There’s no denying it—cocktails have become a huge part of modern drinking culture. From after-work Espresso Martinis to celebratory Pornstar Martinis, cocktails bring a touch of glamour to any occasion. But making them at home? That’s another story. Shakers, syrups, spirits, and precise measurements aren’t for everyone. That’s where ready to drink cocktails come in, and why they’re taking over the drinks scene across the UK.

What Are Ready to Drink Cocktails?

Ready to drink cocktails, often called RTDs, are pre-mixed, bar-quality serves designed for convenience. Instead of playing mixologist at home, you get cocktails that are perfectly blended, portioned, and sealed for freshness. Just chill, pour, and sip.

At Giraffe Cocktails, our ready to drink cocktails are handcrafted by mixologists who know how to balance flavour and presentation. From the smooth notes of an Espresso Martini to the tropical burst of a Pornstar Martini, we’ve bottled the bar experience for you.

Why Everyone’s Talking About Ready to Drink Cocktails

1. Convenience is King

We live in a world where convenience matters. Whether it’s ordering food delivery, streaming films, or shopping online, people want quality without the hassle. Ready to drink cocktails fit perfectly into this lifestyle—you don’t need a bar cart or specialist tools, just a fridge and a glass.

2. Consistency You Can Count On

We’ve all been there: you try to make a cocktail at home, but it never tastes quite the same as it does in a bar. With ready to drink cocktails, every pour is consistent. The balance of spirits, mixers, and flavours is spot-on, every single time.

3. Perfect for Every Occasion

Ready to drink cocktails shine in almost any setting:

• House parties – impress friends without spending all night behind the bar.

• Date nights – serve up a Pornstar Martini with prosecco for instant romance.

• Picnics & BBQs – portable and easy to carry, they’re a summer essential.

• Quiet nights in – when you just want a quality drink without the fuss.

The Giraffe Cocktails Touch

Not all ready to drink cocktails are created equal. Supermarket options often cut corners with cheap spirits and artificial flavours. At Giraffe Cocktails, we take a different approach:

• Premium spirits form the backbone of every drink.

• Fresh, natural ingredients deliver authentic flavour.

• Handcrafted recipes by expert mixologists ensure the perfect balance.

• Stylish, eco-friendly packaging means they look as good as they taste.

Our customers don’t just drink cocktails—they experience them.

How to Serve Ready to Drink Cocktails Like a Pro

Even though they’re designed for convenience, there are a few simple ways to elevate your ready to drink cocktails:

1. Chill them first – cold drinks always taste better.

2. Use the right glassware – a martini glass or coupe makes all the difference.

3. Add a garnish – passionfruit, coffee beans, or citrus slices make cocktails feel bar-worthy.

4. Pair them smartly – serve with prosecco, sparkling water, or snacks to complete the moment.
