LifeWorks Instructions

Happy Cocktail Day! 

Here are your custom curated cocktails (mocktails) and instructions on how to build each. We hope you enjoy your Bar From Afar experience. 

A note on measuring your contents. Your kit includes a solo cup. The line near the bottom is the measure for .5 oz. It is easiest to use this multiple times when measuring any ingredient less than 2 oz. The cup full is 2oz. 

Please put all containers, with the exception of your dry goods in the fridge to ensure the fresh contents remain at their best for you to enjoy your cocktails!
