Wise Bartender

I was pleased to find that the instructions for the kit were set out clearly and in good order, which I did not expect. My husband and I made the drinks on Saturday evening and they came out well. The little cards are easy to follow even for someone who has never shaken a cocktail. We shall order again.

I bought the single bottle of their spiced rum for a family get together. The flavour is pleasant and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Unfortunately the seal on the bottle was not intact when it arrived, and I had to arrange a replacement through their customer contact form. It was sorted in the end, though it was a bit of a palaver.

Needed a present for my dad who likes his drinks, so I looked at a few options before settling on this. The gift box was a good choice, all the bottles were full and the card explained each one. Checkout was simple and it arrived in time for his birthday. He has already asked where to get more.

I purchased a gift set of their non-alcoholic spirit mixers for my son's wedding preparations. The product itself is quite pleasant and the flavours are well judged. Unfortunately the delivery was delayed by almost a week, and I had to contact them twice before I got a reply. I would have liked a little more communication.

Needed something for the cupboard when we ran out of mixers before a family visit, and I know the bitters well from years behind a bar. The aromatic bitters are good but the price is quite high for the size, and I would expect a little more for that. The tonic is lovely though. Delivery took three days, which felt slow for a small order.

Been a customer since they started and the mixers are still consistent. Slightly pricier than I would like but I stick with them. Last order took an extra day to arrive, nothing major.

Been ordering from them for a good few years now and I'd still say they're worth it. The tonic and ginger syrup have stayed the same quality, which is what I want. Once a delivery was a day late and the site didn't tell me until the morning, which was a bit irritating. Otherwise no complaints at all.

The bitters are the first thing I noticed, the orange bitters have proper depth and not that sugary cheap taste. I've worked bars for years and I rate the syrups too, they mix clean and don't overpower a drink. Packaging was tidy and the bottles arrived in good nick. Will be reordering.

Ordered the classic negroni kit as a first timer and it turned up with everything measured out already, which was a relief because I had no idea what I was doing. Followed the card step by step and the drinks actually tasted like the ones in a proper bar. Got a bit of ice everywhere but nothing broke. Would order again for a dinner party next month, the instructions were clear enough even for me.

Needed something for the flat warming, we had people coming round and I didnt want to buy loads of bottles. The mixer pack was a good shout, tasted nice and mixed easily. Price is a bit steep compared to Tesco but its not awful. Delivery was next day which was quick.

Compared it to going out for cocktails with friends and the maths works out in favour of the kit. For about the price of two drinks in town we got enough for four people, and the bottles were all full with no leaks. Ordering took a few minutes and the kit turned up two days later in a sturdy box. The only real downside is you wash all the glasses yourself afterwards. Worth it for a night in.

Compared it to the big name tonic brands and this is cleaner on the palate. Tasted the difference straight away in a gin and tonic. Quick to order and it arrived fine.

Most useful bit of my week, the cocktail kits are genuinely easy and the taste is spot on. I bought my first box expecting something gimmicky and it was properly good. Everything needed was in the kit and the card was clear with photos. Would happily send one as a gift.

I compared their syrups with what the local off licence stocks and I prefer these, the flavour is cleaner and less sweet. The price is a little higher than the big supermarkets, but the quality justifies it in my view. The order was dispatched promptly and arrived well packed. Nothing I would change, I am content with the purchase.

Needed something for my mate's birthday and didnt fancy the big night out. This cocktail kit was dead easy to make and everyone loved it. Only thing is the delivery slot was a bit vague so I had to wait in all afternoon. Still good though.

Compared it to the supermarket cocktail sets and this is miles better. The tonic is actually fizzy and the lime cordial tastes of real lime not chemicals. Ordered Thursday night on my phone in the car park at work, checkout took about a minute. Box arrived Saturday in good condition. Happy with it, will be ordering again for Friday drinks.

The cocktail kit for four worked out cheaper than buying the same bits from the shop, and the measures were right. I got two drinks out of it with a bit left over for the next weekend. Ordering took about five minutes and the confirmation came straight away. Good value for a Friday night in.

Used to work in hospitality so I know my bitters, and these are decent but not the best I've tried. The price is on the higher side for what you get. Delivery took nearly a week and I had to chase it once. Still usable for home cocktails.

Honestly the tonic kit is spot on, tastes miles better than the stuff from the shop. Ordered Tuesday arrived Thursday, no fuss at all. Will be getting more for my mates.
