A Belfast company which makes pre-mixed cocktails has attracted £1.2m in funding for its mission to shake up the drinks world.
Cocktail Keg Company was founded by Paul ‘Burnszy’ Burns and Anthony ‘Soda’ Farrell seven years ago.
It’s now received £1.2m in funding to grow the business from the Investment Fund for Northern Ireland (IFNI), managed by Clarendon Fund Managers, and private investors including Trevor Annon, founder of Mount Charles.
The new investment will allow CKC to grow even further in the UK and Ireland and other markets including Europe and the Middle East. It recently announced a three-year distribution deal in Great Britain.
Burnzsy said: “We always say that perfecting the art of mixology takes years, huge amounts of skill and a fair bit of theatre. We’ve done all the hard work and put that in a bottle so all our customers have to do is shake, garnish and serve.”
