Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Still, a popular cocktail lounge in Cardiff, was struggling with drink consistency and long ticket times during their weekend rush. Making fresh sour mix for every order was becoming a major bottleneck for their bar team.
"We were spending so much time juicing and measuring, and slight variations meant some drinks went out perfect and others... not so much. We needed a solution that would give us back both time and consistency without compromising the taste our regulars expect."
Leo Mitchell – Bar Manager
After switching to the Finest Call mix for their high-volume sours, The Copper Still reduced the prep time for those cocktails by over 60%, allowing them to serve more customers and receive consistently positive feedback on their drinks.

The Finest Call Advantage: Consistency in Every Bottle
Choosing Finest Call is about more than just buying a premium cocktail sour mix; it's a strategic decision to prioritise consistency and operational intelligence. For decades, Finest Call has dedicated itself to the art and science of the professional bar, understanding that in a high-pressure environment, reliability is just as crucial as flavour. This focus is evident in every aspect of their product, from the flavour profile to the ergonomic bottle. The real-world value lies in eliminating the variables that can harm your bottom line and reputation: the fluctuating cost and quality of fresh citrus, the labour costs of daily prep, and the risk of an inconsistent product reaching your customer. By providing a stable, high-quality base, Finest Call lets you control costs, guarantee profit margins on every cocktail, and build a reputation for serving a great drink, every single time.

Ever notice how some bottles just feel clumsy behind a busy bar? The Finest Call bottle isn't one of them. Its 'bar-friendly' design, featuring a long, slender neck and a specially designed pouring spout, is a seemingly small detail that makes a huge difference during a hectic service. It's not just a container; it's been engineered as a professional tool.
Think of it like using a proper chef's knife instead of a butter knife to chop vegetables. One is designed for speed, control, and efficiency, while the other just gets the job done... eventually. This bottle is the chef's knife of mixers. It allows for a fast, clean, and accurate pour every time, directly from the bottle. There’s no need to fumble with separate pourers, which means less spillage, less waste, and more drinks served per hour.
Who Should Buy This?

- Restaurants with Bar Service: For ensuring every pre-dinner Margarita or Whiskey Sour is perfectly balanced and quick to serve.
