COCKTAILS

ONCE RECEIVED, HOW LONG WILL MY COCKTAILS LAST?

All of our cocktails have a shelf life of at least 3 months. 

DO I NEED TO REFRIGERATE MY COCKTAILS?

We highly recommend refrigeration of cocktails. Quality and longevity of cocktails improve greatly with refrigeration. We recommend when consuming to have the cocktails as cold as possible.

ONCE OPENED, SHOULD THEY BE CONSUMED IMMEDIATELY?

All cocktails should be consumed within 3 days of opening. Please refrigerate after opening.

DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL EQUIPMENT?

We've taken all of the hard work out for you, so all you have to do is refrigerate, pour over ice and garnish. If you notice some sediment at the bottom of the bottle, just turn it upside down to mix it back through - this can happen over time when the liquids separate.

CAN I RECYCLE THE BOTTLES?

If you are within our local delivery zone, we can collect any used bottles from you when we deliver your next order to you. Alternatively, you can drop used bottles to Jane Doe Bar, 219 Chapel St, Prahran 3181 - please email orders@smallbatchbars.com.au to confirm a time to do so. All glass bottles and aluminium lids can be recycled through your council recycling bins.

PROOF OF AGE

This is so we can ensure no alcohol is in the possession of minors.
