Who we are
“During the pandemic when drinking became home-bound, 3 friends and cocktail lovers realised that RTD cocktails sucked. Unlike in a real bar where cocktails are known for unique and interesting flavours, supermarket aisles are lined with dozens of brands all making the same 6 flavours. It made no sense; a special drink that's most known for innovation has NONE happening on the shelf, so we decided to do something about it”.
