The Art of the Ready-Made Cocktail: Why Pre-Batched is the Future of Drinking

Let’s be honest—even the most enthusiastic home bartender has botched a cocktail or two. You start off with good intentions, maybe even a little flair. Then suddenly you’re Googling ratios, rummaging for a lemon you definitely don’t have, and trying to remember if you’re meant to shake or stir.

But what if you could skip all that and jump straight to the best bit: the sipping?

That’s the beauty of the ready-made cocktail. There’s still craft involved—it’s just been done for you, properly. With Letterbox Cocktails, it’s not about cutting corners. It’s about cutting out the chaos.

Each bottle is a blend of premium spirits and precision mixing, designed by people who actually know what they’re doing. There’s no guesswork, no dodgy pours, and no "this’ll do" moments. Just reliably brilliant cocktails, every single time.

And then there’s the waste. Or rather, the lack of it. No sad, half-used bottles of obscure liqueur. No sticky syrups growing things at the back of your fridge. No squeeze of citrus followed by a guilty binning of the rest. With pre-batched cocktails, you use what you need and that’s that. It's neater, cleaner, and a whole lot kinder to the planet.

It’s no surprise they’re trending. You’ll see them behind the bar at smart venues, on trays at weddings, even at pop-ups and festivals. Why? Because they work. They save time, reduce waste, and still deliver a great drink. Now that same thinking is making its way into our homes—and rightly so.

Pre-batched doesn’t mean basic. It means more time for conversation, less time hunched over a jigger. It means pouring a perfect Negroni or a punchy Margarita without once consulting a recipe. It means elevating your evenings with zero stress.
