About Sean Cote

My StoryBuilding brands and creating something from nothing has always been my passion. Today, I have the privilege of growing Sundial Cocktails, a family-owned business, serving communities across multiple states.My journey began as a college student in Berlin, Germany, where I first discovered the rise of ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails. Inspired by this trend, I dove deep into researching the industry—exploring trends, flavors, and markets. During COVID, I turned years of research and development into reality, launching Sundial Cocktails.Five years later, Sundial Cocktails has expanded into several states, offering direct-to-consumer shipping across the U.S. Despite the challenges of the ever-evolving RTD market, we’ve achieved year-over-year growth and continue to innovate as a small, family-owned brand.About Sundial Cocktails:Sundial Cocktails are rum-inspired canned cocktails. Each cocktail is perfectly crafted with rum from the U.S. Virgin Islands, natural flavors, and real sugar. Our goal was to create authentic rum cocktails, which is why we boast an 8% ABV.Order today: Flavors:Island Rum PunchTropical Mai TaiSunset MojitoSpiced Rum & GingerFall Fusion (seasonal)Where to Find UsIn stores: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Florida, Cayman IslandsShipping direct throughout the United StatesAvailable Now:
