We’re Civil Pours. Nice to meet you.
In 2022, Civil Pours was born – a collection of ready-to-pour premium cocktails that are sustainably crafted using proprietary technology and techniques.
It all started in a cocktail-making class taught by Nick Kennedy. After a captivating session with two inspired students, an idea was concocted to innovate the cocktail space. Time passed, experiments were conducted, and perfect cocktails were crafted.
Up for a taste of innovation?
With our innovative vacuum distillation process, we've revolutionized the art of distillation, ensuring that every sip of our cocktails embodies both vibrant quality and taste.
- We distill in a vacuum to lower the boiling point so we can distill at optimal growing temperatures for our fresh ingredients.
- Pure, fresh flavours are preserved rather than cooked away.
- Energy consumption and carbon footprint are reduced.
Sipping responsibly
from start to finish.
We love this big, blue planet of ours. That’s why we maintain sustainable practices to ensure a better world today and tomorrow.
