Discover Uncharted: Long Road Distillers Launches Zero-Proof Cocktails

At Long Road Distillers, we’ve always taken pride in crafting exceptional beverages that challenge convention and deliver unforgettable experiences. Now, we’re charting new territory with Uncharted Zero Proof Cocktails, a line of premium canned cocktails that redefine what an alcohol-free drink can be. Whether you’re moderating your intake or simply seeking something new, Uncharted offers a bold, flavorful, and uncompromising alternative that stands on its own.

The Craft of Zero-Proof

Creating a zero-proof cocktail wasn’t just about filling a gap—it was about setting a new benchmark. At Long Road, we approached Uncharted with the same passion and precision that has earned our spirits international acclaim. Each drink is designed to deliver the depth, complexity, and balance of a craft cocktail, all without alcohol.

“This wasn’t about mimicking what’s already out there,” said Jon O’Connor, Co-Founder of Long Road Distillers. “Uncharted was born from a desire to create something exceptional—a drink that embodies the craftsmanship and care that defines Long Road, with or without alcohol.”

Uncharted is more than just an alternative; it’s an invitation to explore the future of beverages. With bold flavors and thoughtful design, these cocktails are crafted for those who refuse to compromise on quality or experience.

Flavors That Inspire

Uncharted’s lineup features four meticulously crafted flavors, each designed to excite the palate and inspire discovery:

  • Chinotto: A zesty, citrus-forward blend with layers of bitter complexity, perfect for those who love a sophisticated sip.
  • Lemongrass Mule: A refreshing twist on the classic mule, balancing bright lemongrass with warm, spicy ginger.
  • Red Amaro Spritz: A bittersweet medley of botanicals, ideal for those seeking a drink that balances boldness with elegance.
  • Lavender Lemonade: A floral-forward take on a timeless favorite, soothing yet vibrant in every sip.

“With Uncharted, we didn’t want to just replace alcohol—we wanted to offer a full sensory experience,” said Kyle VanStrien, Co-Founder. “These flavors stand on their own, delivering the same complexity and creativity that define our spirits.”

The Rise of Zero-Proof

Uncharted arrives at a time when the zero-proof market is booming. Non-alcoholic beverages now represent a $493 million segment in the U.S., with sales growing 33% year-over-year. Categories like ready-to-drink (RTD) non-alcoholic cocktails are leading the way, reflecting a shift in consumer preferences.

This growth is driven by a range of drinkers, from those embracing wellness-focused lifestyles to the “sober-curious” looking for new experiences. These consumers are no longer satisfied with substitutes; they demand premium, innovative products that stand alongside traditional beverages.

“Zero-proof isn’t just a trend—it’s a reimagining of what a great drink can be,” said O’Connor. “Uncharted is our way of contributing to this movement, offering bold, thoughtful, and exceptional zero-proof cocktails.”

A Story in Every Sip

Uncharted is more than a beverage; it’s an experience. Every detail of the brand reflects a spirit of exploration and connection:

  • The lighthouse, inspired by Michigan’s Beaver Island, symbolizes guidance and the comfort of home.
  • The geopin represents tools for navigating life’s adventures.
  • The topographic patterns celebrate uncharted paths and the journeys we all take.
  • The swallow, a harbinger of safe travels, embodies optimism and bold beginnings.

Together, these elements create a visual and emotional narrative that invites drinkers to explore new possibilities and make every sip meaningful.

Mark Your Calendar

To celebrate the launch of Uncharted, we’re hosting a special event on December 18th at More or Less NA Beer and Wine in Grand Rapids. Join us for complimentary samples, a chance to connect with our team, and an evening dedicated to discovering the next chapter in zero-proof cocktails.

Available Now

Uncharted Zero Proof Cocktails are available at all Long Road Distillers locations and select retailers across Michigan, with expanded distribution planned throughout December. Each 4-pack is priced at $9.99, offering a premium yet accessible option for those eager to try something new.

Rooted in Excellence, Built for Discovery

Since opening in 2015, Long Road Distillers has been dedicated to crafting exceptional products that stand apart. With Uncharted, we continue that tradition, proving that zero-proof beverages can be just as bold, complex, and memorable as any spirit.

“We approached Uncharted with the same dedication we bring to our award-winning spirits,” said VanStrien. “This isn’t just about creating something new—it’s about redefining what’s possible.”

NEWS: Lake + Valley Lemonade | GVSU partners with local distiller to create canned cocktail

, ,

Originally published on WZZM13 News, June 24, 2024

Grand Valley State University has partnered with a local distiller to make a GVSU branded canned cocktail.

ALLENDALE, Mich. — In 2023, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a bill into law legalizing the sale of alcohol at college athletic events in the state.

Since that bill was signed, colleges across Michigan have applied for liquor licenses and have even began sales. Grand Valley State University (GVSU) has even partnered with a local distiller to make a GVSU branded canned cocktail.

Lake + Valley Lemonade, distilled by Long Road Distillers, is the latest installment of the GVSU Lake + Valley lifestyle line. Long Road Distillers is owned by GVSU alumni and opened in May of 2015.

“As Laker Alumni, Kyle and I are thrilled beyond belief to have an opportunity to partner with GVSU in the creation of Lake + Valley Lemonade,” said Long Road Owner and Co-Founder Jon O’Conner. “The amazing educational opportunities and experiences GVSU provided to us both were instrumental in giving us the confidence to start our own distillery. To now be able to partner with the university in the creation of a world class Ready to Drink canned cocktail they can call their own is something we are so unbelievably proud of!”

Starting Monday, June 24 the canned cocktail will be available for purchase throughout the state of Michigan as they plan to sell it in stores, bars and restaurants.

In fall, when the football season kicks off, Laker fans will be able to purchase and enjoy Lake + Valley Lemonade at Lubbers Stadium and the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena. The 12 oz cans will feature the “GV” athletics trademark and color. The cocktail itself will have flavors of lemon and blueberry with a hint of basil.

“It felt blue, Grand Valley Laker Blue. It felt right going with the blueberry lemonade. It would be a light, refreshing, crisp drink that would be great for the Michigan summers,” said Joshua Borger, Director of Marketing and Fan Development.

The cocktail features Long Road distillers original vodka and contains five percent alcohol with 110 calories. The director of marketing at GVSU said students and the community are excited about the new drink.

“Students seem pretty excited. I’ve seen a few comments that say they can’t wait to try this at football games. It’s really awesome that people can’t wait to get back to Grand Rapids so that they can try it,” said Borger.

“We are humbled to partner with a GVSU Alumni owned business that is anchored in our West Michigan community. Jon and Kyle’s commitment to quality, service, and excellence aligns with GVSU Athletics value of championship excellence. This new partnership with Lake + Valley Lemonade has truly combined two hard working championship brands to create a product that will be enjoyed by Long Road fans and Laker Nation alike,” said Deputy Director of GVSU Athletics, Doug Lipinski.

“With distribution across the state, we are excited to extend the GVSU brand to new areas. No matter if it is a hot Michigan summer day at the lake or a beautiful fall night tailgating at Lubbers Stadium, Lake + Valley Lemonade is perfect. We look forward to the growth of this partnership.” Lipinski added.

Long Road Distillers Introduces Ready-to-Drink Espresso Martini with Madcap Coffee Co.

, ,

Local partnership brings popular modern-classic cocktail to new, convenient heights.

Long Road Distillers and Madcap Coffee Company, both headquartered in Grand Rapids, have again collaborated to develop a product that marries what they do best – spirits and coffee. The Long Road Nitro Espresso Martini, a ready-to-drink canned cocktail, is now popping up on retail store shelves and in bar coolers around the state of Michigan. The new release features Long Road Vodka, Madcap Coffee, and Amaro Pazzo.

Long Road Distillers and Madcap Coffee previously partnered to create Amaro Pazzo, a traditional Italian-style bittersweet liqueur that features Madcap’s Eureka coffee blend as a primary ingredient. It is available in bottled form throughout Michigan, including at Long Road tasting rooms in Grand Rapids and Grand Haven.

The owners of Long Road consider the Nitro Espresso Martini to be another step in the evolution of a modern-classic cocktail that dates back to the 1980’s and is experiencing a renaissance in popularity. Famed British bartender Dick Bradsell is credited with creating the first iteration of the vodka-espresso combo when he was asked by a patron to make them a cocktail to “wake me up and [get me buzzed].” The combination of vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur and sugar has been riffed on behind bars ever since.

“Who doesn’t love a well-made espresso martini as a pick-me-up while out on the town?” asked Jon O’Connor, co-owner and co-founder of Long Road Distillers “But it takes a lot of effort to enjoy one when away from the bar, without an espresso machine and all the ingredients on hand,” he continued. “We’ve done all the legwork for you – creating a perfectly balanced drink, adding a dose of nitrogen for an iconic frothy head and creamy finish, all in the convenience of a can.”

The Long Road Nitro Espresso Martini is an extension of a cocktail named At Last the distillery has been running on their menus since opening Less Traveled, a cocktail bar in the East Hills Neighborhood of Grand Rapids. It was an immediate hit and continues to be one of the best-selling cocktails on the menu at all locations month after month.

To make the ready-to-drink version of the cocktail as authentic as possible, it is canned at 13% alcohol by volume, nearly the maximum for a canned cocktail in Michigan. With the introduction of caffeine and higher alcohol content, the distillery decided to package the drink in 6.8oz cans rather than the traditional 12oz format.

The Long Road Nitro Espresso Martini, as well as Long Road’s entire portfolio of ready-to-drink cocktails and bottled spirits, is being distributed throughout Michigan by Imperial Beverage. Bars, restaurants, and retailers interested in carrying Long Road products should contact their Imperial Beverage account manager for more information. Want to find a 4-pack near you?

The lemonade was one of three new RTD canned cocktails that Long Road released into statewide distribution at the beginning of February. The canned beverages are being distributed by Imperial Beverage and are now available in over 600 retailers, bars, and restaurants throughout Michigan.

Long Road Distillers to Launch Ready to Drink Canned Cocktails Statewide

Grand Rapids-based Long Road Distillers has announced the statewide distribution of their new line of ready to drink canned cocktails. The distillery has partnered with Kalamazoo-based Imperial Beverage to assist in the sale and delivery of the new products to bars, restaurants, and retailers throughout Michigan. Imperial Beverage also carries Long Road’s line of craft spirits in the market.

The new line of RTD cocktails will begin hitting store shelves and restaurant backbars as soon as Wednesday, February 1.

Since 2020, the distillery has produced and canned a few varieties of RTD cocktails on a limited basis, but never at a scale that allowed them to distribute statewide. As the products gained in popularity and sales outpaced production, Long Road explored new ways to meet demand, improve upon the products, and get them into more hands.

“We regularly get calls and e-mails about our canned cocktails from people around the state who visited one of our locations or picked up a 4-pack at a West Michigan retailer,” said Kyle VanStrien, co-owner and co-founder of Long Road Distillers. “Up to this point, we’ve had to encourage them to take a road trip back to the area so they could stock up. Now, they’ll be able to grab our products closer to home!”

Long Road will have three products with their initial launch, all canned at 7% alcohol by volume:

  • The Polish Falcon – the distillery’s version of a Moscow mule, featuring Long Road Original Vodka, lemongrass ginger beer, and lime.
  • Lavender Lemonade – based off a longtime tasting room favorite, Teta’s Lemonade, featuring Long Road Original Vodka, lavender, rosewater and lemon.
  • Rosemary Gin Fizz – a brand new offering, featuring Long Road Dry Gin, rosemary, grapefruit, lemon and a hint of salt.

“We’re very excited about this growth opportunity with our canned cocktails,” said Jon O’Connor, co-owner and co-founder of Long Road Distillers. “The category is outpacing all others and with a few adjustments to the formulas and our production schedule, we’re confident this will be a big part of our business going forward.”

Imperial Beverage will begin distributing the canned cocktails to bars, restaurants and retailers this week. Check the Long Road Distillers Spirit Finder on their website to find a retailer nearby who has ordered the products. Retailers or restaurants interested in carrying the new products should contact their Imperial Beverage account manager.

Press Release: Long Road Distillers Introduces New Spirit, Sovereign Gin

Grand Rapids distillery releases new gin naturally colored with butterfly pea flower

Long Road Distillers has released a new spirit to their growing portfolio: Sovereign Gin. The new fixture to their year-round offerings is handcrafted from start to finish at the distillery on Leonard Street and is built from a botanical blend of juniper, lime peel, grapefruit peel, bay leaf, Thai basil and more. The most unique feature of the new spirit, though, is its brilliant violet hue. Sovereign Gin is naturally colored with butterfly pea flower and changes color to bright pink or royal blue based on the acidity of the spirit and what is mixed into it.

“This is one of our most exciting spirit releases yet,” said Kyle VanStrien, co-owner and co-founder of Long Road Distillers. “The packaging and spirit color alone is beautiful, but the flavor profile of this gin is what will hook enthusiasts.”

Sovereign Gin’s botanical blend is based off a small batch of gin the distillery produced several years ago and released just once. It was a hit at the time but needed something more to take it to the next level.

“The addition of butterfly pea flower as a natural coloring ingredient was a game changer for this spirit,” said Jon O’Connor, co-owner and co-founder of Long Road. “In our minds, the color changing effect when tonic or citrus is added brings the presentation of Sovereign Gin in line with the amazing flavor profile of the product. It may be our favorite gin ever, and that’s saying a lot up against the rest of our portfolio!”

Sovereign Gin is now available by the bottle or in featured cocktails at all Long Road Distillers tasting rooms, including at the distillery on Grand Rapids’ west side. It is also available via statewide distribution through Imperial Beverage, and can be found at spirit retailers, bars and restaurants.
