Part of the pleasure of a great cocktail is the ritual of it, the glass sliding across the bar, the drink freshly made and perfectly balanced, and premium bottled cocktails like Duchess' Watermelon Martini provide the same sense of quality and occasion, wherever it happens to be consumed. This fruity, refreshing and ready-to-serve cocktail is prepared with triple carbon-filtered vodka blended with real watermelon, zesty lime juice and sparkling water. Each custom glass bottle serves two cocktails, ideally chilled, poured over ice or in a frosty martini glass for a low-effort yet elevated drinking experience.
Fans of bar-quality cocktails, bottled, can enjoy other vibrant offerings from Dutchess, from the classic Cosmopolitan to Espresso Martinis and other fruity serves like the Lemon Drop, the Strawberry Daiquiri or the lightly sparkling Bellini.
What's Driving This Trend
- Premium Bottled Cocktails
- Convenient, bar-quality pre-mixed drinks formulated with real ingredients signal room for novel branding and formulation strategies that replicate craft cocktail profiles at scale.
