I’m the owner, founder and bartender of Good Spirits. After spending the last 15 years working in cocktail bars in Dublin, Sydney, Melbourne and London, I settled here in Auckland.
Hi, i’m dave
I wanted to bring the high end hospitality experience that I've been accustomed to direct to customers here in New Zealand with a mobile service.
Our approach is, we're serious about cocktails and even more serious about having fun. We've been through the good, the bad and the ugly, figured out what works, sprinkled a little magic on it and created Good Spirits.
Our team are passionate about making cocktails, flavour experimentation, garnish aesthetics and making sure everyone has a great time, that's the ethos. We make the drinks, you enjoy yourself. Simple. We hire the best, so you have the best time.
After 7 years running my cocktail catering business, I am so thrilled to expand beyond the bar with our new ready-to-drink bottled cocktail range. We have taken the same care and precision we bring to every event and poured it into each bottle so you can enjoy something exceptional wherever you are. With so many pre-mixed drinks on the market, we saw a clear gap for something better. Something made by people who actually work behind the bar, who understand what makes a truly great drink. We’ve worked hard behind the scenes, perfecting the recipes with our food scientists and mapping out the branding with our design team.
Our collection captures the complexity of the cocktail bar experience - without requiring time, tools or expertise. I truly hope you love them 🖤
Cheers, see you at the bar.

_________________
As we use fresh lychee and lime juice in our Lychee Martini and Chilli Marg some sediments may be visible from time to time. It is filtered in the distillery but a small amount can make it through. Using freshly squeezed juices makes an undeniable difference in the overall flavour profile of the drink as opposed to using artificial sweeteners and flavourings. All you need to do is give it the bottle a quick twirl and you'll be ready to go. Read this link about why using freshly squeezed juices guarantees the best drinking experience for you.

Chill - Store your bottles in the fridge after opening
