Laiba, a Shanghai-based artisanal bottled cocktail brand, has launched a range of premium ready-to-drink cocktail products crafted by award-winning mixologist Michael Chen. With the new line, the brand sets out to achieve the goal of offering consumers bottled cocktails that are the same quality as those served at the world's best bars.
The line includes a range of classic cocktails such as its Earl's Old Fashioned, Cold Brew Martini, and Twisted Negroni; however, a definite standout is the brand's Bloody Mary. According to the company, a focus while making the bottled Bloody Mary was capturing the tomato-backed umami of the iconic breakfast beverage. As a result, Laiba's Bloody Mary comes with an all-natural ingredient list, including vodka, tomato juice, ruby port, and hot sauce, which combine to deliver a salty, savory, and spicy drinking experience.
