Meet the Bengals’ New Partner Mixicles

CINCINNATI — With NFL preseason kicking off, fans are eager to return to the stadiums. This season at Paycor Stadium, there’s exciting news for a local business!

Jen Morales, founder of Mixicles, is thrilled to announce her company is now a proud partner of the Cincinnati Bengals. “This is huge for us,” Morales said. “We’re gaining exposure and awareness, which is so important for a new brand.”

Mixicles just won the “Earn Your Stripes” contest, a competition aimed at promoting minority-owned businesses. “It’s more than we ever dreamed of,” Morales expressed with excitement.

This contest is in its second year and is a collaboration between the Bengals and Paycor. The Bengals noted, “We support the entrepreneurial spirit and hard work of local businesses, and Mixicles really impressed us with their passion and innovation.”

Morales, who is a first-generation Puerto Rican, wants everyone to know about Mixicles, which are botanically infused ice cubes perfect for making cocktails and mocktails. “You can use them for any drink!” she said.

The idea for Mixicles came to Morales and her business partner about five years ago during a party planning session. “I thought, why not make these easy ice cubes for gatherings?”

As she continues to grow her skills in mixology, Morales is excited about the future. “Getting our name out there has been the toughest part, and winning this contest is just what we needed.”

Morales is proud to keep her business local. “I want to grow Mixicles from Cincinnati to beyond. It’s really important to connect with our roots, especially with the Bengals and Paycor backing us up.”
