ABOUT CURATIONS

Cocktail Curations produces beautifully crafted cocktail bars for private and corporate events. With a combined mastery in mixology, culinary arts, spirits, and events experiences, the founders of Cocktail Curations take pride in elevating services with thoughtfully curated beverages. We provide a wide range of knowledge and services, including technical education and training in spirits, mixology, and recipe creation; developing cocktail menus; designing thoughtfully garnished ; and curating mind-blowing cocktails with or without alcohol.

SUSTAINABILITY

Cocktail Curations strives to be a sustainable zero- waste company. We use fruits and vegetables pith to peel, juicing fresh fruits to create our mixes, using the pith to make our bitters, and utilizing the peel to create our beautiful Botanical Waters. Our edible garnishes are used first to enhance the cocktails beyond taste by heightening the sense of sight and smell. The unused products from our events have a second life to create other amazing products like our tonics and botanical waters. Our set-up for events is focused on sustainability, reusing containers and avoiding plastic as much as possible. We believe that taking care of the earth should be ingrained in everything a company does, working toward keeping our home beautiful for future generations.
