Why Hospitality Chooses Empirical

We love the classics. They’re classics for a reason. But turning a great cocktail into one people travel for sometimes takes something that makes it unmistakably your own. That’s what we make: a toolkit of spirits designed to take familiar cocktails somewhere unexpected.

  • Four Stonefruit cocktails on a white set, with fresh peaches and stone-fruit slices
  • Empirical Olive Martini
  • Cilantro Margarita – A Fresh Herbaceous Twist on the Classic Margarita
1 3

Make your own classic. An espresso martini, a margarita, a dirty martini or something entirely yours. Each Empirical spirit is a simple way to turn a classic into a drink people remember and come back for.

Proven behind the best bars. Empirical is already a key component in cocktails at many of the Top 50 bars in North America. The same approach to flavor works behind any bar.

An easy addition to any program. At about $1 an ounce, Empirical fits a cocktail program without reworking it.

A team committed to your success. Staff trainings, menu consultation, events and brand activations tailored to your venue.

OUR CORE SPIRITS

  • Empirical Olive bottle and olives splashing in a martini glass

    Olive

    Elevate your martini.
    Split Empirical Olive with vodka or gin and stir with a touch of extra dry vermouth for the Empirical Olive Martini. Delicious, consistent and ready in seconds. Or get creative and add a savory note to an Olive Negroni or an Olive Highball.

  • Empirical Cilantro bottle beside a painted close-up of cilantro leaves

    Cilantro

    Make your margaritas stand out.
    Split Empirical Cilantro with tequila or mezcal, then shake with orange liqueur and lime for the Empirical Cilantro Margarita. Top it with Fever-Tree Yuzu & lime mixer for a crisp, citrus-forward highball in the Cilantro Yuzu & lime, or explore a different flavor profile with a Cilantro Chocolate negroni.

  • Empirical Stonefruit bottle beside sliced peaches and their stones

    Stonefruit

    Make your coffee cocktails unforgettable.
    Shake Empirical Stonefruit with vodka, espresso and coffee liqueur for a spectacular Stonefruit Espresso Martini, or bring it into a classy Mind Eraser. For something lighter, the Stonefruit Tom Collins adds a soft, fruity depth to the classic.

  • Empirical Ayuuk bottle beside dried Pasilla Mixe chillies on red paper

    Ayuuk

    Bring a smoky depth to your cocktails.
    Empirical Ayuuk plays naturally with mezcal and whiskey. Try it neat or on the rocks, or give an Old Fashioned an outstanding twist.

  • Empirical Soka bottle beside sorghum heads against a pale sky

    Soka

    A change-up for your white rum cocktails.
    Try the daiquiri or mojito.

  • Empirical Symphony 6 bottle beside citrus leaves frozen into a block of ice

    Symphony 6

    Add a new level of complexity to your gin-based cocktails.
    Try with an Empirical Symphony 6 & Tonic, or add a twist on a French 75.
