Exceptional Cocktails
We believe that life should be a journey of continual improvement with imagination & creativity as the catalyst.
In our commercial kitchen & lab in Hertfordshire, we create delicious and imaginative products – crafted to sit at the heart of simple, inventive, best-selling cocktails that can be prepared quickly and consistently, yielding solid gross profit margins.
We work closely with bar operators, event and festival bar companies – anyone with aspirations to sell remarkable cocktails.
Our products increase speed of serve without taking too much away from the theatre of cocktail preparation. They are ideally suited to busy, high volume bars or anyone looking to create, or increase cocktail revenue.
