In the heart of the Twin Cities, Jeff Roslund, founder and CEO of Dapper Barons Spirits, is redefining the way we enjoy cocktails.
Based in Eagan, Minnesota, this innovative spirits company has been creating buzz with its commitment to delivering exceptional flavor while eliminating excess sugar—a game-changer for health-conscious cocktail enthusiasts.
Dapper Barons Spirits was born during the 2020 pandemic, when Jeff Roslund decided to merge his passion for craft cocktails with his dedication to a low-sugar lifestyle.
Inspired by the elegance of Prohibition-era barons and the idea of making healthier choices accessible to everyone, the brand aims to offer cocktails that are not just delicious but also guilt-free.
“We want to change the paradigm of how people think about liquors and cocktails,” says Jeff.
With classic flavors and a zero-sugar profile, Dapper Barons Spirits provides a premium alternative for those looking to enjoy their favorite drinks without compromising their health.
Using innovative natural sweeteners that mimic sugar’s taste and texture without spiking glucose levels, the company’s products cater to a growing audience of health-conscious consumers.
In just three years since its debut in late 2021, Dapper Barons Spirits has garnered accolades for both quality and innovation.
The company has been recognized by prestigious organizations, including being a finalist in the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States Innovation Showcase and a semifinalist in the 2024 Minnesota Cup entrepreneurial challenge.
These awards underscore the brand’s commitment to creating top-notch spirits that don’t compromise on taste or ingredients.
A cornerstone of the brand’s success has been the supportive local community.
Jeff highlights the strong sense of camaraderie among Twin Cities distilleries and breweries, which played a crucial role in Dapper Barons’ early days.
“I called some distilleries and asked questions, and everyone was really open. Their support was invaluable,” Jeff recalls.
Dapper Barons also prioritizes giving back, frequently participating in nonprofit fundraising events. The company donates products and offers free tastings at events to support various charitable causes.
Dapper Barons Spirits appeals to a diverse audience, though its most loyal fans are health-conscious women over 40 who appreciate premium products.
With its innovative nutritional profile and premium pricing, the brand resonates with affluent individuals seeking high-quality options that align with their lifestyles.
The journey from idea to shelves has been one of determination and growth.
“Seeing our product on a liquor store shelf for the first time was an unforgettable moment,” Jeff shares.
Looking ahead, the company is focused on expanding its reach, both within Minnesota and beyond. With a strong foundation and a clear vision, Dapper Barons Spirits is poised to become a household name in the world of craft cocktails.
Whether you’re a cocktail aficionado or simply looking for a healthier way to enjoy your favorite drinks, Dapper Barons Spirits offers a delicious solution. Elevate your cocktail game with Dapper Barons—all the flavor, without all the sugar.
