Summer Kocktails: The perfect serve
Born in a Kitchen. Raised Behind the Bar.
Kocktail shook into life in the summer of 2020, when best mates Andrew Hutchinson and Emil Evans-Stickland decided to recreate the magic of a great bar — without leaving their kitchen.
What began as a lockdown experiment has grown into one of the UK’s fastest-rising drinks brands, now stocked in John Lewis, Fenwick, and over 200 top-tier independents nationwide.
Every Kocktail is crafted in small batches using premium spirits and top-shelf ingredients, with recipes designed in collaboration with a former senior bartender from The Savoy’s iconic Beaufort Bar. The result? Bar-quality classics that pour straight from the bottle — no shaking required.
Meet the New Cosmopolitan
Their latest creation is a bold reimagining of the 1980s icon: a bright, blush pink blend of citron vodka, Cointreau, cranberry, and lime. It’s fresh, it’s nostalgic, and it’s unapologetically stylish — best served over ice (and maybe in heels).
“We’re beyond excited to bring the Cosmo into our lineup,” says Kocktail co-founder Andrew Hutchinson.
“It’s a timeless drink with serious New York roots — first shaken up at The Odeon in Lower Manhattan, a legendary haunt of the city’s art and fashion scene. We’ve kept the soul of the original and given it a few subtle tweaks to make it sing in 2025.”
