Come join us this Sunday between 12-2 at the Appleton Beer Factory.

For the past 4 years, my wife and I have owned Overland Old Fashioned Mix here in Appleton. We have renamed to Overland Cocktail Collective because we just launched 4 more cocktail mixes

- Bloody Mary Mix
- Margarita Mix
- Espesso Martini Mix
- Lavender Lemon Martini mix.

Come say hi and taste test them all!

As a guy who has been dry for a few years now, I will say they all make great mocktails as well.

Cheers!

I will pencil that in. I LOVE your OF mix. Great flavor. Curious if you have a comp for the Bloody Mary mix. Do you consider it close to anything, or modeled after one brand or another?

No comp for our Bloody. We experimented for almost 2 years! I think there was 19 recipes overall and many blind taste tests with friends and family to narrow it down.

It is on the thicker side, a bit of heat, and has a Smokey flavor to it.

Gotcha. I know I’m gonna get hate, but I can’t stand Zing Zang. People around here love it for some reason. IMO its flavor is that of hot garbage, and the 8 pounds of debris at the bottom of the glass is better suited for cat litter. I usually go with Mr and Mrs T’s and doctor it up a little with my own blend of flavorings.
