Our Story

Deko Cocktails was born from a simple conviction: you shouldn't need a home bar or bartending skills to enjoy a perfectly crafted cocktail.

Founded in 2019 by Ushi Shafran, Michael Handman, and Dan Rabinowitz, Deko Cocktails set out to bridge the gap between craft cocktail culture and everyday convenience. The idea was straightforward — take the same real spirits, organic ingredients, and meticulous proportions you'd find at a serious cocktail bar, and put them in a bottle. No compromises. No shortcuts. No artificial anything.

Every Deko Cocktails recipe is crafted with intention. We source organic honey, fresh citrus, and carefully selected botanicals. We use real spirits — never malt-based substitutes. And we obsess over balance, because a great cocktail isn't about any single ingredient. It's about how they come together.

The result is a collection of award-winning, ready-to-pour cocktails that hold their own against anything mixed behind a bar. Just pour over ice, and enjoy.

Quality Without Compromise

Every bottle starts with real spirits — never malt, never diluted. We hold ourselves to the same standard as the best cocktail bars, because convenience should never come at the cost of quality. This is what a cocktail is supposed to taste like.

All-Natural, Always

Organic honey. Fresh citrus. Carefully selected botanicals. No artificial flavors, no artificial colors, no preservatives. Every ingredient earns its place in the bottle — chosen for flavor, not for a label.

Crafted for the Moment

A dinner party. A quiet evening. A celebration with people you care about. Deko Cocktails is built for the moments that matter — ready when you are, no preparation required. Pour over ice, raise a glass, and be present.
