British spirits brand Whitebox Cocktails is expanding its portfolio of full-strength classic cocktails with the launch of a Manhattan, White Russian and Whiskey Sour, available across the UK from 2 November.

Whitebox specialises in full-strength classic cocktails, made by expert bartenders and ready to enjoy. Developed, blended and produced entirely in-house at its purpose-built facility, every cocktail stays true to the original recipe, using the right spirits, ingredients and proportions to recreate the drink as it was intended to taste.

The Manhattan (£5.50, 26.5% ABV) is a rich, spirit-forward combination of American whiskey, sweet vermouth and cocktail bitters. Dating back to 19th-century New York, the classic brings a distinctive whiskey-led serve to the Whitebox portfolio.

The UK’s first canned White Russian (£5.50, 20% ABV) introduces a creamy, coffee-led classic to the range, combining vodka, coffee liqueur and cream. Its development drew on specialist cream liqueur expertise in Ireland to achieve the right balance of flavour and texture.

Completing the trio is the Whiskey Sour (£5.00, 22% ABV), one of the great American cocktail classics. Combining whiskey, lemon and cocktail bitters, it balances the richness of the spirit with bright citrus and a touch of sweetness.

The launches reflect Whitebox’s focused approach to expanding its portfolio, building a range of full-strength classics with distinct flavour profiles rather than following short-term trends. The three new cocktails join established favourites including the bestselling Pocket Negroni, Freezer Martini and Spicy Marg.

Ben Iravani, co-founder of Whitebox Cocktails, said: “As Whitebox grows, we’re continuing to expand the range, but we’re very deliberate about what we add to it. The Manhattan, White Russian and Whiskey Sour are three very different classics, each bringing something new to the portfolio. The Manhattan alone has taken four years to bring to market because we wanted to source a whiskey that did the drink justice. That’s how we approach every new cocktail, by taking the time to get the ingredients, strength and balance right.”

Whitebox’s established UK retail presence includes Selfridges, John Lewis, Whole Foods and Sainsbury’s, alongside independent wine and spirits retailers nationwide.
