FAQs

We're a small independent company run by two best friends with a passion for good times and sharing great cocktails.

After visiting plenty of the world's greatest cocktail bars over the last decade, we knew we wanted to experience that same quality of beautifully crafted, world-class cocktails in our own homes and with the minimum of fuss.

So we teamed up with our great friend and international award-winning barman - as pretty much all of the best cocktails we've ever had the pleasure to drink, were mixed by his magic hands!

He was the senior bartender at the infamous Savoy Hotel's Beaufort Bar, as well as the bar manager at Kenny Atkinson's Michelin starred House of Tides restaurant... so it's fair to say he knows a few things about making a great drink.

We thought it was about time we bottled that magic for you to enjoy at home!

We only use the finest ingredients in our drinks with no nasty sweeteners or flavourings.

That's what makes us different. We make our cocktails weekly, so that you get Kocktails when they are at their finest. Other pre-made cocktail brands focus on mass production and long shelf life. Often sitting there for months (or years) before you get them. That compromises the quality. It's why bottled cocktails are often considered to be not as good as what you would get in a bar. Ours are, because we focus on fresh and quality ingredients.

All of our drinks are designed by our Kocktail Curator and former senior bartender at the Savoy. We simply take his recipes, and make them as you would in one of the best bars in the world, just on a bigger scale and bottle them.

However you want! We prefer to store ours in the fridge so they're chilled and ready to serve. Once opened we recommend storing them in the fridge.

The beauty of Kocktail is that you don't need any additional ingredients (a few ice cubes and a splash of soda water here and there is about it!)

Each Kocktail will come with serving instructions either on a serve card or on the back of the label. The majority of our Kocktails require a quick shake with ice and then strained into a glass. Others just simply need served over ice and a few require a splash of soda water to lengthen the drink.

Our Bottled Cocktails have a shelf life of 12 months from production.

Our Kocktail Collections range from a shelf life of 3 - 12 months from production.

See each product page for more info on shelf life.
