Whitebox Cocktails, the bartender-led cocktail brand, is expanding its menu of classic cocktails with two new launches: the Whitebox Mai Tai and Whitebox Clover Club.

The launches come as the UK’s premium ready-to-drink cocktail market continues to grow 10% year on year, with Whitebox spearheading the growth of the premium end of the market with full-strength classic cocktails, made by their team of award-winning bartenders. Building on this momentum, Whitebox has grown revenue 100% year-on-year to reach £4 million, expanded to 1,000+ of the UK’s leading independent wine and spirits retailers, as well as Selfridges, Harrods, John Lewis, Wholefoods Market and Sainsbury’s, and now exports to eight international markets, making it one of the fastest-growing spirits brands in the UK.

Both new products bring their heritage cocktail recipes to retail for the first time. The Whitebox Mai Tai (100ml; 23% ABV; RRP £5.50) stays true to the authentic 1944 Trader Vic’s recipe that made tiki cocktails famous – a bold, sunshine-soaked rum-forward classic that’s full-strength and perfectly balanced. The Whitebox Clover Club (100ml; 22% ABV; RRP £5.50), a silky, tangy-sweet premium gin cocktail originating in pre-Prohibition America, blends gin, raspberries and lemon juice with a signature foam top to create the first and only canned version of this classic cocktail in the UK market.

Ben Iravani, co-founder of Whitebox Cocktails, said: “There is no regulation of cocktail labelling in the UK, so just because a product says ‘Mai Tai’ or ‘Clover Club,’ it doesn’t mean you are getting the authentic cocktail. At Whitebox our promise is simple – we will always make the cocktails to the classic recipes. We feel it is a worthy mission as the  Clover Club and Mai Tai are two of the most celebrated classic cocktails in history. Most people have never tasted an authentic version of these drinks and now we’re bringing both back in a way that’s faithful to their heritage and ready to be enjoyed straight from the fridge.”

The Mai Tai and Clover Club join Whitebox Cocktails’ range of classic cocktails, including the Pocket Negroni, Squeezy’s Margarita, Espresso Martini, Straight Up Daiquiri, Prêt À Boire Boulevardier, and XO Vieux Carré, alongside Chipper’s Old Fashioned, Spicy Marg, Classic Cosmo, Freezer Martini, and Tiny Tee’s Dirty Martini. Nearly every product in the range has won a Great Taste Award, and every cocktail is created and produced in-house at Whitebox Cocktails’ purpose-built production facility, run by their team of top bartenders. 

Josh Rennie, co-founder of Whitebox Cocktails, said: “Across our retail partners, we’re seeing consumer demand for our authentic full strength cocktails. So much so that in most of our premium wine and spirits retailers,  Whitebox is a top ten performing brand across all beer, wines and spirits. The Whitebox Mai Tai and Clover Club are built on the kind of recipes our founding team have spent years refining in some of the world’s top bars, now in a format that fits how people drink at home.”

The Whitebox Mai Tai and Whitebox Clover Club are available from 27 March 2026 from top independent UK retailers, key wholesalers, as well as direct at whiteboxcocktails.com
