JoJo Fletcher & Mallory Patton , Saint Spritz: The Grassroots Playbook That Got Us Into Target and Walmart

“But at the end of the day, like, you know your business the best. And just as you've proven to yourself so quickly building this business, there's no one who knows your brand and your business better than you do.” JoJo Fletcher and Mallory Patton, co-founders of Saint Spritz, turned an Aperitivo-hour obsession into a fast-growing, better-for-you canned cocktail brand. With zero beverage industry experience but endless creativity and determination, these sisters-in-law built a women-founded, family-run company now found on Target shelves nationwide. In this inspiring conversation, JoJo and Mallory share how a trip to Italy sparked their idea, how they navigated the wild world of beverage compliance and distribution, and why trusting your gut (even over “industry experts”) became their secret weapon. You’ll hear how they built their brand brick by brick—balancing motherhood, partnership, and perfectionism—and how their “departure in every can” philosophy turned into a cult-favorite lifestyle brand.
