The Story
Cheeky Cocktails is a Brooklyn-based cocktail mixer brand founded by April Wachtell in 2019, offering bar-quality syrups and juices designed for both home enthusiasts and professional bars.
Wachtell, a 13-year bartending veteran and former Bacardi brand ambassador, created Cheeky Cocktails to fill a gap in the market: high-quality, shelf-stable mixing ingredients that could deliver cocktail-bar results without the need for fresh-squeezed citrus or house-made syrups.
The brand's portfolio includes professional-grade cocktail syrups, fresh juices, and functional tonics, all crafted by bartenders and used behind the bar at five-star venues. Cheeky Cocktails has become a trusted name in the home bartending community.
