Cocktail Mix Experience

HAPPY COCKTAIL (MOCKTAIL) DAY!

We can't wait for you to enjoy your Bar From Afar cocktails (mocktails). Before you start creating your tasty beverages we have a few things to mention.

*We have included a small red solo cup to be used as your measure.  The line near the bottom is the measure for .5 oz.  The cup full is 2 oz.  Anytime you are measuring less than 2 oz, we recommend using the measure of .5 oz to the cumulative total required for your drink.

** We recommend opening the packages using scissors.  Please cut above the reseal line.  Once open, if resealing to use some at a later point, we recommend keeping the package upright and sealed until using again.

***PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE THE POUCHES HAVE BEEN OPEN, THEY SHOULD BE REFRIGERATED AND CONSUMED WITHIN 2 WEEKS.

*****Our pouches are recyclable.
