Auckland’s Clipper Bar has new captains, and they’re ready to introduce you to the First Class Cocktails Bottle Shop & Bar. Innovative owners of the venture are aspiring to revolutionize the 'at-home' drinking market by replacing the standard bottle of wine with a bartender-quality bottled cocktail.
The reopening of the bar and bottle shop will unveil a fresh and enticing instore experience for cocktail enthusiasts from Friday 10 November with a whole shop dedicated to elevating the art of pre-mixology along with their new online store.
Evenings at the bar will remain focused on their cutting-edge cocktail menu. During the day the bottle shop invites visitors to explore an array of expertly crafted bottled cocktails including ‘try before you buy’ tasting flights.
Not only will the First Class bottle shop stock their own range of bottled cocktails, but the carefully curated collection will also include cocktails from some of New Zealand & Australia’s top bars and spirit brands.
The team behind the new vision includes Conor Whale (owner/operator of The Bar Society Ltd) and partner Amanda Smith (Marketing Specialist).
“What sets First Class Cocktails apart is the unwavering dedication to quality and the expert bartenders behind the creations.
"Well-known branded spirits are employed to reinvent classic cocktails with a first- class twist. The commitment extends to experimenting with flavours, delivering friendly and knowledgeable service, and above all, a deep passion for cocktails.” Says Conor Whale – owner/director.
