New local cocktail mix announces November launch

A new locally made cocktail mixer is set to hit store shelves next month. Bloody Buddies, a new brand of bloody mary mixers, will launch in November, co-owner Kelly Quinn told KLEM.

 

Bloody Buddies started after Quinn, who also owns Soho Kitchen & Bar and Marty’s Tap in Sioux City, got the idea at Marty’s.

 

Fellow co-owner Kyle Britton joined with Bloody Buddies after Quinn realized what the demand looked like for a local cocktail mixer.

 

Britton says Bloody Buddies is different from other bloody mary mixes in that it uses all natural ingredients.

 

Bloody Buddies was a part of Sioux City’s Innovation Market this past May, reaching the final round. Quinn, Britton, and Taylor decided to launch it on their own after teaming up with a local co-packer, and says their goal is to have a wider reach than just Siouxland.

 

Bloody Buddies will launch next month. A list of locations and launch details will be announced later on their social media pages.
