4. Develop one of the concepts into a fully-fledged cocktail recipe
5. Fill out the form and complete your cocktail & bartender information submission
While we do have quite a few restrictions on what we can put in a box (because the box is a certain size and will be in transit for 3 days without refrigeration), there are still lots of things that can go in our boxes! Here’s a short list of possibilities, definitely not complete but hopefully will spur your imagination. If you’re curious about anything, please ask!
If you want samples of anything at all, please ask and we’ll get them for you. There are specific companies that we’ve already connected with (and in some cases worked with) as well—please take a look, you might find some interesting stuff.
We ship boxes over 2–3 days via USPS and boxes are a set size, so the three things to really look out for are perishability, size, and durability. Anything that’s too mushable, too large, or that wouldn’t be able to travel unrefrigerated and then sit in someone’s fridge for at least two weeks would have to be removed from a recipe and replaced with something else. Below are examples:

1 1/2 oz cold brew
