Many of our enquiries these days come from customers who have seen us on Instagram.
What we do is highly visual and mostly we provide cocktails in client’s homes. So we understand that it’s good to get a feel for what we do by looking at pictures.
Cocktail Shaker Boys – how it works
We come along to your home and make you and your invited guests cocktails for a couple of hours to a pre-set menu that we’ve agreed with you in advance. We will happily make suggestions for a balanced menu. You may LOVE gin but if your cocktail menu is all gin-based cocktails, it won’t necessarily work for everyone will it? So we make suggestions and you can add your own thoughts. Clearly if you have a particular favourite and want to include it, we’ll ensure that it’s on there! Our blueprint is for a menu selection of 5 cocktails and 2 non-alcoholic options for drivers, younger party go-ers and those who aren’t / can’t drink alcohol at the moment.
Have a look at our Instagram feed to see what happens when our clients and their friends get drinking Cocktail Shaker Boys cocktails. We are honoured to have so many great testimonials too. You can view testimonials here.
What else might you see on our Instagram feed?
From time to time we might be mucking about in the apothecary creating new cocktails or perhaps trying one or 2 that we’ve read about. This is a great part of the fun of mixology. Combining ingredients which we think will pair well and creating new cocktails. Many of these find their way onto our cocktail menus. Have a look at our menu ideas here. Sandbar anyone? This is our reworked version of the classic Pina Colada. So it has the same flavour profile : golden rum, coconut in the form of Malibu and pineapple juice. So the consistency is quite different to the aforementioned Pina Colada bit it is based around the same idea. And then there is our Rhubarb Martini and our Lavender Martini. Always popular when they appear on our menus. Who knows? We could introduce you to your new favourite cocktail. It’s happened before!
We’re always on the look out for the next great cocktail. Sometimes our head mixologist will deconstruct a classic cocktail in an attempt to better it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But that’s all part of the fun. Other times we simply make up one that we find online.
Mostly though on our Instagram feed you’ll just see pictures of happy, smiley people with cocktails in hand. Which is our raison d’etre. Making people happy by mixing, muddling, shaking and stirring cocktails.
