We had the good fortune of connecting with Rawleigh Williams III & Lexi Cosgrove and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rawleigh Williams III & Lexi Cosgrove, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
When creating sip Torne., we wanted to solve the need for the perfect at home or on-the-go espresso martini. We strived to create the perfect blend of espresso, vodka, and smoothness to appease the tastebuds of every espresso martini lover. Our goal was to create an RTD (ready to drink) that was perfect for ALL occasions, whether it be a pregame boost or lavish celebration. We believe sip Torne. fits into each persons lifestyle seamlessly.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
sip Torne. is a canned ready-to-drink espresso martini that boasts a bold and invigorating flavor profile featuring the rich combination of premium espresso and vodka, accentuated by a subtle touch of vanilla and brown sugar. It is canned in a 12oz slim can, 120 calories per serving, 10% abv, and contains a double shot of espresso per can. sip Torne. is also nitro-infused for extra smoothness and a perfect foam layer when shaken. We believe all of these things are what sets us apart from any competition. We are a newly engaged couple that ends all date nights with an espresso martini, so needless to say we have tried most espresso martinis in the DFW area.

We founded sip Torne. as we are both avid espresso martini drinkers, and we knew that we could bring the BEST version of a canned espresso martini to the market.
This was definitely not easy to get to the position that we are in today, with Rawleigh being an NFL agent, and Lexi having a demanding position in Digital Marketing we really had to lock-in and make the time to bring this dream to life. We learned that while there will be many road bumps, you just have to keep moving through them.
We want the world to know that sip Torne. was made for you, it was made to inspire moments of opulence (luxuriousness) and felicity (intense happiness) no matter where you are.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We would eat at Dakota’s Steak House, Hudson House, and Bread Winners Brunch! We would visit the Farmers Market, eataly, cinepolis for a movie, pickle ball at Samuell Grand Tennis Center. Drinks at Leela’s, or Chelsea Corner.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We want to shoutout to our families, the Williams’ and the Cosgrove’s, for their constant support, encouragement, and countless formula taste trials.
