Miniature Drinks

Unless otherwise stated on our website, mini drinks are bottled in small 50ml glass or plastic (PET) bottles and packaged in boxes or packs of 12. These small bottles of alcohol, also known as alcoholic miniatures or nips, are a great way to sample your favourite beverage without the expense of full-size bottles.

Alcoholic minis started life as samplers by distillery representatives who gave them to retailers to promote their full-size bottles. However, they quickly became an industry in their own right, catering to individuals for wedding favours and companies' corporate and promotional gifts.

Interestingly, these miniatures became very popular in America. Due to their state laws, full-size liquor bottles could not be sold over the counter to the general public for fear of drunkenness because of excessive alcohol consumption.

Alcoholic miniatures in 5cl/ 50ml glass or plastic bottles containing various liquors, whisky (whiskey), brandy, vodka, rum, port, and gin, to name just a few, are a great way to try out the big brands without the expense of buying full-size bottles. The most popular of these, by far, are miniature Scotch whisky, blends or single malts. Rightly so, as the Scotch whisky industry produces the best whisky anywhere in the world and continues to innovate with new distilleries that offer consumers an ever-increasing variety to sample.

Mini-bar drinks in PET (plastic) bottles are ideal for those who comply with health and safety rules and laws at party events; these are easily stored and safely transported to corporate venues.

Miniature drinks can be a fun and unique option for wedding favours. Some ideas for miniature drinks that you could consider include:

1. Miniature bottles of spirits: If you and your partner are fans of a particular type of spirit, you could consider giving out miniature bottles of it as favours. Options might include whiskey, vodka, gin, or rum.
2. Mini bottles of flavoured liqueur: For a more unique and playful option, you could consider giving out miniature bottles of flavoured liqueurs, such as Bailey's Irish Cream or Kahlua.
3. Personalised Miniatures. You may also want to add custom-made labels or packaging to make the favours even more special.

No matter what type of miniature drink you choose, be sure to consider the preferences of your guests and any dietary restrictions they may have. You may also want to consider the theme and overall style of your wedding when selecting your favours.
