Jack Rudy Cocktail Co.
BRAND OVERVIEW
Inspired by their namesake Jack Rudy – a man of many talents and passions – the Jack Rudy
Cocktail Co. takes long forgotten staples of the American bar and reinvents them. Each
product is produced in small batches and distributed carefully across the world to finer bottle
shops, bars, restaurants and general fans of a delicious drink. This family-run company is based
in Charleston, SC and Lexington, KY.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Jack Rudy Cocktail Co. produces a variety of products that are core to the making of the
perfect cocktail: the Small Batch Tonic, made of quinine, a delicate mix of botanicals, and
sweetened with real cane sugar; Elderflower Tonic, an updated tonic formula with more
body and a bold finish meant to pair well with richer spirits — while still acting as a classic
companion to the finer gins of the world; Grenadine, made of pomegranate fruit juice,
combined with cane sugar and orange flower water; Aromatic Bitters, made of burnt cane
sugar syrup, with complex and nuanced notes of citrus, winter spices, and bittering agents
added; and the newest member to the line, Sweet Tea Syrup, a grown-up homage to the
company’s Southern roots.
