Speciality Drinks partners with leading bars on cocktail kits

On-trade wholesaler Speciality Drinks and retailer The Whisky Exchange have collaborated with bars (including Artesian and Coupette) to create cocktail kits for home delivery.

Rules in London has created a cocktail kit with Speciality Drinks

Speciality Drinks has created the cocktail kits with London haunts Rules, Sabor, Coupette, Artesian, Liquorette, The Four Sisters, The Blue Bar at The Berkeley and Trailer Happiness, as well as Cardiff’s Pennyroyal.

The cocktail kits were made to help bars take their drinks directly to the consumer. The kits will allow cocktail lovers to support their favourite venues, while “adding a semblance of normality to life in lockdown”.

Each kit includes all of the bottled ingredients needed to make the drink, and a recipe to create each serve can be found on The Whisky Exchange website. Selected cocktails will require minimal fresh ingredients so that they can be made without the need to leave the house.

Each package is available to purchase from thewhiskyexchange.com, with proceeds from the sale of each kit split between Speciality Drinks and the bar that put forward the recipe.

Cocktail sets will initially range from £47.95-£97.95 (US$59-US$120), with further price points added as more venues sign up.
