Powell & Mahoney Announces Current Ranking in the Natural, Organic and Specialty Products Industry
Company also celebrates entry into the foodservice space at first-ever New York City event
NEW YORK, March 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Powell & Mahoney announced that SPINS, a division of Nielson and the leading provider of retail consumer insights, analytics and consulting for the Natural, Organic and Specialty Products industry, recently placed the company within the top three in the natural foods category. After just five years in business, Powell & Mahoney ranks number two, and is the youngest company on the list showing the biggest growth. This news was announced by the company's co-founders Brian Powell and Mark Mahoney to top media and influencers from the food and beverage sector at the company's first-ever New York City press event, held on Thursday, March 12, at Toshi's Penthouse and Living Room. Celebrity Master Mixologist, Tad Carducci of Tippling Brothers, was also on hand to mix cocktails he created using Powell & Mahoney's award-winning mixers.
"We are thrilled with the ranking," said Brain Powell. "Powell & Mahoney started out as a vision to provide the marketplace with a delicious, all-natural product that would generate a favorable response. Now, after just five years in business, we are on the heels of the category leader with our authentically reproduced mixers for some of the world's best-loved classic cocktails as well as a few twists of our own. We continue our dedication to making top-quality products for our consumers because their parties – and their cocktails – deserve the best!"
Powell also announced the company's collaboration with Leahy-IFP Co. to introduce a new line of foodservice packaging, making it affordable, quick and easy for bartenders to use Powell & Mahoney mixers to create consistently enjoyable cocktails in less time without sacrificing taste. "Our new foodservice packaging will allow bartenders to make more drinks, turning a bigger profit for the bar and earning more tips for themselves. No more juicing and muddling – just more money being made," explained Powell. Powell & Mahoney's Margarita, Peach Bellini and Bloody Mary flavors will be offered in easy-to-store, environmentally-conscience aseptic carton that makes this move into foodservice possible.
In 2014, The Beverage Testing Institute recognized Powell & Mahoney's Sriracha Bloody Mary, Jalapeño Margarita and Peach Bellini cocktail mixers for their excellence, all of which also received honors at the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition. The Sriracha Bloody Mary won a gold medal as well as "Best of Show" and "Best of Division;" the Chipotle Bloody Mary and the Peach Bellini won gold medals; and the Jalapeno Margarita and original Bloody Mary received silver medals. In early 2015, the Sriracha Bloody Mary, Jalapeno Margarita and Peach Bellini cocktail mixers also received high accolades from the Beverage Testing Institute.
During the New York City event, invited guests were treated to cocktails created by Tad Carducci, who creates all of the cocktails featured on the Powell & Mahoney Cocktail Mixer bottles. Carducci took this opportunity to showcase the new Spring, Summer, Fall and Holiday 2015 cocktails.
