Cocktail Making Kits
A cocktail making kit is only as good as what comes with it. Cheap tools and a bottle of something unmemorable is not a gift. It is a collection of items in a box.
The barware here is selected for the same reason we selected every ingredient in Expedition Spiced Rum: because it has to work. Cocktail shakers, strainers, jiggers, mixing glasses. Tools that do their job properly and last.
Pair them with Expedition Spiced Rum, pot-distilled in the UK with real spices and no artificial flavourings. Everything needed to make a proper drink at home. A Rum Old Fashioned. A proper sour. The Field Manual has the recipes.
Good cocktails do not require talent. They require the right equipment and a spirit worth using. Both are here.
What Separates a Cocktail Kit from a Collection of Items in a Box
A Spirit Worth Building From
Expedition Spiced Rum is pot-distilled at our British partner distillery. Real spices, no artificial flavourings. A rum worth using as the foundation of any cocktail.
Tools That Actually Work
Stainless steel shaker. Accurate jigger. Selected because they do the job, not because they photograph well in a box.
The Recipes Are Here
The Field Manual covers everything. Rum Old Fashioned. Rum Sour. Proper cocktails, written clearly, for people who want to make them right.
Most cocktail making kits are assembled by procurement teams, not bartenders. You can tell. Generic shaker, a bottle of something unmemorable, padded out with items that serve no purpose. The result is a gift that communicates effort without demonstrating taste.
The kits here pair Expedition Spiced Rum with barware we actually use. A stainless steel shaker that seals properly. A jigger that measures accurately. Everything selected because it does its job, paired with a rum built the same way.
The Field Manual has the cocktail recipes. The rum and the tools are here. Everything else is practice.
Veteran-Owned
Founded by two Royal Corps of Signals veterans. Bootstrapped, no investors, no shortcuts. The same standards we applied to kit that had to work.
