MILWAUKEE, Wis. (May 7, 2024) — Central Standard Craft Distillery launches new premium Pour Ready cocktail, Rocket Pop, just in time for summer. The fruit-forward bottled cocktail, the latest addition to Central Standard’s successful line of Pour Ready cocktails, captures the essence of summertime, boasting flavors of blue raspberry and cherry, crafted with award-winning Door County Cherry Vodka.

“We’re kicking off the season with a cocktail that embodies Wisconsin summers,” said Pat McQuillan, co-founder of Central Standard Craft Distillery. “We set out to create a flavor that’s nostalgic to Midwesterners, bringing forward memories of beach days, festivals and other summer celebrations.”

Since the Pour Ready line launched in 2022, it has already grown to become a bestseller. Rocket Pop joins Central Standard’s line of premium Pour Ready cocktails, which includes Door County Cherry Vodka Lemonade, Door County Cherry Vodka Mule, Red Cabin Lemon Honey Bourbon Smash and Red Cabin Peach Bourbon Smash.

The Pour Ready Rocket Pop cocktail has an ABV of 15% and, like all five Central Standard Pour Ready cocktails, it will come in 750mL and 1.75L bottles.

“We’re in the business of bringing people together. This is a great example of how we’re making craft cocktails easy to enjoy so you don’t have to play both bartender and host all night,” said Jim Kanter, Chief Commercial Officer.

Rocket Pop will be widely distributed across major retail and independent liquor stores throughout Wisconsin, hitting shelves starting on May 10. It will also be available at festivals and outdoor venues like Lake Country DockHounds, the Wisconsin State Fair and Bastille Days.
