Bring Lucille To The Party

by Leave a Comment

Summer is right around the corner and that means parties with friends, family cookouts and weddings. Don’t fret about finding the perfect drink recipe. Have you met Lucille? Bring her to the party! You’ll always receive a perfect mix of dry spice blend from Lucille’s Bloody Mary Mix, just like the 1940s style concoction.

The war was over, young couples were rediscovering peacetime pleasures and cocktails were taking off. Duke and Lucille never said no to a good time with friends, and their favorite cocktail was born at a weekend card game. From this day forward, Lucille made it her quest to try every Bloody Mary mix she could find alongside her son, Gary.

He began formulating his own mixture that combined different dry spices and herbs until finally the perfect mix was found. Gary began sharing the goodness with his friends, and they encouraged him to start packaging and selling it. You can get the same mixture Gary first made years ago!

From Mild To Hot

Featuring three special blends, Lucille’s Bloody Mary Mix won’t let you down. The first mix is the Cajun Hot. Taking a cue from the culture that gave the world Tabasco sauce, this mix cranks the heat all the way up. Peppery on the palate, Cajun Hot will spice things up in your Bloody Mary. This mix is also great on barbeque ribs!

Next is the New Orleans Nippy. Mardi Gras meets Delta Blues in this mixture, bringing some more sizzle with some heat for your Bloody Mary or seafood.

Last, but certainly not least, is the San Francisco Mild. With a taste as cosmopolitan as the “City by the Bay,” the mild mix makes a crowd-pleasing Bloody Mary. Also pairs well with meat dishes, pasta and appetizers.

No matter your preference, Lucille’s has the Bloody Mary mix for your taste buds. Years of research and tweaking have made this the go-to concoction to please all patrons. Stock the shelves with smaller 4 ounce bags, or go big with the 32 ounce resealable bag. From mild to wild, Lucille’s is the perfect option.

Doing it Right with Meacham Ham

by Leave a Comment

Gourmet food is all about quality. It requires use of the finest ingredients prepared to yield the finest results. Customers only want the best foods on the market when they’re paying top dollar, and they definitely know it when they taste it. That’s why choosing your food vendors is so important. You need to find someone with a proven track record and years of experience. You need Meacham Ham!

Scrumptious Country Ham and More

If ham is what you’re looking for, they certainly have plenty of that! They have cooked and uncooked versions of their country ham, which has been packed in a mixture of salt and other curing ingredients for up to 40 days. The salt draws out the meat’s moisture, yielding a firmer, more flavorful finished product. The hams are sometimes smoked but always aged. In fact, it can take up to a full year to produce the flavor and texture of a genuine country ham. These hams are sold whole or sliced, in center slices, biscuit slices or even breakfast ham slices.

They also have cooked, uncooked and peppered versions of their city ham. A city ham is boneless and has the salt and curing ingredients injected directly into the meat. This results in a much quicker curing process, about 24 hours, but it also results in a much milder flavor. Most of the hams found in local supermarkets are city hams. This is also available sliced, half and whole.

Ham is Only the Half of It!

Are your customers looking for the finest cuts of bacon, the best summer sausages and magnificent cheddar cheeses? Meacham Ham offers a wide variety of additional gourmet options beyond their ham products. From candies and desserts such as delicious bourbon barrel cake, Pecan Pie, Woodford Reserve Bourbon Balls and Milk Chocolate Salted Caramels to honey and jams, there are no bad choices!

Keeping It in the Family

The Meacham family has been curing hams for more than 5 generations.  They still use the same recipe to cure their hams that William Meacham, grandfather to manager Amanda Meacham Coy, received from his own grandmother! Talk about years of experience! And they’ve been selling those hams to others for more than 80 years now. If that’s not a proven track record of quality and reliability, I don’t know what is. There’s no doubt that a Meacham ham will be a quality ham.

The gourmet foods you carry have to be the best available. That’s what you get with Meacham Ham!

Spike It With A Cactus Margarita!

Cactus Margarita Label Design
They say everything is bigger in Texas and that certainly goes for the taste of Cactus Margarita! Here is a company that makes a drink mixer you won’t find anywhere else. With flavor guaranteed to please, your customers will delight in finding this item in your store.

 Step Into The Prickly Pear Saloon

The prickly pear cactus grows everywhere in the Southwest and Mexico. Cactus Margarita drink mixers differ from all the others because the main ingredient is cactus juice from the fruit of the wicked prickly pear cactus – called “tunas” in Spanish.

Ripe for the harvest in late summer and early fall, the unique flavor of prickly pears has been compared to that of a kiwi and make for a novel and exciting drink.

Gourmet Drink Mixers
Beth Zies, owner and creator of the the fondly named Prickly Pear Saloon, has been delivering whimsically-labeled Cactus Margarita Mixes to gourmet shops for the restaurant and lounge market since 1998. Zies pronounces, “Beyond the informational art of the label, this is just a heck of a good tasting margarita.”

Drink Mixers With A Kick

Your customers won’t be able to get enough of unique flavors offered by Cactus Margarita. The company’s namesake original flavor is a must have but Cactus Daiquiri and Cactus Sour are options too good to pass up. There is nothing like serving up a new drink that everyone loves!

With each variety offering flavors not found elsewhere and fun eye-catching labels, this is a gourmet item you’ll need to double up on. Not only are customers going to want to try each flavor but these mixers make excellent gifts. Perfect for the holiday season.

Trust us, you are going to want some Texas style for your shop this season and Cactus Margarita can ship anywhere – delivering new taste and excellent customer service to boot!
