Cocktails in bottles have really come a long way and this is by far the best I've had so far. These are great for dinner parties. I mean, let's be real, we're not in college anymore and when I'm entertaining I love pouring quality and interesting stuff for my friends. The atomizer is also pretty sweet and is very unique. Worth every penny.

mamma mia! never really considered myself an old fashioned type of fella. that is, until i got my hands on hoste's gold fashion. the unboxing experience is truly something else. insane attention to detail (down to the textured packaging that gives it the impression it was handpainted). when i ordered the bottle i did it based on a recco of a friend, but must have not read the description that well because when i opened the box i was surprised to see it included an orange zest atomizer to finish the drink with. what a lovely surprise! really levels up the RTD experience to something noteworthy. sure you could give your friend a bottle of orange wine for their housewarming, but that's expected. if you're keen to leave an impression, this is the way. ordering a few more to have on hand for some lucky someones. side note: have yet to test the martini bottle, but was thrilled to see it just so happened to match my frog and toad shirt.

i was gifted a bottle of the gold fashioned and cracked it open on xmas eve with my friend who's an old fashioned snob and he and i were both mind blown. the atomizer is genuine innovation and fun/cute to use. whole experience makes paying $19++ at a bar seem so gd silly. got the martini too and will report back after i try!!

The perfect hosting gift. While I always have a bottle of each on my bar cart at home, the packaging + unboxing make for an exceptional gifting experience. Each bottling is perfectly balanced and uses really high quality ingredients. They feel super elevated and luxurious, and make hosting friends for a cocktail hour a cinch. Chill, pour, and enjoy is my new favorite way to bartend.

The Gold Fashioned is by-far the best ready to drink cocktail out. It is truly the perfect hosting gift and tastes as incredible as it looks. I can't wait for more iterations / differemt styles of cocktails to come out of HOSTE!

There are a lot of copycat bottled cocktails out there, but two things made these appealing to me. One, they went their own route on the packaging. I work in branding and so I am immediately turned off when things look cynical or generic or phoned in. From the box, to the atomizer, to the bottle (love a glass cork) these are stunners. And then the provenance - having Chicago legends Robby Haynes and Julia Momose making the drinks, but being able to drink them at home in my sweats at my own pace - that's pretty awesome. The Gold Fashioned is a very intentional blend of multiple well-aged American whiskies, and the sweetness and aromatic bitters are dialed in perfectly. The Martini is elegant, super unique but still very much a martini. And the price, while higher than many bottled cocktails out there, is really reflected in the whole experience. These are such showstoppers when you bring 'em to a gathering. The age of the whiskies in the Gold Fashioned and the custom vermouth in the Martini... the quality is through the roof. These are the closest thing I've had to a top-notch home version of a professional bartender-made drink. And they're so simple for anyone to pull off. I guess that's where the name comes from—its like the bottle is Hosting the drinks, so you, as the actual "host" can concentrate on your guests.

Works well for parties. Easy and solidly good.

I first bought Hoste's Gold Fashioned which was fantastic. The box was a display piece and the drink was super delicious. I knew I would get the next cocktail they dropped which ended up being the Martini. This is at a lower price point than the Gold Fashioned but it's equally impressive. The drink itself is made from top-shelf ingredients and it comes together very smoothly. At this point, they've earned my trust and I'll be in line to try anything new that they drop.

The gorgeous packaging and thoughtfully crafted liquid make an excellent, stress-free gift for any type of gathering. These drinks are conversation-starters, connection-makers, and taste sensations. Your party gift shopping starts and ends right here.

Honestly, I am not the best at mixing my own cocktails, but love hosting friends and serving them something special. Hoste cocktails are delicious and look beautiful too. I went with the martini with the zest atomizer the last time I hosted and my friends all loved trying the drink with me!! Would definitely recommend!

I’ve never really been into the pre-mixed cocktails as theyre usually way too sweet or laden with so many artificial flavors. Hoste is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. The unboxing experience will have you still storing it in the box even after opening the bottle. Using the atomizer never gets old. And the cocktails just flat out taste really good. I’m a whiskey person and old fashioned lover so the Gold Fashioned is my go to.

As a long standing partner with this brand both RTD's have been nothing but spectacular. From the branding to the packaging from the overall service & presentation provided at the events I've hosted, Hoste Cocktails is next level and carving the way in quality & care on how consumers perceive RTD's. If this rating tool was able to go up to a ten it still wouldn't be enough stars to match the level of excellence this brand has put together.

I love the Hoste cocktails -- they are so beautifully packaged and make a striking statement on your home back bar (or in your freezer door!) I'm partial to the Gold Fashioned - round, nutty and warm, it's perfectly balanced by the beautiful orange zest spritz that comes in a little atomizer in the box, but they are both great. They make great gifts (especially for high-end clients,) but also can really up your hosting game when you're trying to impress without stressing about mixing the drinks yourself. Would recommend :)

The cocktail in a bottle experience was exceptional! I absolutely loved the atomizer. It was tasty a cocktail but also super presentable. My holiday party was enhanced specifically because of this bottle, its packaging, and the taste! Thank you, Hoste!!!
