We are a proudly family owned and operated Irish business located next to the mighty Blackwater River & just on the southern tip of the majestic Knockmealdown Mountain range in West Waterford, Ireland.
Our production philosophy of maximizing quality ingredients includes roasting our coffee fresh in-house for our espresso martini and Irish cream espresso martini, using an abundance of strawberries in producing our own strawberry liqueur (which we use to produce our strawberry daiquiri), and making our own passion fruit purée and passion fruit liqueur for our pornstar martini.
Each of these crafted ingredients gives our cocktails their particular body and flavour profile which cannot be replicated by any competitor, no matter their size or skills level.
Espresso Martini
Why not order our espresso martini online today? It will be delivered to your doorstep. Order espresso martini online
It all begins with great roasted coffee. Sourcing quality green coffee beans and roasting them to perfection is the start to making a great tasting espresso martini.
Our coffees are sourced from Africa, the original home to all coffees in the world (and the McLaughlin family).
Our coffees are selected and roasted specifically to give our espresso martini great body, a natural sweetness and strong chocolate notes.
Then we pass the coffee onto Sean to do his magic blending and balancing the espresso and nitro with a 3-year-old aged rum, Madagascan vanilla and a few other ingredients to give us the very best espresso martini we can offer you.
Strawberry Daiquiri
Why not order a couple bottes of strawberry daiquiri online today? They’ll be delivered to your doorstep.
Anyone whose made a strawberry daiquiri using fresh strawberries knows the pain and rewards. On the one hand there’s separation, seeds, sorrow and a great big mess.
But, on the other hand, if successful, the taste of the strawberry daiquiri will be
glorious and distinctly different from those made choosing the easier route of using commercial strawberry syrups or purees.
Blended and balanced by Sean with a 3-year-old aged rum and other quality ingredients, we present to you the very best strawberry daiquiri we can produce.
Made using real strawberries.
Mojito
Try a couple bottles of Mojito today. Order online & have it delivered to your doorstep.
It’s simple. And it’s great. No need to complicate things with this wonderfully refreshing cocktail. Made with only 3 main ingredients (rum, lime and mint) the trick is in the quality of the ingredients used and having the right balance between each of them.
We use our 3-year-old aged rum as the base for our Mojito. After blending with lime, some mint extract (we make it so that fresh mint needs to be added to the glass) and water, the Mojito is then infused with CO2 over a few days. This process carbonates the Mojito.
So fill your tall glass with either cubed or crushed ice and fresh mint, Then pour from the tap or bottle. It’s as simple as that. Enjoy.
Pornstar Martini

Without a doubt, the most popular cocktail since 2020. When we first started producing Pornstar martini, we were using commercial passion fruit
puree and passion fruit liqueur.
When COVID hit, these ingredients were unavailable. At that stage, we were all ready researching producing these ingredients inhouse.
After extensive research and trials we first developed our own Passion fruit puree and then our own Passion fruit liqueur using actual passion fruit.
The challenge faced now is securing a regular and economically viable source of pure passion fruit.
Events
Cocktails are great for events and weddings. Having premium quality cocktails on-tap means they are served quickly and efficiently increasing customer satisfaction and decreasing staff stress.
There are other benefits to using this source for cocktails.
Firstly, there is the issue of sourcing ingredients. For any range of cocktails served at an event, there is a multitude of ingredients needed. Each one needs to be ordered n the necessary quantity and storage requirements need to be followed very carefully to avoid spoilage.
Secondly, consistency. This is another challenge when serving cocktails at any event or wedding. Especially when the pressure is on to serve, unless the bar staff are well trained and experienced, consistency of the cocktails will be the first casualty of the event.
Without the option of serving premium quality cocktails on-tap, both service levels and consistency of quality will be impacted.
Make one call to us and your cocktails are covered. Kegerators are supplied,
commissioned and collected after the event. Cocktails are selected with the organisers and made fresh to order.
Production
Our production philosophy is to create premium quality cocktails using natural, fresh local and in-house ingredients wherever available. Each cocktail is made from different ingredients, requires different gases during infusion and the time taken for that infusion also varies significantly.
There is also the challenge of producing a cocktail with the characteristic that make the cocktail so distinct.
The best example is this is the ability of espresso martini to form a great head when poured from the tap.
Below is a picture of our latest cocktail: An Irish Cream Espresso Martini. Poured straight from the stout tap.
However, we continue to grow and learn. There’s still so many great ingredients out there and so many cocktail yet to keg.
It’s a journey, never-ending and most enjoyable.
Scaling this up to reach higher capacity levels has been the challenge we confronted over the past 4 years. Sometimes we’ve been successful. Other times (not often) we’ve been beaten. And then it is back to the drawing
board.
Every order is made fresh. Fresh ingredients. Fresh cocktails.
Kegs
From our coffee roasting and nitro coffee origins, it was a natural progression to making kegs of espresso martini. Infusing gas into a cocktail takes place after all the ingredients have been carefully measured and thoroughly mixed.
Over the years, we have developed our knowledge and skills to produce kegs of Pornstar Martini, Strawberry Daiquiri, Mojito, Sex-on-the-beach and
Gin-and-tonic.
Our present capacity ranges from 5 to 10 pallets a week. Each pallet holds 33 x 30 litre kegs which, if serving a 120ml (4 shot) cocktail, equates to 8,250 cocktails per week or 35,000 cocktails a month
Bottles
Our range of 770ml bottles includes Pornstar Martini, Strawberry Daiquiri,
and Mojito.
Each bottle is filled under pressure, However, for best results in serving these cocktails from the bottle, our serving suggestions are highly
recommended.
In order to form a head on either the Pornstar Martini or Espresso Martini, pour a glass-fill of the cocktail into a cocktail shaker (which is filled with ice), shake thoroughly and pour back into the glass.
A coup glass of around 200-230ml is recommended for both these cocktails.
Garnish the Espresso Martini with a few roasted beans atop the head formed on the cocktail.
Ideally, for the Pornstar Martini, place a slice of passion fruit atop the cocktail (as shown below).
Our Mojito is pre-infused. Do not shake. Fill a tall glass with ice, preferably crushed, add fresh mint and pour the Mojito from the bottle.
The Strawberry Daiquiri is ready from the bottle. Just fill the tall glass with ice, preferably crushed, and pour from the bottle. Add a sliced strawberry to the side of the tall glass.
