HOCUS FAQ’s
What is Hocus?
HOCUS is a brand new ‘Bar in a bottle’ concept allowing drink lovers to enjoy many different spirits all from one bottle.
How is HOCUS made?
HOCUS is made by filtering premium spirits into their two parts; their unique essence profile and their alcohol – a pioneering method that HOCUS Inventor, Mark Stone likes to call “deconstructive ethanology”.
HOCUS’s neutral spirit base is blended from a mix of grains canes and vegetables, then bottled by hand in Bristol, UK.
HOCUS is produced using natural processes.
How do you drink HOCUS?
We always recommended HOCUS is served as a 25ml measure, mixed with one of our spirit essence ampoules and served straight up, with a mixer or in your favourite cocktail.
Spirit essences should not be drunk neat.
Does HOCUS contain any alcohol?
Yes. Each 50cl bottle is distilled at 40% ABV.
Our 1.75ml spirit essences also contain alcohol
