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.

Read moreOrdered 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.
Read moreI 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.
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.
