The MyCocktailer Story

The Cocktailer Story

I enjoy a delicious cocktail but don’t like making them.  Too much effort. I searched for the solution. I wanted to just pour one cocktail in the evening at home. I also wanted to make a batch for parties so I spent time with my guests, not time mixing drinks.  Premixed cocktails just don’t taste good. I wanted variety and I didn’t want to look up recipes and try to remember what recipe I liked. 

I searched for recipe marked bottles.  I couldn’t find any. 

I hand painted the bottles myself, using my favorite recipes.  I did not want to take the time to hand paint the bottles unless I loved the recipe.  I taste tested many recipes until I found the ones that were bottle-worthy. 

I have been using them regularly since I started hand painting the bottles.  Over the years I have accumulated a large number of cocktail recipes I painted on bottles. Some, I gifted to friends. 

To start MyCockatoo.com, I had three of my favorites screen-printed to make them available to others.
