, grape, and pink lemonade, but made sure they were low calorie, non-GMO, gluten free, kosher certified, and produced with no artificial sweeteners. Chris was committed to making these childhood flavors available with a unique twist -- a spike of 6% alcohol in frozen, ready-to-eat freezer pop packages. Claffey's Cocktails had a soft launch in 2014 and retailed in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. It quickly sold over 150,000 units. In 2018, the Claffey's Brand found success with Chris appearing on Entrepreneur.com's Elevator Pitch leading to being featured in major big box Retailers like Costco, Walmart and Sam's Club around the Country. Today, Claffey's Cocktails are offered across the United States and were the fastest selling wine-based product in Walmart in the summer of 2020. In spring of 2021Claffey's Cocktails launched a line of wine-based seltzers promising a beverage" made with "wine, fun and fizz." A seltzer without the malt aftertaste of traditional seltzers, and minus the downfalls of wine in a can, because it is free of gluten, non-GMO, and Kosher certified. Claffey's Seltzer Cocktails are also guilt free with only 2 carbs, 2 grams of sugar and only 100 calories per can. With plans to expand into the South American and European markets, Claffey's will stay committed to quality and their family roots, while offering new product lines will giving back to the communities in which they serve.
