Inspired by the legend of TK Mulligan, the father of second chances, Mulligan breathes new life into golf’s classic cocktails. Using only the highest quality ingredients, these ready-to-sip drinks will have you raising a toast to new beginnings on the course and beyond.
THE LEGEND OF TK
Mulligan
Born in Donegal, a picturesque town in Northwest Ireland, Thomas Kane "TK" Mulligan arrived in this world with a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous spirit. The youngest of six brothers, TK learned to play by his own rules from an early age. His uncanny ability to find opportunity in the most unlikely of places and come out on top, no matter the scoreboard, inspired those around him.
​
In 1936, TK and three lifelong friends were playing the Corrie Golf Club on the northeast coastline of the Isle of Arran. This nine-hole course, founded in 1892, is home to some of Scotlands's most stunning views. On the fifth hole, a Par 3 named Mount Pleasant, TK sent his tee shot well to the right of the green and far short of his intention due to the wind. Without hesitation, TK laid down a second ball. When his friends asked what he was doing, TK confidently responded, “Taking a corrective shot!”
Just like that, TK drove his second ball to the front of the green. His friends howled in disbelief, and at that moment, the “Mulligan” was born.

Founders
THE
TK Mulligan Craft Vodka Cocktails were born in our kitchen in Raleigh, North Carolina. When developing the brand, our goal was simple: to create a craft version of a canned cocktail using only authentic ingredients—no artificial sugars or flavors. We often invited friends over to taste-test our recipes, and around our kitchen island, we connected. Through stories and a good dose of laughter, our flavors were born. We strive to make the most refreshing, delicious drinks while keeping nutritional values in mind (under 140 calories per drink and 8g or less of sugar).
After launching with our original flavors, The Crush and The Transfusion, in April 2024, we’re thrilled to introduce two new flavors—The Dogwood and The Wedge—along with a variety pack called "The Caddie Pack" in March 2025. The Dogwood is a cranberry-lemonade cocktail with a touch of grenadine, offering a perfectly balanced, refreshing taste without being overly sweet. For fans of The Crush, we’ve created The Wedge, which mirrors the original but swaps out orange juice for lemonade—again, delivering the same level of balanced refreshment.
Our mission is clear: to craft the highest-quality, refreshing drinks on the market, with just the right amount of sweetness. At 5% ABV, our cocktails are perfect for enjoying on the patio, at the beach, drifting down the river, at the tailgate, lounging by the pool, or, of course, on the golf course.
Here’s to second chances and the lucky breaks along the way. Thomas Kane ‘TK’ Mulligan championed the spirit of the "do-over," and in a world where cancel culture prevails, we find him as refreshing as the drinks that carry his name.

Cheers,
Mark and Jenn
