Vodka Seasonal Instructions

Happy Cocktail Day!


Here are your custom curated cocktails 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.  We have also included a pour spout for use with your vodka bottle.



Please put all ingredients with the exception of dry goods and alcohol in the fridge in order to maintain freshness.


You will also find videos that can help guide you on each cocktail if you prefer at our YouTube Channel – Bar From Afar.
