Launched in 2020, the brand is well-known for its ready-to-drink bottled Bushwacker cocktail (also known as “Beach in a Bottle Bushwacker”). Popular on the beaches of Florida, the brand is offering anyone who loves booze (or wants to invest in a boozy brand) the ability to become part owner. Just like the Green Bay Packers, Bushwacker is offering shares of the company to the public.

“The Bushwacker Cocktail has always been more than just a drink; it’s a feeling, a community,” Michael Smith, CEO of Bushwacker Spirits, said in a press release. “Heck, there’s even songs written about it. Now, we’re giving this amazing community the opportunity to own a piece of that feeling, to become owners of the company. The Bushwacker Cocktail has been around for almost 50 years throughout the Gulf Coast and Virgin Islands,” said Smith. “We are just happy to be a small part of its long history and be able to share in this journey with everyone.”

The stock offering is available for any investor. Shareholders receive exclusive benefits, including behind-the-scenes experiences and the opportunity to meet with the company’s leadership one-on-one. Who wouldn’t want to own part of a country that’s all about beach days and good vibes?

Ready-to-drink cocktails to bring the bar experience home
These ready-to-serve drinks will make you feel like you're at a bar instead of your home

I love a good cocktail bar. The type of place with a mix of classic and contemporary drinks. The kind of establishment where the bartenders are allowed to let their creativity flow, adding different flavors to elevate well-known mixed drinks. But I’m pretty busy with everyday life and don’t always have time to spend an evening drinking contemporary takes on the Old Fashioned or Negroni at a cocktail bar. This is where ready-to-drink cocktails come in. And while there are many overly sugary, low-alcohol options available, some brands make RTDs that taste like my favorite drinks and have the same (or similar alcohol content).
