Innovative new canned cocktail brand MOTH has announced the launch of four classic RTD cocktails into Waitrose & Partners stores from 1 February. Promising to enliven after-work drinks, virtual catch-ups and household nights in as we continue to live through the pandemic, MOTH stands for cocktails, company and conversation, without any snobbery. 

Inspired by good times and late nights, MOTH uses only the best quality ingredients and are ready to go when you are, without any faff.   

Co-founder Rob Wallis commented: “We launched MOTH because we wanted to make bar-quality cocktails that can be served as easily as a can of beer. Very simply, to make the best cocktails in a can. We're picky with provenance and every ingredient is chosen with precision. At the same time - we're not snobbish. We don't talk in master mixologist lingo. We believe in fair prices for great drinks. We are so excited to launch into the Waitrose & Partner stores with our range of cocktails - but we aren't stopping there. We are constantly innovating and can't wait to share more drinks with everyone this year!”

"We are always looking for innovative new spirits and cocktail brands, and we are excited to be the first supermarket to launch MOTH cocktails in the UK,” commented John Vine, Spirits Buyer at Waitrose. “We have seen a huge trend in customers experimenting and trying out new formats and cocktail cans are definitely growing in popularity. The four different cocktails are some of our customers' favourites, and it's great they will be able to experience high quality drinks at home."   

With four delicious canned offerings, MOTH has a serve to suit every taste and occasion. 

MOTH Old Fashioned

Rich, romantic, aromatic. Your go-to classic. Serve it over ice. Start a deep debate that puts the world to rights and stretches long into the night. Or karaoke. 

Ingredients: English

Whisky Co. Whisky |

Bobs Bitters | Sugar

MOTH Margarita

Fresh, sharp and confident. We think you'll like it. Show it off in a martini glass with a salted rim. Also good over ice with takeout. Or just drink and dance.

Ingredients: Enemigo Tequila | Triple Sec | Lime | Salt

MOTH Negroni

Enigmatic and floral. Punchy and bitter. Loves the journey - and slips in your travel bag - to Florence? Perfect at sunset. Or sunrise, if you're happy to talk forever.

Strength Gin | Asterley Bros Estate Vermouth| Amaro

MOTH Espresso Martini

Count on this to open your eyes. Smooth, bitter, balanced. Likes a glass icy enough to write your name on. Goes with sweet things, like a lover. Perfect with your favourite playlist.
