New cocktails in a re-saleable pouch

Good Time Beverages will introduce a new line of pre-made "Cocktails To Go" in re-sealable pouches next week.

The venue will be the 68th annual Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) Convention & Exposition in Orlando, FL.

The first two products are called "Bob & Stacy's Premium Margarita" and "Big Barrel Brandy XO." The first is made with tequila, and is 15% alcohol by volume (30 proof). The other with uses an XO level brandy, as opposed to a VS or VSOP level, and is 40% abv (80 proof).

Good Time Beverages uses "flex" pouches which are constructed of foil that is mostly post-consumer recycled aluminum alloy, covered with a thin internal layer. The pouches need less space than cans or bottles, and each pouch has a free-flow, tamper-resistant cap that can be resealed for storage.

New packaging incorporates a high-oxygen barrier film that preserves flavor for one year, and up to three months after initial opening (when resealed with original cap). The drinks can be poured into other beverage receptacles or enjoyed straight from the pouch.
