Our Story

Born underground. Made to move.

The Genesis

From the Dance Floors of
Amsterdam.

The year was 1999. Electronic music was exploding across Europe, and the super-clubs of the Netherlands were packing thousands of revelers into sweltering warehouses. Hank Sweep, a leading music festival promoter in the Dutch scene, watched the crowd and saw a glaring inefficiency.

Bartenders were bogged down making labor-intensive, time-consuming drinks. The crowd was hot, thirsty, and demanding refreshing cocktails. Existing "frozen" solutions were weak, sugary, and melted into a mess within minutes. Above all, they required massive, commercial ice making machines that venues couldn't support.

Hank partnered with local university chemists for the formulations and engineers for the sachet to solve a complex chemical equation: How do you freeze alcohol into a solid, perfectly textured state with consistency and scale. At the time, no one had ever imagined it in a way that works at scale and without highly specialized industrial freezing systems.

Origin Background
The Industry Flaw

Frozen cocktails are broken.

1

The Meltdown

Blender slushees separate immediately. The alcohol sinks, the watery ice floats, resulting in an inconsistent ABV and a ruined flavor profile.

2

The Efficiency Killer

Loud blenders ruin venue ambiance and drastically slow down bartender service times. Making a frozen drink manually takes 3x longer than pulling a beer.

3

The Cold Chain Trap

Competitors require freezer trucks, massive cold storage warehouses, and limited retail placement inside commercial freezers. It limits scale entirely.

We fixed it.

1

Precisely Formulated Strength

Exactly measured. Consistently crafted. Every sachet delivers a bold, full-flavor cocktail experience.

2

Effortless Enjoyment

Zero prep required. Freeze, tear the top, and push. It takes a bartender 3 seconds to hand a customer a premium cocktail.

3

Scalable Logistics

Shelf-stable at room temperature. We ship globally without the need for freezer trucks, dramatically reducing costs and expanding our reach.

4

Sustainable Packaging

Our sachet uses approximately 90% less plastic than the heavy, rigid single-serve cups typically sold alongside other ready-to-drink options.
