Post Meridiem Spirit Company

What Post Meridiem Spirit Company does

Post Meridiem Spirit Company is an Atlanta-based, privately held producer of full-strength, premixed canned cocktails, founded in 2018 by Andrew Rodbell and Charles Sain. The company pioneered the 100ml tiny-can format for RTD cocktails in April 2019, producing a 12-SKU portfolio of classic cocktails (including Classic Margarita, Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, Mojito, and Cosmopolitan) in small batches at its TTB-licensed Atlanta facility, using nitrogen dosing to preserve freshness. Beyond its own brand, Post Meridiem operates 100ml can co-packing services for third-party brands, offering TTB-licensed high-speed and low-speed production lines, automated pack-out for 24-can trays, refrigerated storage, and 30,000 square feet of warehousing dedicated to the 100ml format.

The company sells through three channels: direct-to-consumer e-commerce at shop.postmeridiemspirits.com, retail liquor stores across 40 U.S. states accessed via a store locator, and local pickup in Atlanta. Per-unit retail pricing ranges from $3.99 to $4.49 per 100ml can, with multi-pack options available online. Margins are supported by a premium positioning — 100% real fruit juices, barrel-aged bourbon, steeped bitters, and recipe transparency — and credentialed by Best in Class and Platinum/Silver medals from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and SIP International Spirits Competition.

Post Meridiem is bootstrapped and independently owned with no disclosed institutional capital, parent company, or subsidiaries. The leadership team consists of co-founders Andrew Rodbell and Charles Sain and Director of Marketing Korey Meek. The company continues to expand its national footprint (from 30 to 40 states) and product line (April 2026 launches of Skinny and Spicy Margarita variants), while leveraging its 100ml format leadership and TTB-licensed infrastructure to serve both consumer and co-packing B2B demand.

Direct peers

• Truly Hard Seltzer: Hard seltzer brand owned by Boston Beer Company with broad national distribution and growing expansion into canned cocktails. Competes for the same canned single-serve alcoholic occasion and shelf space.
• White Claw Hard Seltzer: Category-defining hard seltzer brand with dominant US market share in canned RTD alcoholic beverages. Competes for the same single-serve canned alcoholic occasion, though at a different price and flavor position.
• Skinnygirl Cocktails: Lower-calorie cocktail brand (Beam Suntory) targeting health-conscious consumers with RTD offerings. Directly comparable to Post Meridiem's Skinny Margarita in product positioning and consumer segment.
• Tip Top Cocktails: Ready-to-drink classic cocktails in single-serve packaging marketed as bartender-quality. Comparable premium positioning, real-ingredient story, and retail distribution model to Post Meridiem.
• Cutwater Spirits: Premium canned cocktail brand offering a broad lineup of classic spirits-based cocktails (margarita, Moscow mule, old fashioned) distributed nationally. Closest direct competitor in the full-strength, real-ingredient canned cocktail segment.
• On The Rocks Cocktails: Premium ready-to-drink classic cocktails in single-serve cans (e.g., Old Fashioned, Margarita, Cosmopolitan), sold through retail and on-premise channels. Directly comparable product positioning to Post Meridiem, competing for the same premium-RTD shelf set.
• High Noon: Hard seltzer/RTD brand owned by Gallo with broad national retail distribution and strong velocity in single-serve cans. Comparable packaging format and channel strategy, though positioned in the lighter-flavor segment of the canned RTD category.

Broad incumbents

• Brown-Forman: US-based spirits company with a portfolio that includes canned and bottled cocktails. Relevant comparable as a major spirits incumbent expanding into RTD formats that compete for retailer listings.
• Jose Cuervo: Largest tequila producer globally with a portfolio that includes ready-to-drink margaritas. Comparable in the tequila-based RTD segment but operates as a broad spirits incumbent rather than a specialized RTD cocktail brand.
• Diageo: Global spirits giant with multiple RTD cocktail and pre-mixed offerings (e.g., Smirnoff RTD, Captain Morgan RTD). Provides scale, distribution, and marketing muscle that competes for the same shelf and consumer occasion as Post Meridiem.
