Burnt Church Distillery Launches New Ready-to-Drink Cocktail: Island Time
BLUFFTON, SC – Watterson Brands and the Burnt Church Distillery, 120 Bluffton Rd. are pleased to announce the launch of Island Time, a new ready-to-drink line of cocktail beverages. Currently available in three flavors; Whiskey Mule; Piña Colada Vodka Soda; and Grapefruit Orange Gin & Tonic; the 12 oz. canned cocktails come in packs of four and are available for purchase at the Distillery and soon wherever Burnt Church Distillery products are sold in South Carolina and Georgia.
Distillery Founders Billy and Sean Watterson have spent the last 16 months perfecting the initial recipes and invite the public to “get on Island Time” on October 23rd, 4 pm to 7 pm at the Distillery for an island-themed celebration. The family-inclusive event is free and open to the public, will feature food, games, a steel drum band, yacht rock, an “island attire” competition, giveaways, and Island Time samples to patrons aged 21 years and older. Updates will be provided on Island Time social media channels, so please consider following on Instagram and Facebook for the latest news, events, contests, and more.
“Island Time is a tribute to the flavors of the Lowcountry region and the craft spirits so expertly made at the Distillery. Inspired by feelings reminiscent of an island vacation and the notes of our favorite cocktails, we wanted to create a product that transports your experience,” said Billy Watterson, CEO of Watterson Brands and Burnt Church Distillery co-founder. “The result is an island state of mind in a can, accessible wherever you are!”
Island Time cocktails distinguishes itself from other ready-to-drink beverages currently available on the market simply by the ingredients: All natural flavors and the use of high-quality, distilled spirits – instead of malted alcohol.
“We challenge our master distillers and mixologists to create beverages with flavors to delight the senses every day. We hope that our customers will close their eyes and imagine themselves on whatever shore, beach, peak, bluff or destination that is the most meaningful to them, pause reality and get on island time,” said Sean Watterson, Burnt Church Distillery co-founder and director of innovation.
