Introducing Pony Boy Slings: The Kentucky Bourbon Craft Cocktail in a Can

Time of Reading: 2 minutes

I love celebrating founders who bring fresh, exciting products to life because launching an emerging brand is no easy feat, and an RTD beverage is even more difficult. 

That’s why I’m excited to share a brand I’ve consulted with — “Pony Boy Slings,” a new craft bourbon based canned cocktail brand. With their expertly crafted flavors, Pony Boy Slings is quickly becoming a must-try for anyone who appreciates premium cocktails with a twist. 

Pony Boy Slings was created by the husband-and-wife team of bartender Mike Bass and Janell Bass. With years of experience mixing drinks and perfecting flavors, Mike and Janell have developed three incredible craft cocktails that set Pony Boy apart from other ready-to-drink (RTD) offerings. 

Their journey is a testament to what happens when passion, expertise, and creativity come together. Mike’s bartending background and Janell’s taste for the finer things have produced a lineup of drinks that are equal parts refreshing and bold. 

The Flavors You Can’t Miss 

Pony Boy Slings launched with three carbonated bourbon based initial flavors: My Cherry Amour, Bourbon Poster, Derby Cream Soda. Other lovely ingredients include fortified wines, real juices, bitters, and natural flavors with a just-made-by-a-bartender feel which makes them ideal for unwinding at home, hosting friends, or as a perfect party drink.
