5 O’Clock Box ? – What Is It & Sparkling Rosé Recipe

After the stress of achieving goals and making more progress in the new year, now, more than ever, is the perfect time to find a way to take the edge off after a long day. When you’re working from home, it’s easy for the days to melt together. A great way to avoid this feeling of monotony is to give yourself something to look forward to!

Introducing our 5 O’Clock Box – it is certainly more than just another kit of mixers and bitters. This kit provides you with an entire experience. Created and taste-tested by master bartenders, our two flavors are sure to spice up your day. Take a look to learn more.

What is the 5 O’Clock Box?

This box was designed in order to make crafting artisanal cocktails quick, easy and fun. Take a chance and let your inner mixologist shine while whipping up these delectable small batch beverages. These boxes not only include all of the ingredients needed to successfully play the role of at-home-bartender, but they also include a Stainless Steel Jigger and a Stirring Stick to make sure the job is done right.

We have two versions of The 5 O’ Clock Box available; The Spiced Old Fashioned and The Sparkling Rose. These two variations on classic and beloved beverages are guaranteed to satisfy every palate at your next gathering.

The Spiced Old Fashioned Kit

This kit is a twist on the well known and traditional Old Fashioned recipe. Including Mandarin crisps, which work to replace the muddled orange, and a three Chile simple syrup that provides a zippy kick. Don’t forget the chocolate bitters, which soften the heat, and provide a lightly sweetened finish.

The Sparkling Rosé Kit

We like to say that celebration is just a toast away with this sweet, sparkling, and festive beverage. This kit includes all of the high-quality ingredients needed in order to prepare one beautifully delicious batch bottle. The Rosé kit also comes with a user-friendly recipe card and a suggested spirit pairing.
