Based in the Philadelphia suburbs, Trinity Flavors is a woman-owned company run by Kathleen Pires, who’s entrepreneurial ties run deep.

In the year 2000, her late uncle Mark Dowey was sitting in a country club with two friends when one of them ordered an Arnold Palmer, the half-lemonade, half-iced tea drink made famous by the golfing legend. Up until that point, Mr. Palmer had not capitalized on the popularity of his namesake beverage. Knowing this, Mark and his friends drew up a marketing plan on a napkin and presented it to Palmer’s agents at IMG. They were soon granted the rights for Arnold Palmer tea, found a partner in Arizona Tea and the rest is history.

Fast forward to 2017 and after working for more than 15 years in the ingredients industry with Mark, Kathleen was thinking about how many times she had enjoyed the Transfusion Cocktail at her local country club, Rivercrest Golf Club. “Wouldn’t it be great if we could get a transfusion in a can?” Inspired by her uncle, it is with that same entrepreneurial spirit and confidence that Trinity Flavors began. The latest creation, Vodka Lemonade is currently being introduced to golf clubs along with the Classic Transfusion and Iced Irish Coffee. There are more exciting flavors to come in 2022!
