Cocktail Helper is a specialized 70% ABV spirit created specifically for cocktail preparation. It has a neutral flavor profile with proprietary enhancements for texture and flavor. Unlike vodka or other traditional spirits, it's designed exclusively as an ingredient in carefully crafted cocktails.

While Cocktail Helper has a neutral base like vodka, it's specifically formulated with texture and flavor enhancements to complement cocktail ingredients. At 70% ABV (compared to standard spirits at 40% ABV), you only need half the volume to achieve similar alcoholic concentration in drinks. It's not meant to be consumed as shots or in simple mixed drinks.

Cocktail Helper provides three major benefits:

Cost efficiency: At $40/700ml wholesale, it effectively halves your COGS for the alcoholic portion of cocktails

Enhanced recipe design: Using half the volume creates space for more creative flavor elements

Non-alcoholic integration: Create non-alcoholic versions of cocktails that can be transformed into alcoholic versions with just 30ml of Cocktail Helper

Cocktail Helper is priced at $40 per 700ml bottle LUC

Due to its 70% ABV, you'll typically use half the volume compared to standard spirits (e.g., 30ml instead of 60ml) to achieve similar alcohol concentration in drinks. This creates additional space in your recipes for more flavor elements and creative ingredients.

No. Cocktail Helper is specifically designed as a cocktail ingredient and should never be served as shots or in simple mixed drinks like vodka sodas. Always communicate this clearly to your staff.

You can join our waitlist for venues by completing the form above. We're starting with South Australian venues through a carefully managed allocation system before expanding nationwide through direct sales or through our Distillers Collab Program.

Our allocation system is tiered based on your investment with Storytellers Distillery, or one of your local collab partners. Allocation will be managed in accordance with excise rebate limits. When you make your first purchase from Storytellers Distillery, you'll receive a complimentary bottle of Cocktail Helper for experimentation.

The Distillers Collab Program (DCP) is an initiative that allows participating distillers to produce Cocktail Helper in their own facilities. Storytellers Distillery provides ingredients, branded bottles, and production guidance, while distillers independently manage excise reporting and earn revenue from each bottle produced.

Participating distillers will benefit from:

An additional revenue stream

Utilization of excise rebate allowance

Expanded market presence

Collaborative industry relationships

Your distillery will produce Cocktail Helper in your own facilities

Storytellers Distillery will provide ingredients, branded bottles, and production guidance

Your team will independently manage excise reporting for production - moving stock out of bond as sales are made.

Participating distillers will enter into a formal agreement with Storytellers Distillery that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and revenue arrangements. We'll provide a legal agreement template as part of the onboarding process.

You can complete the expression of interest form for the Distillers Collab Program by clicking register above. We'll review applications and contact qualified distilleries to discuss next steps.

All produced bottles of Cocktail Helper need to be sold through the official channels of the waitlist system. This ensures the proper management of the allocations to customers and maintains accountability for the amount of excise rebate allocated in the collaboration.

Production volumes will vary based on regional demand and your distillery's capacity. We'll work with you to establish appropriate production targets based on the waitlist demand in your region.
