Thank you very much for taking an interest in our Electric Cocktails crowdfunding efforts! This idea was really born out of two different strands, the first one being to keep our sanity. Our bar has been closed for over a year now, and it's been tough to keep motivated and to keep match fit.
Being closed has given us the time to have a lot of fun coming up with new cocktail menus and bringing new innovation to it, but at the same time we have nobody to share these cocktails with, and that in our opinion is the most rewarding part. It looks like we are going to have another summer of garden parties and sitting at home so we said look, we have come up with these cool recipes, we can't wait to share them with you so lets plough ahead with it.
The other reason, to be honest is probably less exciting but equally important to us, it looks like we are going to miss out on our peak season in Electric. We are really lucky to be next to a really nice park and summer is a really great time for us. Unfortunately, this summer it doesn’t look like we will be serving you cocktails in the park so the next best thing that we can do is create bottled, delicious cocktails and deliver them to you this way. A little piece of the Electric experience to take home!
So the reason that we are raising money is to enable us to do this properly, we practiced at Christmas and were really proud of our efforts but we felt with glass bottles and proper labels, new recipes and new equipment, we could up our game and deliver something really unique. We want to give you delicious cocktails that you can sip wherever you are, until we can welcome you through our doors again with very open arms!
The cocktails range in everything from our take on the modern classic Pornstar Martini, so we are calling it Pornstar Punch, right through to Peanut Butter Jelly, a PBJ Old Fashioned which is something very different. We have a great team in our expert mixologists, Carl and Trafford and no better people to come up with twists and innovations in the cocktail space. We are super excited to share them with you. Hopefully you'll buy one of our new cocktails through the platform and we are excited to see what you think! Thank you for your support.
