Black Lines launches ready-to-serve bottled cocktail range

Pre-batched cocktail producer Black Lines has released a range of bottled signature serves to open up the "craft cocktail" market.

The East London producer has a core range of pre-batched cocktails including negroni, gin and tonic, mojito and Aperol spritz and has partnered with independent British distillers and artists to create its drinks and packaging.

Its new 750ml bottles, styled like sparkling wine bottles, will house Black Lines' signature serves - Elderflower Collins, Pear and White Tea Fizz and the tequila-based Paloma - and simply need ice and garnish added to serve.

Casey Sorenson, co-founder of Black Lines, said: "I believe consumers are looking for exceptional quality of liquid alongside the same freedom that beer and wine drinkers have enjoyed for decades. That's the challenge our ready-to-serve range is overcoming."

Fellow founder Kuleen Khimasia added: "We are exited to bring the craft cocktail experience into new environments, with no compromise on quality. Diverse, social and versatile by nature, these bottles are built to suit a wide range of scenarios."

The range will be available at a number of venues and bottle shops and to trade from Kicking Horse from March 2020, with the Black Lines online shop due to launch soon after.
