U.S. Veteran Launches Oo-Lah Canned Cocktails

The “Kickback Cocktail” was created in Hollywood, Florida.

The launch of oo-Lah Cocktails represents a noteworthy achievement in ready-to-drink beverages. The new collection of top-notch canned cocktails aims to offer an exceptional taste experience for cocktail enthusiasts and casual consumers. Carefully crafted and canned in Hollywood and established by veterans, oo-Lah features an initial lineup of four unique flavors: Spicy Margarita, Big-O, Island Girl and Prickly Pear Margarita.

“Our mission at oo-Lah is to deliver the best RTD cocktail you will ever taste,” says Trevor Spiers, co-founder of oo-Lah. “With our commitment to quality ingredients and innovative flavors, we are proud to offer a product that embodies relaxation and adventure.”

After completing his service in the United States Marine Corps, Spiers was stationed in Kane’ohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, for a period of time. During this time, he fully embraced the waterman lifestyle, spending his days surfing, diving, and spearfishing. This peaceful coastal existence allowed him to fully adopt a relaxed and laid-back way of life.

“We’re experts at kicking back and hanging out, we wanted to replicate the nostalgia of a simple beach day,” says Chris Klein, co-founder of oo-Lah. “They say if you put your ear up to a can of oo-Lah you can hear steel drums, a warm breeze and breaking waves. We’re confident when tasted side-by-side, an oo-Lah and the bartender’s mixed drink are almost indistinguishable”.

Oo-Lah comes in four flavors:

  • Island Girl: This premixed cocktail offers a perfect blend of coconut, pineapple, orange, and rum.
  • TheBigO: This delightful coastal cocktail leaves a lingering smoothness on the palate, reminiscent of the famous Orange Crush. This fun and elegant drink captures the essence of freshly squeezed Florida oranges, a zesty lemon-lime spritz, a touch of Triple Sec, and top-quality Vodka Spirits.
  • Spicy Margarita: This bold and classic cocktail packs a fiery punch. It combines tangy limes, spicy jalapeno, and tequila to perfectly twist Mexico’s iconic drink.
  • Prickly Pear Margarita: This cocktail produces a rich and full flavor reminiscent of a blend of kiwi, pear and apple. When combined with high-quality tequila, this cocktail, inspired by bartenders, will convince any margarita enthusiast of the wonders of the Prickly Pear.

Oo-Lah Cocktails are at specific stores and distributed by Community Craft Wine and Spirits in Florida and Pretty Ugly Distribution in Virginia. For more information, please visit www.oolahcocktails.com/home.
