Sustainability in a Glass: Why Packaging Matters in Cocktail Delivery

At Letterbox Cocktails, we care deeply about what goes into your glass. But just as important is how it gets to you. In a world where convenience and quality are no longer enough, sustainability has become a non-negotiable—and rightly so.

Traditional cocktail-making can be surprisingly wasteful. Think about it: half-used bottles of syrup, a mountain of plastic straws, and bits of fruit that get sliced, squeezed, and then binned. It adds up fast. We knew there had to be a better way to enjoy bar-quality drinks without the environmental baggage.

That’s why we’ve designed our packaging to be as thoughtful as the cocktails themselves. Everything we send is made to fit neatly through your letterbox—no excessive wrapping, no unnecessary plastic. Just what you need, and nothing you don’t. It’s fully recyclable, lightweight, and intentionally minimal.

And let’s talk bottles. We use fully-recyclable bottles shaped to feel special, and can be reused or recycled without guilt. From an environmental perspective, it’s a no-brainer. From a taste perspective, it’s simply the right choice.

And when it comes to gifting, pre-batched cocktails offer a green-hearted alternative to flowers or wine. No wrapping, no cellophane, just beautifully boxed drinks that say “I thought of you” without the waste.

So if you’re looking to enjoy your cocktail hour with a clearer conscience, you’re in good hands. Choose drinks that taste good and do good. Explore our range—sustainable sipping starts here.
