Podcasts about RTD

Fresh from their rather somber state-of-the-industry presentation, SipSource analysts Danny Brager and Dale Stratton help identify whether there are any areas of growth and promise in the wine and spirits business. Topics include:  The performance of wine and spirits depletions in 2025 and the outlook for 2026. The surprising resilience of RTD growth rates. Prosecco's continuing strong performance. The wine industry trying more innovative marketing strategies. The importance of finding the right packaging formats. If consumers actually want low-alcohol products or if they want low-calorie and low-sugar products.    Have a question, qualm, or story to tell?

Send a textBefore you invest in liquid, labels, or a launch strategy, the most important question any founder can ask is: does this brand actually have a viable path to market?This Expert Talk features Felipe Gonzalez-Gordon, Partner and COO of Colangelo & Partners, delivering a data-driven framework for launching a spirit, wine, or RTD brand in today's saturated market, drawn from his presentation at Bar Convent Brooklyn 2025. Felipe walks through the financial and strategic groundwork that separates brands that scale from those that stall: how to size your addressable market realistically, how to model capital requirements, and how to allocate marketing spend without burning through runway prematurely. The episode also tackles brand positioning with precision, examining how founders can identify and defend a differentiated position on the shelf in a category where retailer fatigue and distributor consolidation make first impressions increasingly important. Featured Guests:Felipe Gonzalez-Gordon, Partner & COO, Colangelo & PartnersMentioned in this episode:Colangelo & PartnersWatch on YouTube: How to Launch a Beverage Alcohol Brand: A Data-Driven FrameworkWant to stay in the know about new episodes from the podcast?

AI tech giant Palantir moved its HQ from Denver to Miami this week, notifying the world via a single tweet. Was this abrupt relocation in response to ongoing protests outside its Denver office or Colorado's first-in-the-nation AI bill or something else entirely? Political commentator Adrian Felix joins producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies to dig into the controversial company's departure, plus the uncertain future of Leven Supply after being seized for unpaid taxes, and our wins and fails of the week. What do you think about Palantir leaving town? We want to hear from you! Text or leave us a voicemail with your name and neighborhood, and you might hear it on the show: 720-500-5418 Adrian talked about the proposal to legalize prostitution, which we discussed earlier this week on the pod. Bree discussed the hand painted sign stolen from Duke's Good Sandwiches and Burgers and the local sign painters who created it. Paul mentioned RTD moving forward with its renaming of Civic Center Station despite pushback, Chad McWhinney and Kimbal Musk in the Epstein Files, and the Poetic Kinetics art installation coming to downtown this summer.  For more on Scott Bottoms' allegation of a “pedophile ring” at the Capitol, Mandy Connell pressed him on it on KOA yesterday.  After we recorded this episode, we heard back from AG Phil Weiser's office about Palantir and CO's AI law. His spokesperson says that they have not had any conversations with Palantir and that Weiser's position on the AI law remains unchanged since the CU Denver Artificial Intelligence Symposium last fall, when he said his office was going to “hold off on any rule making process to implement the law until after the 2026 legislative session concludes and the General Assembly has an opportunity to make substantive changes to the AI law. This approach will allow us to create the initial rules from a place of more certainty and stability in the underlying law as well as enable us to best use and conserve our limited law enforcement resources.” For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

Although the Fed injected $18 billion in overnight liquidity, it may not be enough to prevent further cracks unless policy turns more dovish.

I noticed a growing number of internet people (mostly without any industry knowledge) trashing the beverage brand PRIME. And I get it…people love to kick someone (or something) when they're down, especially if it's a highly visible (maybe even a bit controversial) consumer brand partly owned by polarizing internet celebrities. Although if you stumbled into this expecting it would be just another copy/paste overly dramatic “rise and fall of PRIME” content piece…I'm sorry to disappoint you! But if you're into first principles thinking that produces fresh perspectives then hopefully, you'll stick around…mostly because when these internet people simultaneously proclaimed, “PRIME serves as a modern Case Study in the volatility of hype-first business models,” they collectively forgot to mention their whole thesis was foundationally established by whichever AI model prompts scraped my old strategic commentary within my content years earlier. Nevertheless, before getting started…while I'm not going to retrace the meteoric rise of PRIME, I have the utmost respect for what it achieved in those initial two years…and no one can ever take away that PRIME not only generated over a billion dollars in annual retail sales globally faster than any CPG brand in history but impacted (influenced) the overall industry in ways that will be felt for a very long time. However, over the last two years, PRIME has faced a classic “identity trap.” While PRIME obviously achieved viral success with Gen Z and Gen Alpha, essentially becoming a status symbol…older consumers (whether parents or not) often viewed the brand as a neon-colored faddish drink made for children. Attempting to fix this (and increase buy rates among Millennials and Gen X), PRIME shifted its strategy from "hype marketing” to functional legitimacy. Though, apart from throwing the "Gatorade Blueprint" sports marketing proverbial Hail Mary, what could PRIME really have done after retail sales momentum slowed…and aggressive over-expansion left inventory bloat? When the viral novelty faded…and once-scarce bottles were found everywhere (on-promotion), it signaled to younger consumers that the brand was no longer "exclusive.” Moreover, older consumers remained critical (warranted or not) that PRIME lacked the sodium and electrolytes necessary for true rehydration purposes. So, faced with two very different challenges impacting demand…PRIME decided to tackle “product” concerns over attempting to reignite cultural virality (which is extremely complex). Last month, PRIME officially entered the RTD protein category by launching a line of ultra-filtered protein milkshakes. PRIME Protein represents maybe the last remaining product strategy impactful enough to transition the beverage brand from a youth-centric "hype" product into a legitimate player within the functional beverages category. Lastly, and this cannot be overlooked when explaining why the “doom and gloom” scenario likely never came (or didn't come as severely) for PRIME yet. If you weren't aware, the more hidden owners of PRIME also co-founded Alani Nu. Obviously, everyone knows by now, Celsius Holdings acquired Alani Nu for $1.8 billion last April. But while that liquidity event maybe helps assess future risk/reward considerations, it's recognizing the culmination of that intertwined business activity that's most helpful because when a CPG brand rockets from zero to over $1 billion in two years…then falls to around $250 million two years later, it would normally result in chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Leo ni siku ya redio duniani ambayo msingi wake unatokana na kuanzishwa kwa redio ya Umoja wa Mataifa tarehe 13 Februari mwaka 1946 jijini New York, Marekani. Kwa mantiki hiyo ikiwa mwaka huu redio hiyo ya Umoja wa Mataifa inatimiza miaka 80 tumeangazia mchango wa vipingi vyake vilivyokuwa vinarushwa na redio zingine ikiwemo iliyokuwa Redio Tanzania Dar es Salaam (RTD)  nchini Tanzania  wakati huo. Assumpta Massoi amemulika suala hilo.

How did a drink that was concocted for the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games find relevance in the U.S. today?    Finnish Long Drink co-founder and CEO Evan Burns explained on the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast how the gin-based ready-to-drink (RTD) brand has connected with modern consumers through sampling, storytelling and authentic celebrity partnerships.     Burns shared that first-time Long Drink consumers often get "Long Drink Face" – a range of emotions that start with confusion for what the product is, to surprise after they try it, to ultimately delight. That starts a domino effect with the newfound fan turning their friends and spouses on to the product, Burns said. It also opens them up to the story of the cocktail made from gin, grapefruit juice and water more than half a decade ago for Finland's Olympic moment.   During a conversation with Brewbound senior reporter Zoe Licata, Burns emphasized how the Long Drink has stayed true to its citrus roots and isn't a product to be spun off into 30 flavors.    "It's about building brands with soul," he said.   Burns also discussed how a celebrity partnership with actor Miles Teller led to other celebrities organically signing on with the brand, how the Long Drink leverages social media and tips for any CPG brands seeking growth.

2025 was potentially the final year of the Underground Music Showcase — ticket sales were down, money was tight, and the future of the fest was uncertain. But the RiNo Business Improvement District stepped in, Youth On Record sold its share, and now the fest will live in RiNo. Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love discuss this new era and potential vibe shift for the 25 year-old event, plus dig into new legislation being proposed that could impact big booze manufacturers, and hear from listeners about their not-so-great RTD experiences.  Bree mentioned this amazing list coffee shops from City Cast Denver listeners Nate and Marie Evans!

Denverites want more affordable housing, but can they agree on how to make it happen? A couple members of YIMBY Denver have a proposal to “upzone” broad swaths of the city to allow more duplexes and triplexes, and their proposal could hit our ballots in November. So, what will Denver decide? RTD Board Director Chris Nicholson joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about the future of housing density, the big fight over possible RTD reform at the state legislature (Chris already picked his side), and all our wins and fails of the week. Paul talked about new signage at Rocky Flats, Davon Williams, and Denver Community Planning and Development's “Unlocking Housing Choices” project. Bree discussed the transportation policies of gubernatorial candidates Phil Weiser and Michael Bennet, as well as Leo Tanguma's new exhibit, the latest twist with Your Mom's House, and our episode earlier this week with two of the people proposing a radical RTD reform. If you're as curious as we are to hear more from Bennet and Weiser on transportation, YIMBY Denver is hosting a forum with both candidates on Feb. 21.   What do you think about housing density? Should Denver upzone single-family home lots? We want to hear from you!

Dear BellRing Brands board of directors…please consider this my formal submission for your open CEO position! BellRing Brands (NYSE: BRBR) is a portfolio that owns a collection of convenient nutrition brands like Premier Protein and Dymatize Nutrition, which was previously wholly-owned by Post Holdings. A fast-paced and busy lifestyle is pushing consumers to switch to quick and healthy meal options. This has resulted in above average categorical growth rates and increased household penetration of RTD protein shakes that promote active lifestyles. Additionally, powders are becoming more mainstream, and category proliferation has created an environment where more consumers are purchasing both every day and performance nutrition positioned protein products at grocery stores and mass retailers. Bellring Brands reported 2026 Q1 net sales of $537.3 million, which was up 0.8% YoY. Premier Protein (~85% of BellRing Brands total revenue) declined 1.2% YoY, resulting from mostly incremental promotions lowering net pricing. Dymatize Nutrition was up 15.8% YoY, stemming from strong volume growth (particularly across international markets). Moreover, I provide deep dives into Premier Protein RTD protein shakes business activity, along with examining similar metrics surrounding the protein powders from Premier Protein and Dymatize Nutrition. But my latest first principles content piece will end with a "formal" submission for the upcoming open CEO position, as Darcy Davenport has decided to retire, effective upon whichever is earlier…the appointment of a new CEO or the end its fiscal year 2026. And most will scoff at my boldness thinking I can run a multibillion-dollar public company…but double-check those receipts because I'd put my very public “visionary field notes” up against anyone regarding BellRing Brands and the larger “wellness CPG” market dynamics. Although more so than anything…I recognized early that what got Premier Protein here, won't get it there (with “there” being an independent public company with $4 billion in net sales heading into fiscal year 2030). So, I'll provide future-proofing details on what would arguably be my three most-critical forward-looking strategic initiatives as the new CEO of BellRing Brands. Firstly, as the popularity of protein pushes the macronutrient into top-of-mind status (arguably creating more purchasing impulsivity), I must re-position Premier Protein for this marketplace shift. Secondly, Premier Protein cannot (and should not) become an “everything to everyone” brand. Thirdly, I must hedge against the reality that our protein powder emulsion beverages, which are essentially my entire business, might not be the market's most desirable consumption experience going forward (and will be foundationally replaced by ultra-filtered milk).

Think You Know Silver? Test Your IQ and get resources here: https://linktube.com/rtdChinese billionaire trader Bian's historic $144 million silver short has stunned global markets. Leveraging insider-level timing, he built the largest net short position on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, totaling 30,000 contracts or roughly 450 tons of silver.In late January 2026, just before silver prices collapsed, Bian scaled up his short exposure; triggering a $300 million mark-to-market profit. Despite earlier forced liquidations, his net profit stands at 1 billion yuan (~$144M).This is the same trader who made $3 billion from gold longs between 2022 and 2024. Now, he's back and this time, he's dominating the silver market.

RTD is struggling right now. Denver's public transit provider is facing low ridership numbers (even relative to peer cities) and a massive projected budget deficit — and that's without even mentioning the paltry 83% bus on-time percentage. So what should be done? Governor Jared Polis and the legislature brought together a committee of experts last year to do months of research, debate, and come to a proposal that might just help get you home on time. Producer Paul Karolyi sits down with the chair of the committee, founding partner of CRL Associates Maria Garcia Berry, and the vice chair, Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition's transportation advocate Jaime Lewis, to get into the details.  For more background, Paul spoke with RTD's CEO and GM, Debra Johnson, back in December.  What do you think about this proposal to reform RTD?

On today's episode, we welcome Jen Hardell, Founder & CEO of Subourbon Life — the bourbon-based ready-to-drink cocktail brand redefining how—and when—America's native spirit is enjoyed.Jen is a visionary founder with deep operational experience in consumer and spirits businesses. With Subourbon Life, she identified a clear gap in the fast-growing RTD category: while vodka and tequila dominated shelves, bourbon lacked a lighter, more social, lifestyle-forward expression. She set out to change that by creating non-carbonated bourbon cocktails made with real aged bourbon, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and a strong emphasis on community through the brand's “Find Your People” philosophy.In this episode, Jen shares how she translated operational rigor into building a founder-led spirits brand, the challenges of bringing an RTD bourbon from concept to shelf, and how Subourbon Life balances quality, consistency, and scalability in a crowded market. From flavor development and branding to distribution and leadership, this conversation offers valuable insight for founders, operators, and anyone curious about innovation in CPG and spirits. Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

Denver's public transit agency RTD has had a rough couple of years. Almost a full year of track maintenance and slowdowns led to a nearly 20% decline in light rail ridership, but ridership across the network overall is down, too. With even more light rail maintenance expected in the next few years, RTD's budget is projected to hit multi-billion deficits in the early 2030s. So what's the plan to get back on track? And if the answer is more money, who will pay? RTD CEO and General Manager joins producer Paul Karolyi to discuss what she thinks the biggest problems are, her plan for the budget deficit, and what she does when her train is late.  Paul referenced Nate Minor's reporting for CPR about the senior leaders who left RTD in recent years and quoted the emailed statement Johnson shared with the Denver Post for this recent story. Johnson quoted some recent data on ridership numbers and talked about RTD's new tap-to-pay technology.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

Points of discussion:Q1: Should a brewery consider rebranding when expanding into new markets or reaching beyond its local audience?Q2: Is a full rebrand typically more effective, or can a strategic refresh of the existing identity be enough?Q3: If a company has worked with the same designer for years and is thinking about a brand refresh, how can they evaluate whether that OG designer is still the right fit? And if not, how should they navigate that tricky transition?Q4: How do you determine when a system like Left Field's templated approach makes sense, versus something more customized and illustration-driven like NoDa's?Q5: You mentioned that a rebrand usually isn't the first move when sales are declining, but your Wachusett example seems to break that rule. Why was a full rebrand the right call in their case?Q6: A lot of the work you showed uses a clear design system or template. How do you think about that approach compared to creating more individualized packaging within the same portfolio?Q7: When refreshing a brand, do you find it more effective to start from scratch, or to build on the existing identity and evolve what's already there?-Learn more at: www.craftbeerrebranded.com / http://www.beyondbeerbook.com-Have a topic or question you'd like us to field on the show?

This episode features Nicky Heckles, Vice President of Global Marketing for Smirnoff (Diageo). Dive deep into the Smirnoff marketing strategy that's fueling its success and discover how this iconic brand is dominating the Ready-to-Drink (RTD) market and authentically connecting with connecting with Gen Z consumers of legal drinking age (LDA). The episode reveals the playbook behind the viral success of the Smirnoff Ice campaign, a masterclass in self-aware humor and Gen Z LDA authenticity. * Beyond Impressions: Heckles shares the secret to measuring genuine impact and consumer resonance, moving beyond surface-level vanity metrics like impressions. The key is analyzing metrics related to brand advocacy, affinity, and acquisition, which demonstrate a deeper connection than just view counts. * The Unpretentious Voice: Discover the surprising Gen Z LDA trend Smirnoff is intentionally not chasing to maintain its unpretentious, real voice. Research shows Gen Z LDA craves authenticity and relatability, rejecting "overly polished perfection." Smirnoff leans into its own history of playful, self-deprecating humor (e.g., "We're called Ice but we're a liquid. We don't get it either.") to stand out. The Ready-to-Drink (RTD) market is the fastest-growing alcohol subcategory. Learn how Smirnoff differentiates itself from the flood of hard seltzers and spirit-based cocktails. * Unmet Consumer Need: Smirnoff's RTD portfolio addresses the critical consumer need for convenient, accessible, and reliably fun drinks for casual, social occasions. It positions itself as the unpretentious, easy choice, focusing on impulse purchases in the convenience channel. * Innovation Opportunity: The biggest opportunity for innovation in the next 12-18 months lies not just in flavor(which remains the most influential factor) but significantly in format and packaging (like the strategic shift from bottles to cans for impulse buys) and diversifying ABV options to cater to different occasions. Smirnoff's challenge is leveraging its "OG" vodka and RTD heritage while staying fresh for new drinkers. * Engaging Millennials: The brand strategically taps into nostalgia by referencing its long-standing playful tone and heritage (it's been around for over a century). The 25th birthday campaign for Smirnoff Ice is an example of celebrating its past while setting up a new era. * For Gen Z LDAconsumers, the brand focuses on cultural relevance, inclusive messaging (such as its "We Do We" platform), and humor/meme culture to ensure the brand remains dynamic, fresh, and aspirational. * The 'Glocal' Playbook Example: Heckles shares an example of a successful local activation, such as the Smirnoff Stage at Electric Picnic in Ireland. This activation was focused on radical inclusivity and accessibility, featuring wheelchair-accessible viewing decks, sign language interpreters, and Braille menus. The lesson for other distinct global markets is that while the creative message (the "G") can be consistent, the execution and cultural resonance(the "local") must focus on a universal value, like inclusion and community, to drive advocacy and market share gains. * Holiday Shift: The single biggest shift in consumer behavior Smirnoff is anticipating this holiday season is the continued prioritization of at-home consumption and gatherings focused on collective joy. The marketing strategy, from packaging to placement, is being adapted to capture impulse buys in the convenience channel and showcase the versatility of Smirnoff products for effortless cocktail creation at home. Gen Z LDA expects brands to champion a clear purpose. * Core Social/Cultural Purpose: Beyond responsible drinking, the core cultural purpose Smirnoff is championing is collective joy and inclusion (e.g., the "We Do We" platform). This purpose directly influences marketing by making Smirnoff the sponsor of inclusive events and influences product development to create options for diverse consumption occasions. This episode is essential listening for marketing executives, brand strategists, and anyone interested in how a legacy alcohol brand achieves cultural relevance, drives innovation, and secures its place in the future of the RTD market.

Has anyone else noticed that compared to a few of its peers…the Premier Protein growth story gets overlooked by pundits far too often? BellRing Brands (NYSE: BRBR) is a portfolio that owns a collection of convenient nutrition brands like Premier Protein and Dymatize Nutrition, which was previously wholly-owned by Post Holdings. A fast-paced and busy lifestyle is pushing consumers to switch to quick and healthy meal options. This has resulted in above average categorical growth rates and increased household penetration of RTD protein shakes that promote active lifestyles. Additionally, powders are becoming more mainstream, and category proliferation has created an environment where more consumers are purchasing both every day and performance nutrition positioned protein products at grocery stores and mass retailers. Bellring Brands reported 2025 Q4 net sales of $648.2 million, which was up 16.6% YoY. Premier Protein (~86% of BellRing Brands total revenue) grew 14.9% YoY, driven by strong volume growth. Dymatize Nutrition was up 32.9% YoY, stemming from strong volume growth and pulled forward international revenue ahead of planned pricing actions in fiscal year 2026. But since this was the company's fiscal fourth quarter, BellRing Brands annual results included generating net sales of $2.32 billion, an increase of 16.1% YoY…which comprised of a 14.7% volume increase and 2.2% increase in price/product mix. Moreover, I provide deep dives into Premier Protein RTD protein shakes business activity, along with examining similar metrics surrounding the protein powders from Premier Protein and Dymatize Nutrition. But my latest first principles content piece will end with briefly analyzing the product development variable defining this next phase of RTD protein beverages market. Premier Protein owns just over a quarter of the market…and the other quarter market share is held by the two RTD protein beverages under Fairlife (owned by The Coca-Cola Company). And from a product development standpoint, (in many ways) these are different products. Premier Protein is essentially an emulsified protein powder beverage…which has a comparatively thicker (higher viscosity) fluid and generally the consumption experience reminds you of drinking a healthy milkshake. Then, Fairlife (Core Power) is primarily ultra-filtered milk…which is thinner and generally the consumption experience reminds you of drinking a typical beverage. So, who (or I guess technically which product approach) wins? I don't think there's a definitive answer to this question just yet…despite Fairlife (Core Power) retail sales growth outpacing Premier Protein, and the gap closing quickly across a collection of other commercial metrics. While the competitive landscape is filled with declining legacy, newer insurgent, and crossover brands…it will continue as mainly a marketplace duopoly for some time, as it will take many years to replicate the manufacturing capacity, supply chain, product expertise, brand equity, and retailer relationships of these market leaders.

Even when everyone (including myself) thought it might be finished…could MusclePharm actually be showing signs of life again? But for those unfamiliar with the up-to-date FitLife Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: FTLF) portfolio configuration…due to the acquisition of Irwin Naturals, which officially closed on August 8, 2025, it now sells more than 500 SKUs across 16 supplement brands, each with a slightly different product portfolio and sales channel strategy. But throughout this content, you'll hear me categorize the FitLife Brands portfolio into three segments: Legacy FitLife Brands, MusclePharm, and Irwin Naturals. In the third quarter of 2025, the consolidated FitLife Brands portfolio generated revenue of $23.5 million...which was up 47% YoY. But while the consolidated FitLife Brands portfolio comparative growth rates appear extremely strong, it's important to remember that those reported results were greatly impacted by the Irwin Naturals deal. But in my latest first principles content piece, I'll share a detailed collection of segment-level updates that I believe are important when trying to understand the FitLife Brands story. These include revenue diversification strategies within the legacy FitLife Brands that has dramatically lowered "key customer risk" with the specialty retailer GNC and how even the “oldest” supplement brands can still generate revenue growth along with being the strongest contributor to companywide net profitability. But while there's strategic initiatives going on that involve the legacy FitLife Brands and Mimi's Rock segments, the most intriguing activity within FitLife Brands is also currently its smallest segment (i.e. MusclePharm). In the third quarter of 2025, MusclePharm segment revenue was just under $3.8 million...which increased 55% YoY. But you're probably hearing that…thinking to yourself “incredible results,” right? And trust me…I want nothing more than to give Dayton Judd (and the FitLife Brands leadership team) a huge virtual “pat on the back,” but there's A LOT of devilish things happening in the details! You probably think I'm being overly dramatic, especially when (in the third quarter of 2025) MusclePharm wholesale revenue more than doubled YoY…and I've stated previously “the biggest opportunities will come from B2B activity,” right? However, FitLife Brands wrongfully assuming MusclePharm still had enough distinctiveness in the marketplace to justify its current strategic gameplan (that quickly expanded product formats within the protein category) was a huge miscalculation…and undoubtedly exposed its “above- and below-the-line” weaknesses even more prominently. Though, maybe the newest FitLife Brands acquisition can indirectly help alleviate these MusclePharm challenges? FitLife Brands got a boost in human capital from Irwin Naturals possessing strength in routes-to-market that are beneficial to selling MusclePharm protein bars and RTD protein beverages. And while all of this seems ideal…don't get trapped into a state of exuberance thinking 1+1=3.

It's the beginning of Veterans Week and I've got news for vets, RTD is trying to do better with large events, and is the shutdown finally over?  

The odds are stacked against them. They have less money, less influence with distributors, and fewer R&D resources to alchemize the perfect drink, yet smaller RTD brands are going toe-to-toe and often winning the race to capture the fastest-growing space in the beverage alcohol business. In this epsidoe, Evan Burns, CEO at The Finnish Long Drink, and Clement Pappas, cofounder and CEO of Stateside Brands – the company that owns Surfside – explain how, against all odds, they built successful brands in the face of powerful competition. They share some of the hidden advantages that independent brands have over the powerful yet lumbering incumbents. Want to sign up for our written research?

In a category flooded with fast-followers and flashy branding, Straightaway Cocktails is taking a radically different path: embracing the hard way. In this episode, founder and CEO Cy Cain reveals how the Portland-based brand is carving out a distinct space in the booming ready-to-drink category by prioritizing bar-quality cocktails crafted from in-house ingredients and held to uncompromising standards. Cy outlines a strategy rooted in deliberate, thoughtful growth rather than chasing viral trends. He dives into the brand's innovative approach to creative R&D, leveraging limited releases and direct-to-consumer exclusives to experiment boldly and gather insights that shape future core offerings.  He also highlights how investments in in-house production, B Corp certification and sustainability efforts, alongside strategic partnerships with Costco, Alaska Airlines and Shake Shack, demonstrate that a patient, craft-centric mindset and a strong brand identity can make a powerful impact in even the most crowded markets. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Cy Cain, Founder & CEO, Straightaway Cocktails – Just hours before Taste Radio's San Francisco meetup, Cy joins Ray Latif to share highlights from Straightaway's latest cocktail lineup, including the French 77, Pickle Tini, and Golden Negroni. He underscores the brand's North Star: unwavering product quality, rooted in a deep love of cocktail culture. Cy reflects on the evolution of the RTD category and credits Straightaway's success to its focus on excellence and deliberate, sustainable growth. Strategic partnerships with Alaska Airlines and Breeze Airways have boosted exposure, while support from regional retailers and Costco has added traction and credibility. Comparing innovation to Formula 1, Cy describes it as a proving ground for bold ideas. Straightaway's mission, he says, isn't shaped by exits or investors, but by craft, storytelling, and elevating cocktail experiences. From farm-to-glass sourcing to using local ingredients – like fir needles from near Cy's childhood home – the brand stays true to its values of authenticity, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Inspired by lifestyle brands like Patagonia and Shinola, Cy emphasizes values-driven partnerships, such as a test collaboration with Shake Shack. He also shares excitement over the brand's growing recognition in top spirits competitions, including a potential Triple Crown win. Brands in this episode: Straightaway Cocktails, Stumptown Coffee, Smith Tea, Jacobsen Salt Co.
