Enlisting the help of Michelin award- winning bartender Miles Macquarrie (Kimball House) for recipe development and James Beard Award finalist, Bart Sasso (Sasso & Co), for brand design, the team has created a lineup of true-to-form classic and modern classic recipes that have set the standard for excellence in the ready-to-drink cocktail category. The current offerings include the Negroni, Old Fashioned, Mai Tai, Bee’s Knees, Cosmopolitan, Espresso Martini, Jungle Bird, Margarita, Naked & Famous, Paper Plane, and Whiskey Sour.  Tip Top has received national acclaim and top Industry awards, including many San Francisco Ready-To-Drink Competition Medals, earning a Double Gold for Margarita and Best in Class for Jungle Bird, and six New Orleans Spirits Competition Medals, including Best Rum RTD for Jungle Bird and Best Whiskey RTD for Old Fashioned.
