Served® Hard Seltzer

Corporate Round in 2023
The UK's go-to premium hard seltzer brand. Find us in Selfridges, Planet Organic, As Nature Intended, Teals, Eat 17 stores as well as some of the UK's leading premium bars, restaurants and hotels. Our journey started as a result of two things. The first being the realisation that the majority of alcoholic drinks on offer to us were full to the brim with cheap, artificial flavours and packed with sugar and calories. The second was our growing determination to find a way to avoid having to choose between a healthy lifestyle and enjoying a drink with friends. So we decided to do something about it and created Served. A delicious, refreshing lower-ABV drink. Made by infusing fresh wonky fruit, with natural spring water and our ultra-pure, four-times distilled, ServedPured™ gluten-free alcohol (we know that’s a mouthful, but it’s worth it). The result? A crisp, light flavour, with a touch of natural sweetness. No sugar, no carbs, no sweeteners, no-nonsense. Pure Flavour. Pure Spirit. Pure in Every Sense.

Double Dutch Drinks

Venture Round in 2023
Double Dutch Drinks is raised in the Netherlands so they have a natural affinity with superlative drinks and excellent blendings. After all, they come from the birthplace of gin! But their romance turned to frustration. While the world’s choice of spirits has continued to grow, mixers and sodas have remained bland … less of a twin, more of a shadow. Double Dutch is the result of their love affair to unite great spirits with complementary mixers that enliven and enhance. Richard Branson has supported the Double Dutch vision by giving us a Foodpreneur award for their innovative Food and Beverage brand. From the world’s best mixologists through to those who prefer their G&T on the sofa at home, they’ve created revolutionary mixers to intensify enjoyment of spirits, or to be drunk solo. Double Dutch is much more than double the taste sensation, it’s a whole new world of soft drinks.
