The Cocktail Guy debuts pre-mixed cocktails

Rich Woods has launched Swish Cocktails, a ready-to-drink (RTD), low-and-no classic cocktail range with a twist.

Acclaimed mixologist Rich Woods, better known as The Cocktail Guy, has debuted the range of ‘bar-quality’ pre-mixed and reimagined classic cocktails to ‘play with tradition’.

The brand is aiming to promote an ‘inventive ethos’ through its menu, and bring playfulness and experimentation to timeless recipes.

The team behind Swish Cocktails, led by creator and entrepreneur Elena Breeze, has selected premium, aged spirits for a greater depth of flavour.

The spirits are blended together with 100% natural botanical extracts to perfect the essence of each drink, in order to create ‘intriguing and captivating’ flavours.

Swish’s twists on classic serves are currently available in two ranges; Light (5% ABV) and Virgin (0.0% ABV).

The Light range includes Piña Colada Spritz with made with premium aged rums, clarified pineapple juice and toasted coconut; Key Lime Pie Mojito Fizz made with premium aged rums, fresh garden mint, squeezed lime juice, white chocolate distillate and butter biscuits; and Swish Cocktails’ signature Breakfast Fizz – a fresh and fizzy blend of premium orange vodka with clarified pink grapefruit and orange juices and toast distillate.

The Virgin range has been designed to offer the experience of a bar-quality cocktail without the alcohol, with 0.0% ABV alternatives of the Swish Light range, alongside a Mojito Fizz mixed with alcohol-free spiced rum, fresh garden mint, squeezed lime juice, white chocolate and butter biscuits distillate.

All Swish Cocktails are available in single serve packaging with two sizes on offer; 175ml glass bottles priced at £3.50 (US$4.25) or 125ml aluminium cans priced at £2.75 (US$3.34). They are available to purchase via swishcocktails.com.
