Flavorman

Thank you to everyone who visited us at the American Distilling Institute Convention and Tradeshow in Baltimore! We enjoyed making new connections, sharing insights, and deepening our relationships within the incredible beverage industry. Also, thank you to the American Distilling Institute for letting us use your space and resources! We can't wait to make our rounds again next year!

Happy Labor Day, folks! We hope you're enjoying the good weather with friends and family. In our beverage expert opinion, we are willing to bet that some of you are enjoying an ice-cold Hard Seltzer on this end-of-summer day. How right are we? While we have your attention, we wanted to talk about our process of formulating those delicious Hard Seltzers for our clients. Combining sugar brew, delicious flavors, and a bit of carbonation, this category has taken off in popularity for the past five years and isn't slowing down anytime soon. In fact, the US Hard Seltzer market is predicted to reach $25.21 billion by 2032. Interested in tapping into this market? Check out our page about our Hard Seltzer creations below!

One of our most popular creations amongst clients in recent years has been the beloved Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Cocktail. We are proud to have formulated these boozy, flavorful concoctions alongside some of the world's most successful brands, and we wanted to share some of the love and knowledge. For example, did you know the Sazerac is the oldest known cocktail in the world? Through the link below, you can learn about our scientific process in this category and learn some fun trivia facts along the way!

Last week, we had a very 'chilled-out' Spin Day, where we celebrated our incredible colleagues and enjoyed some delicious New Orleans-style SnoBalls. Thank you so much to the SnoWhat truck for coming to The Beverage Campus and serving us your delicious creations! We hope to see you all again soon.

Congratulations to our esteemed Chief Technical Officer, Kristen Wemer, for recently being inducted into the 2025 Leadership Louisville Class! For 46 years, the Leadership Louisville Center has chosen 67 of Louisville's most impactful professionals to unite under this program and strengthen our community. We are thrilled to be represented in this incredible program and couldn't be more proud of our colleague. Cheers to Kristen and all of the leaders in this momentous class!

Calling all of our Ready-to-Drink Cocktail clients! Although the Summer Olympics have ended, you can still take home a medal for your delicious creations. The American Craft Spirits Association competition is officially open for entries until September 13th! This panel of expert judges will evaluate all craft spirits, including specialty spirits and RTDs. Regardless of the results, you will receive in-depth tasting notes from true industry professionals, which is equally as exciting! Will your brand be next to take home the gold?

Last week, our Flavorman team enjoyed an evening of baseball, hot dogs, and bobbleheads with the Louisville Bats at Slugger Field! Thank you, and cheers to Louisville Tourism for your generosity in letting us take over your suite for the night. While the summer season is sadly ending, our team always knows how to have a great time!

We are thrilled to introduce everyone to our youngest client, Joey DiRocco! At 12 years old, Joey conceptualized a line of Hydration Drinks called "Sparklytes" and has been formulating alongside his parents and our Beverage Architects for several months. We were inspired by his creativity, giving nature, and ambition to Change What the World is Drinking - so we created this blog and video about his story. So, without further adieu, meet Joey!
