Exclusive Tour at the Knocktail Factory right here in Lakewood, NJ!

All right, guys. We're back with Yosi Twike at another tour at a factory in Lakewood, New Jersey. By the way, y the last video we did few weeks ago at a cocoa bar in Tom River. People love to see behind the scenes and factories how things are being made. So, we got another factory here in Lakewood. You have to tell us exactly where we are. >> That's right. Lakewood is not just about restaurants. We got small businesses all over the place. We are here off Airport Road at the NTails factory. They just moved here. Built a full-fledged factory. Knocktails is a carbonated drink. 5% alcohol. Delicious. Whether you need a kick at the end of the day. Four amazing flavors. They got uh we have apple martini. We have strawberry. We have pinina colada. And we have, I believe, a mango. Orange. >> Orange. Mango. >> And we here at the borrowing factory. Did I mention they have minus texture and the U prime? You want a delicious drink at the end of the day? Not with high fructose chloria. No, cane sugar. >> Really? >> So, it's a little bit better for you. >> Also, I assume they have like maybe from some of the real fruit. >> They do have real fruit in them. I saw. And again, we're here in the factory. We'll show you a little bit about how the cans are being made, how they're being canned, and we love to show you behind the scenes. So, thanks to Brian for coming down. So, it all starts over here. This big tank. We take all of our secret ingredients, the natural flavors, the cane sugar, and we mix each flavor in this tank. By the way, this tank holds about 25,000 cans. That's right. We take this tank, we flavor it, and then we move it over to the other side of the room. See, each of these tanks also holds 25,000 cans. Now, what this does is it takes it down to a really cold level, almost above freezing. You're going to ask me, Elsie, why do we do that? Very simple. You want to add that carbonation. You want to add these things here, carbon dioxide. When the cold the beverage is very cold, the carbon dioxide sticks to it. So when it gets canned right over here, the minute or sorry, not the minute, the second that it gets canned, a drop will escape. But because it's such a frigid temperature, everything will stay in there. So when you pop that can and you hear that, that's what we're talking about. It's so happening over here at the Nocttails factory behind me. Now, don't get scared. This is carbon dioxide, not carbon monoxide. Not those things that you have to have the special beers in your house. This is a CO2, which means it's adding that gas. It's adding those bubbles. You know, when you add a sim and you open that cell and it spills all over the place, that's what this has. So, everything's cold over there. We add the gas and we put it down to the canning machine, which we'll show you in just a minute. As we're finishing canning a flavor here of apple martinis. So, after we have our cold mixture with the carbonation, we come here next door to the warehouse, which is split up in half. Half we have already bottled going out. And then we have these empty cans which are stacked here. So we're going to take a pallet of empty cans from here as you see all the flavors. We're going to go next door into the bottling plant. We're going to start bottling. Then we'll put them back onto a pallet completely sealed and ready to hit the stores. Brian, before we go next door, in case you think we're not ready for all those people running to the stores after they see this video, look on top of me. We have pallets upon pallets of empty cans ready to be filled. That's besides the other pallets that we have that already filled that are going out. Did I mention this is being distributed by Royal Wine? So, you know, Fry, any store that's selling wine or liquor in the tri-state area and outside across the world will have their fill of knocks on the shelf. >> Listen, y is coming. You know, season is coming. You want something sweet. You can't have sour stuff. You can't eat nuts. Get yourself some knocktails. >> Okay. Up front, as you can see, we have our pallet here from next door. Everything's already sterilized and clean. We're loading them into the machine. And as you see, the machine kind of rotates them. You come around this side. I can show you how the liquid's getting added. As the cans are being put onto the conveyor, you'll see that the conveyor takes them around this machine, which has 12 different apparatuses that can fill it with the drink that we are adding. Today, we are doing apple martini. If you look over there where the injections, you'll see that white thing will go up. It means the can is going up and being injected with this flavor. So this machine can fill 10 12 cans of frying within a matter of probably about 15 seconds. So here go empty over here. You'll see the can gets lifted up over there. And then when it when it's done, it comes you see the cans getting lowered back into here. The conveyor belt over here trying to see there's the lid machine. So this is where the lids are. This machine that's spinning takes that lid, it spins and does two different jobs. One, it pushes it down. Two, it curls the can the lid underneath the can like you see when you get it in the store. And as you see, it's very wet over here because as it comes through the machine that puts the lid on, it gets some water on it to clean it off. And as you go down the conveyor belt, you'll see there's like a little fan that's making the water go off and everything to make sure that it's a very clean and precise operation. This machine, as you see, it'll pick up the can. As it's picking it up around the corner, it's injecting it with our mixture. As you can see here, every can gets a little bit of like a car wash in order to clean it. Make sure that it's ready for consumption, making sure that it's getting a little bit of a washing, going through the machinery, making sure that there's no juice cleaning to it, so the can's not going to be sticky when you find it in the store. And as you move down the conveyor belt, you see they have this little blower over here which is kind of drying the can and making sure that whatever liquid remains on top of the can is getting distributed and not sitting on the can. So when you get in your store, it's nice and clean and has no liquid on it. So Brian, as you see, we have human hands here, too. We have human people making sure that each can is the way it needs to be. They'll look at it, make sure if anything's not the way it's supposed to be. Maybe there's a lid that got discolored in the process. Taking out everything, making sure that the product you're going to receive at home is the most top quality product that they're going to put their name on, the Knocktail's name. From there, it's pretty simple. Take four cans, put them in a box, put that box in another box, and then this box will put on a pallet, and that pallet will get shipped out to your local store. After our run is complete and you have all your 16 cans, those boxes, those boxes get sealed, put here onto this pallet. This is today's run. Yesterday's run, we got four flavors all ready to go out to the stores to be in your fridge. Before I am now, every factory has a tasting and testing room. And after visiting the factory, we are now here in the testing and tasting room. Again, we're talking abouttails. You asked me about the o and I don't know if you could zoom in on there. It's right there. Now, F, you're going to ask me, okay, you'll see alcohol. So, what Braha is this? Very simple. They're made with vodka, which means they're going to be Shahakaco drinks. Okay. Again, just 5% alcohol. I don't usually taste test on camera for you for him. [laughter] I know I'm not going to get you on camera. So, we have all four flavors. I'll taste >> that noise. That noise. The crack. >> Okay. The >> vicious cult. >> So, this one is called orange mango. I've never tried this combination before, so I'm not sure what to expect. Fran wants >> Oh man. >> Wow. So, this is very bright. Naturally, they're all going to be sweet as they're cocktails. This is very bright. You have a little citrus from the orange, but again, that mango flavor is really coming through. I've never tried this combination before, so I didn't know what it would be like. I like it. F. I like it. And I here I thought I only like the strawberry. I'm getting like a little bit of a perfume from it. It's very interesting. And as you see that we served it with a little bit of live fruit, fresh fruit. This is the way they they are meant to be served. By the way, fry. You need a glass of ice. This is supposed to be poured over ice. Don't just think you can keep in the fridge and drop >> sushi over here that comes together with sushi. >> Sushi and and drinks go well together. You know, pretend you're a milk restaurant. Pretend you're in liquid or fry. Okay. So, next we're moving on to strawberry daquiri. Now, I am a strawberry Strawberry. What? >> Strawberry daiquiri. Daiquiri is a kind of drink. >> Like a martini is a kind of drink. It's a mixed drink that you're going to get at a restaurant. Solid beverage. Got a little lime in here to make it a little bit >> a little bit fer. Don't have to make a broth again. >> So I expected this to be overly powering sweet. It's not. You are getting that strawberry undercurren flavor. The thing I like and I only tried two flavors here. Not very heavy on the on the alcohol. You know, some drinks you get alcoholic beverages, a lot of vodka. I'm not a vodka guy. I actually like tequila, but this actually is really, really good. >> If you like more vodka, you could add in vodka. But this >> you could add more to it. 100%. >> One second. I see in the picture that has like a lime in it. Does it have lime in it or just for the like combination? >> The strawberry. No, I think it's just there to give you a little bit of there. But it says made with 100% real fruit. They kind of concentrate it down like we said. They have that cane sugar in it. You know, everyone looks for that cane sugar, that Coca-Cola and Pesa. That's what we're talking about here. Okay, fine. >> By the way, give it another two, three years. I think that you're going to they're going to ban all this. Not banan, but I don't think going to see that much of >> the corn syrup. High fuka. Yeah, I agree with you. >> Yeah, you see the advertisements all the candies, all the drinks. No corn syrup. No. It's like with the trans fat. No trans fat. >> There you go. Okay. Apple martini. Again, martini is a kind of drink of prime. Got that crack from the can. Okay. Now, when you see apples, usually they come different shapes and colors. You have yellow, you have red, you have green. So, this is a green apple, which is usually a soury apple, but realistically, this is going to be a sweet drink, so it's not going to be that sour. Let's try it. You know how you bite into that green apple the first time, you have that juice dripping down? I'm getting a little bit of that flavor. The ice is definitely helping, but it's not like a wall up in your face. It's not like, "Oh my gosh, this is so sour." No, it's not like that. This is again made to be a sweet drink for the end of the day. You want to wind down 5% alcohol. I like red apples better than green, but I actually like this drink and I'm going to give it five stars. Okay, last flavor. I am going to start this off by saying I'm not a fan of pin colada. No, >> I am not. I like pineapple. I do not go for coconuts at all. >> Okay, so don't try it. Okay, >> but fry them for you. I already made a bra. It's not broken, right? Okay. Oh, there we go. The crack from the can. Okay. And you see they they knew I didn't like it, so they put some pineapple in my in in my glass already. >> So, if you like pin colada, which a lot of people do. When you smell it, you could already smell that cocon flavor. Some people say, "Oh, cocon like uh I don't know, like the the stuff you put on to protect yourself from suntan lotion." So, let's try it. I'm not a fan. I already smell the coconut. I'm already like, "Oh, okay. We're going to do it. Not bad. You know why? >> I'll tell you what it is. The flavor is not walloping me. It's a big thing. Some drinks or food you're going to get and you get like a really hit in the face with the flavor. Over here, it's the underlying current. So, that p that um what am I talking about? Coconut. The coconut flavor is not smacking me in the face. And that pineapple flavor is coming through. I think with the fresh pineapple, it's definitely giving me a little bit more of something that would like a frying. Four amazing flavors distributed by our friends Aedm. That's right. So, this is going to be in every store that you are looking for. Referon is coming up. You want something sweet, doesn't have to be apple or honey. You can get a sweet drink, little bit of alcohol. Definitely make the day go through. And for those of you that are still using your pools, I mean, let's be honest, summer got a late start. You can have something like this in the pool, relax the end of a day. We have >> This is only in like in the liquor stores or you can find >> this is since it's alcoholic beverage, you can't go into a regular grocery store. It is only available in liquor stores. I should mention the factory you saw next door can do private runs, too. So, if you want to do your own can of your own product, whatever it's going to be, you can speak to them here. Not only that, I was informed of Fry. You saw that big area that was empty between the can and where the the pallets were. They're going to be installing in the next little while a bottling plant as well. So, they'll be able to do cans and bottles right here at Nocttail. >> Can we do the fet drink? >> Maybe we can. Is it going to have to be that ginger ale that you make the red natural? Is it GOING TO BE >> WOW. The piser ginger ale. >> Piser ginger. >> I think board of the restaurant. >> We add some cane sugar to it. I'd probably >> I think take it back from colam. >> Take it back from Colamada. Okay. F. I can't wait to see you at the next factory tour. >> Guys, if you have a factory in Leur anywhere close by, reach out to me and let's do a beautiful tour because people love to see that and it gives you a big shout out to your company and big uh Yeli, what do you say about that? >> I think that when I see this on the on the on the shelf at a store, I'm not necessarily going to know what goes into it. But if I see a factory tour, I'm more invested in the product. I see how it's made. I see how it tastes. I see how it comes together. I'm like, "Hey, that looks really interesting." I always walk by it. Let's stop by and actually try it for once. >> Thank you so much. >> My pleasure.
