Craftwell Cocktails Tees Up a Limited Release: The Transfusion

Fresh, Bold, and Perfect for a day on the links—Craftwell’s First Seasonal Craft Cocktail Is Here!

Corvallis, OR  February 6, 2025 – Craftwell Cocktails® is teeing up its first-ever seasonal release: the Transfusion. A staple at the 19th hole for decades, this golf course classic is now available in a convenient ready-to-drink canned format.

The Transfusion has been a golf course staple since the 1950s, with some attributing its rise in popularity to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who famously crafted his perfect post-round blend. Others suggest its origins date back even further. Either way, the Transfusion became known as the quintessential golfer’s refreshment. True to its name, this cocktail delivers a revitalizing boost after hours spent under the sun.

“Golf isn’t just a sport—it’s a tradition, and so is the Transfusion,” said Nels Jewell-Larsen, co-owner and vice president of business development for 2 Towns Ciderhouse “We wanted to capture the essence of this classic drink and make it accessible anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re celebrating a birdie or shaking off a tough round, the Transfusion is here to keep you on par.”

Rooted in tradition yet crafted for today, Craftwell’s Transfusion features a crisp, refreshing blend of Pacific Northwest Concord grapes, Mexican key lime juice, and a bright kick of ginger. Made with real fruit for authentic flavor, this light, invigorating cocktail is perfect for any golf game. Easy to enjoy—the Transfusion is best served over ice or chilled straight from the can.
