Words: Shamim de Brún
Craft Cocktails by BAR 1661 have released four limited edition love-themed cocktails in time for Valentine’s day.
The ‘Be Mine’, ‘Grá mo Chroí’, ‘True Love’, and ‘Kiss Me Quick’ are strictly limited romantic takes on classic cocktails. Each 200ml bottle contains two serves and costs 12.50 euro.
You can also personalise your love cocktail with a love letter. Their ‘message on a bottle’ service offers customers the opportunity to profess feelings to a lover, a crush, a best friend, or anyone they’d like. The personalised label is designed, printed, and shipped on the cocktail of choice within a week.
Customers can order this Valentine’s range from their website by Wednesday, 9 February, for nationwide delivery. Customers in Dublin can also click and collect seven days a week from the brand’s cocktail factory on Cuckoo Lane. In addition, they will be open to the public throughout Valentine’s weekend from 12:00- 18:00.
Craft Cocktails are hand mixed and bottled in Dublin using premium spirits, natural ingredients, and serious bartender know-how. Available in two sizes, the 200ml bottle and the 700ml bottle, which serves seven for 35 euro.
Launched in Dublin in October 2020 their core range has 11 classic flavours and limited editions throughout the year. They’re ready to serve straight from the bottle but are best served chilled, shaken and poured over ice.
