WHAT WE WERE GRABBING OUT OF THE COOLER THIS SUMMER 2021 ULTIMATE CRAFT COOLER W ell, it was another year that our travel by Lee Ann Atwater was limited, so we were not on the road attending festivals, industry trade shows and conferences to keep on top of what is happening in business and industry. One thing that we did keep track of was what we were drinking from last year’s Ultimate Craft Cooler project, and these are the ones that stood the test of time and were in our coolers this summer.
Earl Grey Mule 6.9% ABV Black Diamond Distillery | St. Albert, AB, Canada https:// www.blackdiamonddistillery.com/
The award-winning Black Diamond Distillery is located in St. Albert, Alberta, co-owners, Andrea and David Scade feel strongly about produc - ing all their own alcohol. They don’t believe that true craft spirits can be produced using shortcuts like flavour additives or mass-produced spirits. While certainly not the most profitable or efficient means of production, they have strived to stay true to the quality and authenticity of what they produce, using natural, pure, organic (when possible) ingredients. The couple is proud of what they create and never waiver from the truest form of their craft and are focused on the belief that their customers deserve the best experience we can give them, their friends and family. Spotlight on Business Magazine had the honor to feature Black Diamond Distillery in our August 2020 Issue (https://online.flippingbook.com/ view/637833/44-45/) and know that they are a good thing as they head for this award-winning distillery as they expanded their market exposure. Black Diamond Distillery’s Earl Grey Mule is made with all natural ingredi - ents; filtered water, Earl Grey Vodka, ginger-pepper syrup [water, ginger, black pepper, beet sugar] and lime juice. This perfectly mixed ready- to-drink canned cocktail is ready for any event. We hope you love it as much as we do as we know that we will be ordering more of these that is for sure!!!
