Signature cocktails,
ready to serve.
Excellence, efficiency and profitability in every service. Signature cocktails handcrafted at the distillery, ready to chill and serve: a new way of thinking about premium cocktails.
What we're up against
Quality cannot depend on who is behind the bar.
All year round, and especially in high season, keeping quality consistent is one of the biggest challenges for any venue.
- High staff turnover.
- Recipes that vary depending on who makes the cocktail.
- Long preparation times.
- A team with little cocktail experience.
- Costs that are impossible to control.
- The pressure to maximise takings in minimum time.
The result: the quality of a cocktail depends far too much on who makes it. Fortunately, that has changed.
We have the solution
Ready-to-serve signature cocktails: the Cocktail Time by Gerard Ruiz method.
- Cocktails handcrafted at our distillery and packed in 10-litre bag-in-box, ready to chill and serve.
- Original recipes from Gerard Ruiz's Signature Collection, backed by more than 20 years behind the bar and a lifetime in hospitality.
- 100% natural ingredients, no artificial preservatives.
- Spec sheets so you know exactly what goes into each cocktail, the glassware, the preparation time and the type of ice, with a photo of how it should look when it reaches the table.
- Ready-to-serve cocktails: just add ice and the garnish.
Every cocktail tastes exactly the same, every time.

Questions
How many cocktails does a box make?
Between 70 and 100 cocktails per 10-litre box, depending on the cocktail. We allow around 140 ml per cocktail, dilution included.
How much does it cost?
€175.00 per 10-litre box, VAT included. Delivery is charged separately, per box and by zone. That works out at around €2.50 per cocktail or less.
How long does delivery take?
We ship anywhere in Spain with Correos Express. Mainland: €6.90 per box; Balearic Islands: €19.90 per box. Delivered within 5 working days. The order is always handed to someone over 18.
How do I pay?
By card, on a secure Stripe checkout page. If you are a business, you can enter your Tax ID (NIF) at checkout so the invoice is issued in your name.
Do you sell to individuals?
Yes. The service is designed for hospitality, but anyone over 18 can order a box for a party or an event at home.
Can you create a cocktail just for our venue?
Yes. Gerard Ruiz designs exclusive cocktails for venues that fit our philosophy. We talk it through with you first: call us on +34 628 860 712 or drop us a line.
What does ‘sold as a base’ mean?
Some cocktails contain egg white, fizz or a smoky touch that do not keep well once packaged. In these cases, the box contains everything else and the recipe sheet explains what to add when serving.
Do I need to change anything at the bar?
No. The box is kept in the fridge and served from its own tap. You can start straight away, with no structural changes.
How often do you deliver?
Weekly or monthly supply, depending on your demand.
How should I store it?
Keep it in a cool place and refrigerate once opened. The best-before date is on each box's label.
