Meet the team.

Ken Empey

Founder/Owner

With an Arts Degree from Rochester Institute of Technology, I find myself looking for solutions to common problems. As an outdoors man and someone who likes to tailgate with friends and family, I ran into the problem of constantly bring bags of supplies and a cooler of ice to mix up a cocktail to every party. The solution was the Cocktail Gator, an easy soft sided cooler that holds your bottle, provides ice in sealed container with a spring-loaded sleeve for your cups. To top it off, it's a manageable weight and has a front pocket so you can bring straws and other things you might need for the fun!

Ben Empey

Marketing & Sales / Co-Owner

With over 10 years of experience in Sales and Marketing, I could see my father's vision with Cocktail Gator and couldn't wait to jump in and help out with building his brand. Cocktail Gator was a creative idea that I could see being used for so many occasions and not only tailgating. I truly have one of the best careers, working with my dad on spreading the word of a product that brings good times to so many people.
