A Smarter Way for Pubs and Restaurants to Serve Cocktails
Mar 05, 2026
Cocktails are one of the most profitable drinks you can put on a menu. They elevate your drinks offer, increase spend per head and help venues stand out.
But running a proper cocktail programme is not always easy.
You need trained staff, multiple spirits and ingredients, prep time before service and space behind the bar. During busy periods cocktails can slow everything down.
For many venues looking to introduce cocktails for pubs, restaurants and hospitality venues, the operational challenges can feel like a barrier.
At Rythmik Cocktails, we understand those challenges first hand.
Before launching Rythmik, we spent more than a decade running a successful, award winning cocktail bar and music venue. We know exactly what it takes to deliver great drinks night after night and how difficult that can be during a packed service.
Rythmik Cocktails was created to solve those problems.
Our aim was simple. Take everything people loved about our bar cocktails and put it into a format that hospitality venues can serve quickly, consistently and profitably.
Built In A Bar, Not A Boardroom
Owning and running a bar teaches you very quickly what works and what does not.
You learn how important speed of service is. You learn how difficult it can be to maintain consistency when different staff are behind the bar. And you learn how much stock, prep and training goes into running a cocktail menu.
That experience shaped the way we created Rythmik.
Our premium ready to drink cocktails are expertly mixed using high quality ingredients and recipes refined over years of running our own cocktail bar.
The result is a cocktail range that delivers mixologist level quality with a much simpler serve.
For venues looking to add cocktails for pubs, restaurants and bars, it provides a practical way to offer great drinks without the complexity of a full cocktail bar.
Faster Service When It Matters
One of the biggest challenges with cocktails is speed.
During peak service, complex drinks can quickly slow down the bar and create queues.
Ready to serve cocktails solve that problem.
Simply pour, garnish and serve.
This allows venues to:
• serve more drinks during busy periods
• reduce queues at the bar
• keep service flowing smoothly
• allow staff to focus on hospitality rather than complicated drink builds
For weddings, festivals and large events this can make a huge difference.
Consistency in Every Drink
Anyone who has managed a bar knows how difficult consistency can be.
Different bartenders often produce slightly different versions of the same cocktail.
With expertly mixed cocktails, every serve delivers the same balance and flavour, ensuring your customers get the same drink every time.
Many venues also tell us their customers leave five star feedback on the cocktails because they taste exactly like they would expect from a great cocktail bar.
Strong Margins for Hospitality Venues
Cocktails should be profitable.
Rythmik cocktails start from around £2.50 per serve, allowing venues to maintain strong GP while still offering premium drinks to customers.
This makes them a great option for venues looking to introduce cocktails for pubs, restaurants and bars while maintaining strong margins.
They are ideal for:
• pubs and gastropubs
• restaurants
• wine bars
• hotels
• music venues
• weddings and private events
You get a premium cocktail menu without needing to invest in dozens of spirits and ingredients.
Less Waste and Simpler Stock Management
Running a cocktail menu often means stocking a large range of ingredients, many of which have short shelf lives.
Ready to serve cocktails simplify this significantly.
Benefits include:
• fewer ingredients behind the bar
• longer shelf life
• less prep time
• minimal waste
For many venues, this makes offering cocktails much more practical.
A Cocktail Menu Your Customers Recognise
The Rythmik range includes a variety of classic and modern favourites including:
• Espresso Martini
• Margarita
• Negroni
• Old Fashioned
• Passionfruit Martini
Our Passionfruit Martini was created specifically for the on trade, designed to deliver the flavour and theatre customers expect while remaining quick and easy to serve behind a busy bar.
These cocktails are available in bottles and larger formats depending on the needs of the venue.
For many hospitality businesses, this provides a simple way to introduce a cocktail menu for pubs or restaurantswithout adding complexity to service.

More Than Just a Supplier
Because we come from the hospitality industry ourselves, we know that simply delivering product is not enough.
We support our venue partners with:
• staff training
• cocktail serve suggestions
• help introducing cocktails to the menu
• support for launch nights and events
Our aim is to help venues serve great cocktails and sell more of them.
A Practical Way to Upgrade Your Drinks Menu
Cocktails can transform a drinks offer. They create excitement, increase spend per head and make a venue feel more premium.
But they should not slow down service or make operations more complicated.
Ready to serve cocktails give hospitality venues the best of both worlds.
Bar quality drinks. Fast service. Strong margins.
And because Rythmik was built by people who ran a cocktail bar themselves, we understand exactly what hospitality teams need.
