A real cocktail in a bottle (one without a malt base, neon coloring, excess sugar and artificial flavoring) did not exist in 2013. Trailblazing Chicago bar owner and restauranteur Matt Lindner, and Global Bartending Champion Charles Joly, saw a need from their guests and came up with a solution using their expertise. Hard work and research exposed the truth that it was possible to bottle the very same from- scratch cocktails that Joly was accustomed to creating at the bar, using identical all-natural ingredients and high-quality small-batch craft spirits. They created classic cocktails using their favorite variety of ingredients and spirits from some of the best distilleries, just as Joly would do for his attendees at famed events across the world. They maintained their uncompromised requirement of crafting classic cocktails their way — a single batch at a time, attending to every detail, no matter how small. In the end, they succeeded in producing what has become the Crafthouse Cocktails lineup: a meticulously crafted collection of balanced cocktails, rivaling those of even the most respected craft cocktail bars.

Today Crafthouse Cocktails are enjoyed wherever authentic, flat-out delicious craft cocktails are desired: around the BBQ, at home, at a tailgate or concert venue; even on Virgin Voyage cruise lines, AMTRAK trains, at Vail Resorts and in national hotel chains. Try one and you will see why, when discerning drinkers want a real craft cocktail, they open a Crafthouse Cocktail.
