Everything a serious barreaches for.

Eight shelves, chosen one maker at a time, and the five classics they come together in. Names are shared with trade partners first, under confidence, as each agreement is signed.

The Collection In formation

Every shelf below is forming now.

  1. No. 01

    Bitters & tinctures

    Aromatic, citrus and botanical bitters from small houses that still macerate by hand.

  2. No. 02

    Syrups & cordials

    Cane, orgeat, falernum and fruit cordials made with real ingredients and a pastry chef's patience.

  3. No. 03

    Tonics & mixers

    Fine carbonation and honest sweetness, built to lift what is poured beside them rather than bury it.

  4. No. 04

    Bar tools & glass

    Jiggers, spoons, shakers and glassware from workshops that make the tools professionals keep for life.

  5. No. 05

    Garnish & botanicals

    Dehydrated citrus, cocktail cherries, olives and edible flowers, shelf-stable enough to survive the crossing and the heat.

  6. No. 06

    Vermouths & aperitifs

    The modifiers a menu turns on: fortified wines, drinking vinegars and bitter aperitivi, kept cool from cellar to back bar.

  7. No. 07

    Salts, sugars & rimmers

    Flake and smoked salts, demerara and spiced sugars. Small things a guest notices on the first sip.

  8. No. 08

    Bar consumables

    Picks, straws, coasters and napkins of a quality that matches the drink, supplied steadily so service never runs short.

The Method
01

Selection

We meet the maker, try the range behind a working bar, and agree terms directly. Nothing enters the book on a broker's word alone.

02

Carriage

Temperature-controlled freight, insured and tracked, with customs and duty managed under one roof.

03

Keeping

Climate-stable storage on New Providence. Stock rests in the right conditions until the day it is called for.

04

Placement

Delivered with the story intact: provenance, serving guidance, and the reason it belongs on your back bar.
