About Jon Taffer and Taffer’s Mixologist:
Having launched over 800 bars and restaurants, star of Paramount’s top-rated show Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer brings his four decades of experience and consumer insight to deliver a craft cocktail experience to anyone, anywhere. After assessing hundreds of variations of flavor profiles in collaboration with mixologist Van Flandern, they perfected a line of high-quality mixes that focuses on quality, value and taste.
In collaboration with world-renowned mixologist, Brian Van Flandern and cofounded along with Sean Kane (co-CEO), Jay McGraw (co-CEO) and Jennifer Pullen (CFO & COO) of Launched.LA, the fine-tuned mixes are inspired by the unique culture, recipes, and flair of modern mixology, turning consumers into ultimate hosts at home.
“We wanted a product that was not only delicious, but an authentic premium experience. That can only be accomplished by using high quality, natural ingredients,” said Taffer. “As important as what goes into our mixes, is what we did not add: no artificial preservatives. Not only does that create a better taste profile, but we also used healthy ingredients like monk fruit to deliver a product that has amazing flavor and is lower in calories than some other brands.”
This looks like one powerful brand and a great resource for anyone who is hosting a holiday dinner or party.
These very affordable mixes are essential for any “spur of the moment” cocktails because they are so easy to use!
