Epic Western Cocktail Co., San Antonio, launched two new flavors, Chispa Rita, a skinny margarita, and La Paloma, a grapefruit tequila cocktail.
Epic Western has been on the market for nine months and its founders say it is surpassing expectations. It currently has statewide distribution in Texas and Nevada, and plans to expand distribution to Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina by the end of the summer.
The company has grown to 12 full-time employees from four in the last two months, including the addition of James Elledge as Chief Marketing Officer. Elledge helped build Texas-based Deep Eddy Vodka into a national brand, and most recently led Marketing & Sales as Partner/Owner of Austin-based apparel brand, Duck Camp.
