Fresh from Amsterdam
HockTail is made the way fresh food is made: in small batches, from real ingredients, kept cold and served soon after. This is the part you do not see at the bar, and the reason the glass tastes the way it does.
Our drinks are prepared in Amsterdam by an experienced production partner, recipe by recipe, with HockTail batches scheduled around the events they are made for. Fresh means made recently and kept cold, not made in advance and built to last.
Every batch is filled into 9 or 18 litre pressurised kegs. Kegs keep the drink cold, sealed and moving, and they let us carbonate a recipe when carbonation makes it better. A keg swap at the bar takes a minute. Nothing sits open.
Refrigerated from filling to service, in our refrigerated bars or in your own cold equipment. Temperatures are checked, batches are coded and traceable, and each recipe travels with its own handling instructions.
A HockTail is poured over ice into a glass or cup, finished with a real garnish and served at cocktail pace. Pours run between 150 and 250 ml depending on the drink and the glass. Ice is ice. The HockTail is the liquid.
Fresh drinks deserve real discipline. Documented processes, checked temperatures, batch coding and clear handling instructions travel with every keg. Crews learn the drinks, the allergens and the service standard before they pour.
Where fresh goes next
HockTail is built for festivals, clubs, venues and events across the Netherlands, starting with Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht in the 2027 season. The longer ambition is the chilled aisle, next to fresh smoothies and mocktails, and cities beyond the Netherlands. Fresh stays non-negotiable.
