Heads + Tails, the London bar recognised in both the ‘UK’s Top 50 Cocktail Bars’ and ‘The World’s Top 500 Bars’, will launch a collection of nine premium small batch cocktails later on 20th October across three categories; ‘Fun & Fruity’, ‘Contemporary Classics’ and ‘Serious & Stirred’.
The cocktails are designed for both commercial and consumer markets with availability in two formats a large single serve measure (10cl rrp £7.99) and a larger bottle serving six (50cl rrp £34.99) with each expression offering a striking individual design that captures the personality of the bar and the cocktail it contains.
In addition there are two 50cl bottle (£64.99) and three 50cl bottle (£84.99) packs created via customer selection with the larger 50cl bottles packaged in a bespoke outer box adding value as a statement gifting option ideal for retail.
“We have always been proud of being recognised for making some of the world’s best drinks so making them available beyond our bar was the logical yet challenging next step. With the help of our gifted and experienced bar team we’ve created an extensive and varied range of well-known classics and creative twists. We’re proud to say that these have the same exceptional quality of our in-house cocktails and we’re excited that our drinks are now available wherever our customer happens to be” says Chris Dennis, Director, Heads + Tails.
“The pandemic accelerated the natural step for our Heads + Tails, and while this was a project born from the effects of COVID with EU & US markets expected to be worth £7.1bn and £6bn respectively by 2026, we are grateful we used our time wisely and are very proud of the RTD range we have produced.” Will Partridge, Director, Heads + Tails.
