Kiss My Drinks was started by two grandsons, Niels and Wouter. They used their grandparents' handwritten recipes to create modern aperitifs. The brand name "Kiss My..." shows a playful and defiant approach to traditional drink making.
The brothers, with backgrounds in cooking and interior design, made the Kiss My brand both tasty and stylish. It is now popular in top cocktail bars and Michelin-starred restaurants. They aim to share their family recipes worldwide, driven by growing demand.
They focus on respecting nature and using slow food principles. They use organic and local ingredients, following a "100% authentic, 0% nonsense" approach. They make their aperitifs based on the seasonal availability of ingredients. This ensures a close link to nature and quality in each bottle.
Their products include "Kiss My Rhubarb". This mixes rhubarb with rosé wine, distillates, and lemon thyme and verbena. It offers rose and geranium aromas with a hint of pink grapefruit. "Kiss My Nuts" combines green walnuts, and red wine, and distillates with cinnamon and clove. It brings back memories of family dinners. "Kiss My Blackberries" blends blackberries, white wine, distillates, and fennel. It has aromas of red fruits and anise, reminding one of southern summers.
Kiss My Drinks offers unique, rich flavours. It also continues a story of family, flavour exploration, and a love for nature’s gifts.
