I'm Alex, on of the co-founders. Happy to answer any questions :)

Yo, @alexheeton! Excellent gift idea and similar to Vinyl Me, Please, you're selling an experience, not just drinks. How do you choose which drinks to feature and do you ship to the U.S.?
Alex Slade
@rrhoover Yea, I'm a product guy at heart, and wanted to make something that focussed on simply being delightful :) We don't ship to the US yet (we're very young and based in the UK), but there are alternatives like http://julibox.com/ As for drinks: the founders know a lot of bartenders, so we have a bit of back-catalogue of people and brands that we can show off. It's just a scheduling process, giving our members: * Variety (not whiskey two months in a row) * Quality (no crappy vodka, we want to show off really good ingredients) * Fun seasonal stuff, like at Easter when we teamed up with a chocolatier.

Great idea Alex, and nice to see another UK-based product hunter! I'm going to order one in a few weeks time for a friend's birthday.

Thanks James! We can do various special things for gifts, so get in touch when you do order.

Any plans for having scaled options? IE: if I want to host a monthly cocktail party with a few friends, I'd want ~4x the amount.
Alex Slade
@willimholte No public offerings yet. We tried some scaled kits but had issues (i.e. you needed a full bottle of X, but only a bit of Y). We could certainly do something for a special occasion though, drop me an email (alex@) if you'd like to arrange something.

@alexheeton - Great idea - we can cross promote you on bevvy.co if you want to create some cocktail menus so our users can buy your products. Let me know if you are interested. Cheers!
Alex Slade
@GehaniNeil Absolutely, we're still small and need plenty of help spreading the word :) I'll drop you an email.
