Our clients love the perfectly balanced cocktails, and our team finds them really easy to dispense, shake, pour and garnish.

Their attention to detail, coupled with a passion for mixology, shines through in every aspect of their service. Their cleverly crafted formula of pre-batched cocktails allows you to deliver large volumes of cocktails in minutes for those private & corporate events, highly recommended!!!"

"Frankie, Miles, Ben, and the Team at Black Pineapple are a pleasure to work with and can assist with any question that is thrown their way. It has been a pleasure to have their cocktails on board and they taste delicious to boot. They are super simple to prepare in a high pace environment and take the stress away from remembering the cocktail ingredients."
Samantha Francis, Charters and Events Coordinator, Explore auk
We are so happy that we chose Black Pineapple as our pre-batched cocktail company. They are super helpful and patient when it came to training my staff and their cocktails are out of this world! Our favourite and most popular would have to be the Mango Chili Margarita. It was a huge hit from day one! Best decision we have ever made.
