What’s the story behind Tip Top?
We believe good stuff should be accessible.
In our previous lives, we were music industry veterans behind some of the largest festivals in the country. Along the way, we saw the demand for quality cocktails growing, but the careful preparation required to make one made service in high volume environments pretty difficult. We fantasized about creating a world-class cocktail in an easy-to-serve vessel, thinking maybe we could help solve a problem for venues, events, restaurants, bars, airplanes, and regular folks at home on the couch. Eventually, we stopped fantasizing and started actually doing it.
Enlisting the help of our favorite bartender and James Beard finalist, Miles Macquarrie of Kimball House, we developed classic cocktail recipes and packaged them up to drink at any time and, just about, any place. Tip Top Proper Cocktails are always within reach, especially if a trusted bartender or fully-stocked bar are not.
How did you come up with your recipes?
We focus on classic cocktail recipes that we develop with our favorite bartender and James Beard finalist, Miles Macquarrie (Kimball House). The result is quality beverages that are always balanced, never too sweet, imminently portable and loyal to the way you would be served at the bar.
Will there be more cocktails added to your lineup?
Yes. The ideas don’t stop. Stay tuned for our next batch coming soon.
Does one can contain a full cocktail?
Yes. Each can is a single serving. These are high proof, non-carbonated cocktails that are fully prepared. Just pour over ice or drink cold, straight from the can. You’ll quickly see that this is on par with the strength, size and quality taste you’d hope for from a well-equipped bar.

Why is signature required for shipments?
By federal law, only individuals of 21 years and older are allowed to buy alcoholic beverages. Because the product is shipped or delivered, the carriers must make sure that the purchaser as well as the recipient, on his/her behalf, is 21 years and older. If no signature can be collected, the carrier will leave a notice for a second or third attempt or further shipping instructions. After that, the shipment will be returned to the sender at cost to the customer.
