Since launching in 2023, the brand has gained a loyal following and is fast becoming known for its innovation, distinctive packaging, and viral product drops – including the soon-to-launch Face Twister cocktail.

To mark the occasion, the company’s two youngest team members, Lucy, aged 23, and Ellie, aged 23, will be representing the brand at the awards ceremony in Daventry this October.

Lucy said: “Being nominated is already such a win for us. We’re proud to be part of a team that’s building something fresh, fun, and totally different in the drinks industry.”

Ellie added: “This has been a huge team effort, and it’s exciting to see Letterbox Cocktails getting this kind of recognition so early on. We can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Winners will be announced at a special event in the autumn.
