BORN IN ATLANTA. BUILT BEHIND THE BAR

18.21 began during Atlanta’s 2014 snowpocolypse with a simple idea: Crafting Better Cocktails. What started with experimenting with bitters at home quickly grew into a collection of handcrafted syrups, shrubs and mixers built around global food pairings and unique flavor profiles.

From a commercial kitchen in Atlanta’s historic Old Forth Ward, 18.21 made its way behind the bars of restaurants and cocktail programs across the country. More than a decade later, we’re still guided by the same philosophy- thoughtful ingredients and unexpected flavors

Her approach is simple: exceptional cocktails should enagage all the senses. Through 18.21, Kristin continues to create bold, globally inspired flavors designed to make better cocktails more accessible—whether they’re being made behind a bar or at home.
