Charleston Mix has become the nation’s top selling craft bloody mary mix, the company reports. The company, which began in 2009 as Charleston Beverage Co. by Ryan Eleuteri, said increased grocery store sales for bloody mary mix boosted numbers for Charleston Mix, according to data from Nielsen. More than $17 billion in sales have shifted from established brands to smaller companies like craft producer Charleston Mix since 2013, the report said.

“We are pleased to experience continued growth and demand for Charleston Mix across the Southeast and Midwest, and remain committed to further expanding distribution,” said Jeff Crowley, CEO of Charleston Beverage Co. “Charleston Mix boasts bold flavor and high-quality natural ingredients that you simply cannot get elsewhere.”
