Chill, shake, and serve. With Miami Cocktail Co., thatโs all it takes to sip and savor a gourmet cocktail in the comfort of your home.
Think of the Wynwood-based business as a bartender in a bottle, where each cocktail blendโfrom mimosas to margaritasโis meticulously crafted with organic ingredients, like Florida grapefruit and Sicilian oranges.

Created in 2013 by Ross Graham and Simon Benstead, Miami Cocktail Co.โs wine-based, ready-to-serve products were born from a desire to offer high-quality cocktails, made with real ingredients and sold at affordable prices.
โSimon and I have known each other for years,โ Graham says. โWe both come from a hospitality background, and, over time, we noticed the marketโs need for something authentic.โ
Five years and thousands of tastings later, Miami Cocktail Co. products are available around South Florida, California and even the United Kingdom. Its products are sold at some of the most recognized retailers too, including Total Wine, The Fresh Market and Whole Foods.
โPeople demand more,โ Graham says. โWe live in a Whole Foods world, and, at the end of the day, consumers care what theyโre putting in their bodies, even when it comes to alcohol.โ
Benstead adds: โAlmost every other category in the grocery store, from dairy to meat, is moving toward better ingredients and more accountability. But itโs always slow to innovate in the spirits industry, which is why we decided to take the plunge and launch our own products.โ
Miami Cocktail Co.โs main product line, Small Batch Originals, includes Blood Orange Mimosa, Copper Pot Margarita and Sunset Sangria, all of which are gluten-free with no additives, preservatives, artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, and negligible sulfites, which means a lower chance for a hangover.
The margarita, Bensteadโs favorite, blends pure blue agave wine with Key lime juice and Valencia orange juice. The mimosa, the brandโs No. 1-selling product at Whole Foods, calls for sparkling wine, with blood orange, tangerine and grapefruit juices. The margarita is made with red wine, pineapple, and mango, orange and lime juices.
โWeโre offering recognizable cocktails, but weโve also put a lot of thought into them in terms of what ingredients we use,โ Benstead says. โItโs not just orange and Champagne.โ
Besides flavor, Miami Cocktail Co.โs products offer noticeable value compared to traditional cocktails. Each Small Batch Original, priced at $15, weighs in at 750 milliliters and measures slightly above three cups. Benstead and Graham say one bottle generally serves about four people.
โIf we walked into a bar and asked for a mojito, weโre going for the experience of a bartender muddling limes and mixing it right in front of us,โ Benstead says. โWeโre giving you all that, but itโs already done.โ
Earlier this year, the company launched its first single-serve cans in a spritz collection, featuring flavors like Elderflower and Ginger Margarita, Mandarin Rosรฉ Mimosa, Sunrise Rosรฉ Sangria, and Mango Peach Rosรฉ Bellini. It also debuted a brand-new storefront and private tasting room at its Wynwood headquarters, which offers pairing events and art installations.
โWeโll never replace the experience of walking into a bar and ordering a cocktail, but now weโre giving people the chance to sip that same quality drink without paying a fortune or traveling far,โ Graham says. โNot to mention, you can also pronounce every single ingredient inside each one.โ
