About NIO Cocktails

NIO Cocktails was born in 2017 to change attitudes around cocktail consumption among the general public. The brand rapidly became a leading innovator in the world of ready-to-enjoy cocktails in both Italy and the UK. The concept behind NIO is simple: just shake, tear, pour. NIO, which stands for Needs Ice Only, is based on the dream of being able to enjoy your favourite cocktails whenever you want, all while maintaining the highest quality in both the recipes and their ingredients. All NIO Cocktails boast the seal of approval of Patrick Pistolesi, Italian master mixologist and brand ambassador to some of the world’s most prestigious spirits brands, who is the founder of the 19th Best Bar in the World. Pistolesi's artistry is reinforced by NIO’s collaboration with some of the best producers and spirits labels in the world.
