If you ever need a margarita on the go, these are great. They already have alcohol in them but they are even better when you add extra tequila!

Some guys from NOLA started a company that sells them. I'd rather support someone local.

Pretty sure it was a group of guys that started Cordina. They recently started the Big Easy Blends company.

Yeah it was definitely three guys from Rummel.

I'm good buddies with one that graduated from LSU. They are about to announce a new alcoholic whipped cream product.

yea it was definitely guys. 3 guys that will become pretty wealthy if/when they decide to sell their brand.


according to a newsletter i read a few weeks ago, they sold twice as many cases of their product last year than Skinny Girl, which sold for like 100 million dollars recently.

I knew they were doing ok but I had no idea their numbers were that good. I have seen similar products on the market though. Hopefully they'll be able to cash out.

i didn't either. Read it all in the alumni newsletter a few weeks ago.

the guys were quoted as saying they don't think they have the capacity to grow the company any more than they have, and that selling was probably their future plans so that someone else can really start mass producing.

Apparently they're doing $100K a month in sales and their goal is $60 million in annual revenue in 5 years. That would be pretty awesome.

They are doing an awesome job. I worked with one of them back in the day. Very nice and worked his butt off.

The article is a little misleading though to compare Cordina to Skinnygirl. They are comparing the number of cases sold but the price of the skinnygirl product is 5 times that of the margorita. I'm no business major though.

Yeah, im not really sure how skinny girl is sold.

I guess it cold be slightly misleading if they are not packaged similarly.


but it sounds like they are doing really well, regardless.

Cordina is my buddy's company. :) My friend and I got so excited the first time we saw them in a convenience store in Austin, we made the store clerk take our picture with it so we could send it to Craig.
