Cocktail Shaker Boys from The Midlands

 

Cocktail Shaker Boys is a small, friendly team of Mixologists based in Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire.  The business was set up over 15 years ago by Andrew and Steve. They are both from a business background, with years of experience in customer facing roles.

 

In late 2024, Andrew and Steve decided to take a step back, having built the business into the respected, and valued, experience provider that it is to this day. Duncan, who has been with us since he was 21 (which was now apparently quite a while ago!) took over the business, and its day to day running. The team is completed with Tom and James, who have both joined us post-Covid, as cocktail parties have seen a real resurgence!

 

Cocktail Shaker Boys helps our customers have fun with their guests, their favourite people. And yeah sure, we have fun too of course!

 

Liquid alchemists at large

 

Our mixology skills spread to spending time in the apothecary developing new cocktails. We love a little liquid alchemy! So our customers can be introduced to great new cocktails, alongside the classics and popular modern favourites. Perhaps we can introduce you to your next favourite cocktail!

 

Since taking some time back for himself, our founder Andrew has found more time to explore liqueur collecting, creating fantastic, fresh new cocktails, and sharing his experience on his blog. If you want to know more about our mixology and find new ideas. Check it Out Here!

 

Creators of incredible cocktails in your home

 

The idea of the business is simple; bringing the cocktails to the party. Usually if you want cocktails you have to go out for them. But with the Cocktail Shaker Boys you don’t have to. We bring everything to you : all the ingredients, the glassware, and then there’s us of course with a little je ne sais quoi!

 

 

Duncan

Our Head Mixologist, and Business Owner.

Duncan was the first mixologist taken on by Andrew and Steve when the business started becoming successful. Apparently that was over 15 years ago, but it has flown by for all of them.

In late 2024, upon learning that Andrew and Steve wanted to explore other avenues, Duncan enquired about purchasing, and taking over, Cocktail Shaker Boys, and the rest, they say, is history!

Duncan also has a grown-up job: He is a train driver and before that a firefighter.

Nevertheless, he is an experienced bartender and bar manager, having served as a head barman at one of Northamptonshire’s premier wedding venues in his early 20s. He likes being busy and his interests include music, sport, and trips to the theatre.

Tom

Tom was our first new recruit as things became busy after lockdown eased. He’s worked at a bar, but serving cocktails was a new adventure for him – one he has taken to like a duck to water (or is it Vodka?).

He has a number of other jobs – which include being a DJ. By day he works in a secondary school managing the I.T. department. So his interests feature music heavily of course, and cars.

James

James is our most recent addition, but brings with him a lifetime of varied experience. He has recently made the leap from his successful career as a global logistics manager to pursue his true passion—cooking and, in particular, dinner parties. These go hand in hand with quality cocktails and, as such, a fascination with mixology was born.

James’ own company, Uncovered Events, offers a unique combination of gourmet dining and interactive entertainment, bringing unforgettable experiences to both private and corporate events. Check it out here.

 

Our Founders

Andrew Seaward

Our OG head mixologist set the business up having been a keen collector of spirits and liqueurs for over 30 years.

Already a published author in his “grown up” job, Andrew has recently completed a new book, which explores the journey of turning a hobby into a successful business, inspired by his own journey with Cocktail Shaker Boys. You can find Andrew’s book here.

He loves a little mixology, working on new cocktails, and deconstructing old classics, all of which he shares on his blog, which is a fantastic read for mixologists and enthusiasts alike.

He’s also keen on sport and music and runs a consultancy business too.

Steve Loxton

The other founding member of the Cocktail Shaker Boys. He worked for a while in a pub a long, long time ago, and always valued the face-to-face, friendly, proposition that CSB offered. Since leaving the business, he has time to explore his other loves; travel, singing, and a good drop of limoncello!
