Which cocktails are in the range?

Our current range includes: Bramble; Cosmopolitan, Devon Stormy, Espresso Martini, Mai Tai, Margarita, Mojito, Negroni, Old Fashioned Passion Fruit Martini, Raspberry Daquiri and our own creation Seabird

How big are the bottles?

We have four different bottle sizes. 

Our 'Cabin Serve' bottle is 10cl and contains one single serving.

Our 'Captain's Serve' bottle is 20cl and contains two servings (or one generous measure for a thirsty Captain)

Our 'Sailor's Serve' bottle is 50cl and contains 5 servings.

And our 'Crew Serve' bottle is 1L and contains 10 servings.

How do I know what’s in each cocktail?

Each bottle label shows the cocktail name then a list of the main ingredients below it. The full list of ingredients can be found under the product listing on our website.

Do I need to mix them when they arrive?

No. Our cocktails are all pre-mixed so you just need to chill them in the fridge then ‘shake awake’ when you’re ready to pour.

What is the shelf life of each cocktail?

There is no shelf life on our cocktails due to the alcohol content, however once opened we recommend they are refridgerated and consumed within 3-4 weeks.  

The liquid has bits in it, is this ok?

Our cocktails are made with fresh ingredients. The ones containing citrus can separate over time but this is totally expected and you just need to shake the bottle to mix it together again before serving.

How much is delivery?

Delivery is FREE for any order over £25.  Orders under £25 incur a delivery fee of £3.95

How will my order be delivered?

Orders are delivered using Royal Mail or DHL depending on the box size.

The bottles are packaged safely and securely in protective wrapping and secure cardboard boxes all of which is environmentally friendly.
