MIXED Creative Cocktails

Crafted for home bartenders, modern hosts, and unforgettable gatherings

MIXED Creative Cocktails is a modern lifestyle brand built for the next generation of social entertaining. Through beautifully designed books, intuitive web and mobile experiences, and a curated retail platform, MIXED transforms professional cocktail culture into approachable, elevated experiences anyone can enjoy.

What begins as a recipe quickly evolves into something larger: an interactive ecosystem for cocktails, hosting, gifting, and gathering designed to inspire memorable experiences at home.

The opportunity is significant. MIXED enters a $12B+ home culinary education market at a time when home entertaining has shifted from a passing trend into an everyday lifestyle. Consumers are increasingly seeking fresh, experience-driven ways to connect with friends and family, and MIXED fills that gap through expertly curated, occasion-based content that blends education, design, personalization, and commerce into one cohesive brand experience.
