TIP TOP PROPER COCKTAILS
Atlanta-based Tip Top Proper Cocktails was founded in 2018 by childhood friends and music industry veterans Neal Cohen and Yoni Reisman. After years producing large-scale events and festivals in NYC and around the country, the two discovered something was missing from the market: high-quality, classic cocktails that could be enjoyed with convenience at a concert, dinner party, tailgate, or simply at home.
Enlisting the help of veteran Atlanta mixologist and seven-time James Beard Award nominee Miles Macquarrie (of Kimball House and Watchman’s) to develop the recipes, the team created three 100ml canned low-ball classic cocktail recipes to form their “Stirred” line: the Manhattan, Negroni, and Old Fashioned. After more than two years of recipe development, Tip Top Proper Cocktails officially launched in Georgia in September 2019. In March 2021, Tip Top announced its new “Shaken” line, featuring three all-new, ready-to-enjoy 100ml canned cocktails: a Margarita, Daiquiri, and Bee’s Knees.
Tip Top has launched in package stores, restaurants, and bars in Colorado, South Carolina, Texas, Florida, New York, and most recently in Chicago. Delta flyers can also enjoy the Tip Top Old Fashioned and Margarita aboard Delta flights. The products are also now available as 8-packs for shipping to 46 states nationwide via https://shop.tiptopcocktails.com/
