World’s first customizable liqueurs, handmade to order

Alchemist Dreams have launched what they believe to be the world’s first custom liqueurs, made to order using organic grain spirit.

From garden rooms to face creams and even pet food — there seems to be no end to the list of products that can be customized, and now UK company Alchemist Dreams have launched what they believe to be the world’s first custom liqueurs, made to order using organic grain spirit. Ruth Ball, an “artist and activist with a scientist’s mind” left university with a degree in chemistry and a dream to “start something fabulous”, and so Alchemist Dreams was born. Every bottle is blended by hand to order, from a range of handcrafted flavors made in small batches. The concept aims to give fans of experimental mixology the chance to concoct their own liqueurs, simply by selecting ingredients on the website. A blend starts with a choice of one or two fruity base flavors, followed by adding two or three “accent” flavors which are herbs, spices and generally subtler flavors. Users must then choose from a selection of seven hand-blown bottle shapes and sizes ranging from GBP 15 to GBP 30. Finally the bottle is tied up with a red ribbon, sealed with black wax and a personalized, hand printed label is attached. For those who aren’t confident about making their own blends, there is a range of house blends which change every season. Alchemist Dreams liqueurs are available via the website, and can be found at various markets around the UK. Bespoke liqueurs can be made for corporate events and parties, as well as corporate gifts and wedding favors. Make it customizable, and make your product appeal to any number of unique personal tastes. Bring the food and beverage market into the mix and the customization possibilities are endless!
