Cocktail orders are shipped with the option for 1-2 Day or 3-4 Day delivery, as presented at checkout. While 95% of deliveries do arrive within these expected timeframes, on rare occasions it may take up to 5 working days for your cocktails to arrive.

If your order has not arrived on the day expected and you have received your shipping confirmation email, your order is on its way and can be tracked via the courier tracking website using your unique tracking ID. We appreciate your patience during any courier processing delays.

We currently fulfil orders 6 days a week, excluding public holidays and orders are dispatched and delivered Monday–Saturday. No Sunday delivery is currently available.

Pre-5pm weekday orders are dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 5pm on Friday will ship on Sunday. All public holiday orders will be dispatched over the following 2 working days.

All shipping methods include a tracked service with our couriers. You will receive email notifications directly from Yodel or DPD to track and to divert your order to a neighbour (or Leave Safe if this delivery option was selected at Checkout) if you are not going to be available to take delivery.

No, all our cocktails are full strength and designed to be treated just as you would a bottle of spirits as part of your home bar. NIO Cocktails have a shelf life well over 12 months, and the taste and quality is not impacted by temperature changes. 

To enjoy a chilled, refreshing cocktail simply fill a tumbler with ice, then shake, tear and pour your chosen NIO Cocktail into the glass. In less than one minute you'll have a cocktail ready to savour.

Our alcoholic cocktails have a shelf life of over 12 months and can be stored as you would a bottle of spirits for your home bar. our alcohol-free cocktails have a shelf life of 6 months. They do not need to be kept in the fridge and are unaffected by hot or cold weather, especially en route to being delivered to you. You can take your time to enjoy NIO as the cocktails also do not need to be consumed straight after delivery. 

Each cocktail is 100ml, and full strength. Each cocktail contains roughly a double measure (50ml) of premium branded spirit. We recommend filling a tumbler or other glassware with ice and pouring the cocktail into the glass and allowing to sit for one minute before enjoying.

All UK orders are packed and dispatched by our local team from within the UK. Our cocktails are crafted in Italy, and are stored safely in the UK ready to fulfil your order.

The two supports are easily separable after use to dispose of them in full respect of the environment.
