what's our story?
“People ask us all the time how we came up with a wild idea like portable powdered cocktail mixers. The answer is simple… “Leisuremann’s began out of necessity…”
On a bitter cold hiking adventure in the heights of the Smoky Mountains in 2016, myself, Cliff Couvillon, along with my college buddy, Matt Curtis, observed a need for a go-anywhere, enjoy anytime, portable cocktail mix. Seeking the comforts of home, we attempted to make a primitive Old Fashioned with nothing more than powdered orange drink mix, an ancient bottle of bitters found at the LeConte Lodge, and copious amounts of whiskey.
Though a good drink at the moment, we realized quickly that we had something special already mixing up.
Combining our product design background, love for adventure, and many hours of field research (aka drinking cocktails), Leisuremann’s generated its first cocktail mix, The Old Fashioned, in the summer of 2016. Though Matt has thus moved on from Leisuremann’s since then, Cliff and his wife, Michaella, keep the spirit of Leisuremann’s alive.
Since 2016, we’ve added to our flavor library, expanding it to include other classics such as The Bee’s Knees, The Margarita, The Cosmopolitan, The Classic Daiquiri, The Bloody Mary, The Paloma, The Mojito, The Moscow Mule, Piña Colada, The Mint Julep, Sour Mixer, and the off the wall Turkey Gravy & Gold Rush. Our mixes are uncompromised, using only the best natural ingredients, no artificial flavors or colors, and absolutely no preservatives and or anti-clumping agents.
Moreover, all of our mixes are rooted in deep mixology & cocktail history, giving you an authentic classic cocktail experience. You won’t find a Spiced Old Fashioned or a Blueberry Margarita in our lineup, just straight-to-the-point classic libations done the right way!
If having cocktails is our mantra, then making things uncomplicated and easy is our core. Simply combine our cocktail mix, water, and your spirit of choice, to craft a genuine classic cocktail anywhere on Planet Earth.
Not interested in outdoor life? Use our mixes at home or for large events. They can easily be used to make a double—, triple, or 10x batch for all your home bartending needs.
Overall, Leisuremann’s was started for one simple reason: to have a good time. Most weekends you can find us at an event drinking cocktails, enjoying drinks with friends, or traveling somewhere on a daring adventure.
We enjoy life every day. Here is your invitation to join us. At Leisuremann's, we go where you go, so go on a cocktailventure and enjoy the world bottoms up!
Cheers!! Cliff & Mic
