Bacardi Announces Its Bottled Cocktail Range “Tails”

Bacardi has announced that it will be extending the availability of its bottled cocktails range “Tails” to the off-trade.

The range, which uses Bacardi’s portfolio of premium brands for the hospitality industry, promises a bar-quality cocktail within 30 seconds.

“Over the last two years, cocktail awareness has boomed as people served up daiquiris, espresso martini cocktails and mojitos to make staying-in feel extra special,” said Evert-Jan Bos, general manager of Tails.

“Now, as the on-trade reopens, consumers are enjoying the experience of being back in the bar and they’re ordering cocktails more than ever before.”

“Tails Cocktails offer both incredible taste and convenience, making it easier than ever for people to enjoy the same flavour and complexity of a cocktail made from scratch, without any effort or expertise. No shopping for ingredients, no measuring, no recipes – just add ice, shake and pour.”

There are five cocktails in the Tails range: the Rum Daiquiri made with Bacardí rum; the Whisky Sour made with Dewar’s Blended Scotch; the Gin Gimlet which uses Bombay Sapphire; the Espresso Martini Cocktail and Passion Fruit Martini Cocktail, both made with 42Below vodka.

“Tails” will be available in April in supermarkets, retailers and online across the UK and Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Australia.  We are waiting to hear about availability in Canada and US.

SOBAR: The World’s 1st Food Designed to Reduce Alcohol Absorption

Recently I attended a virtual Mixology Masterclass hosted by a SOBAR founder, Food Scientist Dr. Joseph Fisher and Mixologist and Bar Above founder, Chris Tunstall.

What I learned was that SOBAR is a unique protein bar and is the world’s first food specifically designed to reduce alcohol absorption.

How it works is that you eat one SOBAR before consuming (at least) two drinks. This will reduce peak alcohol levels and total absorption by 50%! WOW, I was surprised and excited to hear this and see if it works.

While enjoying a delicious Margarita-based on 1800 Silver Tequila, I had a chance to learn about the science behind the unique alco-hold formula, which is the advanced food technology that helps alcohol absorption and much more!

I ate one bar before enjoying 2 Margaritas and found out that I was feeling like I had just one. I can’t say that if I drink 4 cocktails it would help, but with two drinks it worked for me.

SOBAR protein bar won a gold award at the Specialty Food Association’s (SFA) sofi™ competition. Out of 1500 products competing, SOBAR was the first in the Wellness Bar & Gel category as a part of the SFA 2021 sofi™ Awards. The sofi™ Awards competition is open annually to members of the SFA since 1972.

I have huge respect for Dr. Fischer and his phenomenal invention.
Thank you so Chris Tunstall for making it possible to enjoy a great classic cocktail while listening to the science behind SOBAR.

Tell us in the comments, have you ever heard about SOBAR?
