CDI Hosts Visit with Austin Cocktails Founder
Connecticut Distributors, Inc. (CDI), recently welcomed Kelly Gasink, Co-founder of Austin Cocktails, for a visit to the Connecticut market. Over several days, Gasink engaged with local restaurateurs and retailers, and was also the special guest at a happy hour and competitive cornhole tournament at Elicit Brewing Company in Fairfield on April 4. During a general sales meeting at CDI’s Stratford headquarters on April 5, Gasink shared the story of Austin Cocktails, which she founded with her sister, Jill Burns. The brand pays homage to their grandfather Fred, who initiated “cocktail time,” a tradition of gathering friends and family at 5 p.m. to enjoy connections after a day’s work in the fields. Austin Cocktails celebrates the legacy by crafting drinks that are original, full-flavored and suitable as year-round bar staples. The company uses only the finest natural ingredients sourced from around the world to create cocktails that offer lower calorie and carb options while embodying the full-bodied, crisp taste of bar-quality drinks. Austin Cocktails took nearly two years of working with numerous purveyors of natural juices, essences and extracts in its drink development, honoring Fred’s philosophy. CDI is the exclusive distributor of Austin Cocktails in Connecticut.
