You found our list of virtual happy hour cocktail kits.
Virtual happy hour cocktail kits are packages of ingredients sendable to friends, employees, or colleagues for a Zoom or Teams happy hour. Happy hour cocktail kits often include cocktail mixers, bitters, syrups, and alcohol.
From Moscow Mules to Blood Orange Cosmos, here is a list of virtual happy hour cocktails bound to make attendees happy.
1. Strawberry Pineapple Sangria
One of the yummiest cocktail kits with alcohol delivery is Wood-n-Tap's Strawberry Pineapple Sangria box. This $40 box has a 32 oz. Sangria base with a fusion of pineapple and strawberry. Alongside its sangria base is one container of strawberries and one bottle of Bosa Prosecco Brut. This box would pair well with a jar of olive tapenade and crackers.

2. The Perfect Margarita
The Perfect Margarita box from Wood-n-Tap retails at $40 and includes alcohol delivery. The kit contains one bottle of Concierge Reposado Tequila, two bottles of House-Made Margarita Mix, one lime, and one container of kosher salt. This box can be made complete with fresh salsa and chips.
You can bring the islands to your virtual happy hour with a Wood-n-Tap's Tiki Sangria box. This $40 box's sangria's base is a blend of Pinot Grigio, fresh juices, oranges, and cherries. The kit includes one orange, one container of Amarena cherries, 32 oz. of juice, 32 oz. of soda water, and one bottle of Anterra Pinot Grigio. This mix yields about ten sangrias. To add to the island experience, you can send all virtual partygoers a fresh pineapple or tropical fruit basket.
Mule cocktails have become a happy hour favorite. I prefer a classic Moscow Mule, however, there are many flavor variations. Happyhourkits.com offers a kit that includes both a classic Moscow and blackberry mule. The kit contains one bottle of Pratt Standard Blackberry Mint Syrup, two dehydrated limes, one can of Goslings Ginger Beer, two limes, one Happied Jigge, and 100ml Vodka. All partygoers have to do is add ice!
You can deviate from standard lime margaritas with a Paloma and cranberry-orange margarita. This kit includes ingredients for two tequila-based cocktails. The contents of the box include one bottle of Pratt Standard Cranberry Orange Syrup, one bag of Himalayan pink sea salt, one can of Q Sparkling Grapefruit, two limes, one Happied Jigger, and one bottle of 100ml Tequila (with Spirit Add-On).
One of the most fun cocktail kits for employees is an Old Fashioned Cocktail kit. This kit is easily portable and includes a small batch of aromatic bitters, cane sugar, a desk-size bar spoon and muddler, a recipe card, and a linen coaster for two cocktails. Alcohol is not included, therefore, we recommend sending small bottles of gin or vodka separately. The occasion would also be an excellent opportunity to put together a happy hour basket with small bottles of alcohol and snacks.
You can give your virtual happy hour a summer feel with an Italian Spritz Kit. This kit offers sufficient supplies for two Italian Spritz cocktails. Ingredients include citrus cocktail syrup, a 1/2 oz. jigger, a travel-size bar spoon, a recipe card, and a linen coaster. You can add Italian fare with a food basket of Italian cured meats, pecorino, and bread.
You can host a virtual happy hour brunch with Heritage Distilling's Mimosa Cocktail kit. This kit gives you the option of HDC Ruby Red Grapefruit, Blood Orange, Mango, or Pomegranate Vodka, and includes a bottle of Sparkling Wine and a bottle of Orange Juice. Specifically, in the kit are 1 oz. HDC Ruby Red Grapefruit, Blood Orange, Mango, or Pomegranate Vodka, 2 oz. Chateau Ste. Michelle Sparkling Wine, and 1 oz Orange Juice. Happy hour goers simply pour all the ingredients into a champagne glass and sip away!
The combination of pineapple and jalapeño sounds incompatible until you try it. I recently tried a pineapple jalapeño margarita and have no regrets! Camp Craft Cocktails offers a pineapple jalapeño mix with pineapple, lime, jalapeño, and citrus-infused non-GMO vegan cane sugar. This kit does not include alcohol, but some recommended infusions are vodka, gin, tequila, rum, or bourbon.
The $25 Blood Orange Cosmo Bar in a Jar is a unique spin on the classic Cosmopolitan. Packed neatly in a jar, the kit includes two Blood Orange Flavored Vodka minis, one can of cranberry juice, and ¼ oz. of lime juice. All happy hour goers have to do is pour the ingredients into a shaker with ice and enjoy!
You do not need an old-fashioned porch swing to enjoy this kit, although it would be an added bonus! This Huckleberry-Old Fashioned kit includes two bamboo skewers, one 10 oz. bottle of Cocktail Courier Basil Syrup, one packet of dried huckleberries, one I'm Your Huckleberry Mini Recipe Card, one passionfruit hibiscus tea bag, three bourbon bottles, and one 10 oz. Balsamic vinegar bottle.
Even the name of this drink sounds fun! This jar comes with two Elk Rider Gin minis, a tiny jar of Bonne Maman jam, and a can of Fever-Tree-Club Soda. To make a Gin Jam Fizz, shake 1.5 oz. Elk Rider Gin, one tbsp. of jam and ice in a shaker. Then, strain the ingredients, pour, and top with club soda!
You can spice up virtual brunch with a Bloody Mary's and Brunch Kit and a virtual class. In this kit, you will find ingredients for stuffed pancakes and two Bloody Mary cocktails. This box's ingredients include
Bloody Mary Ingredients:
George's Botanivore Gin,
tomato juice
celery
green olives
Tabasco Sauce
Pancake Ingredients:
potatoes
scallions
carrots
jalapeno,
green cayenne
The kit also includes Zoom link instructions on setting up the class.
This unusual cocktail mix fuses Michigan peaches, rosemary, and lemon. The kit does not come with alcohol but recommended alcoholic pairings include gin, whiskey, or white wine. Let's Stay Home offers the following cocktail recipe:
Peach Rosemary Cocktail Mix Recipe
5-6 oz. Let's Stay Home Peach Rosemary Mix
One bottle of white wine
4 oz. Elderflower liqueur
Sliced peaches, lemons, and rosemary sprigs to taste
You can order an online snack box from retailers like Harry & David to complete the experience!
Let's Stay Home offers a unique mix that blends blueberries, dried lavender, and lime juice. This kit does not come with alcohol, but Let's Stay Home recommends pairing the mix with vodka or tequila. You can even make a boozy float with the cocktail mix, vodka, and vanilla ice cream.
Lavender is not only wonderful for cooking but adds a unique flavor to cocktails. Cocktail Courier offers a Lavender Pastel Rickey that happy hour goers will love. This kit includes two Bacardi Superior Rum (50ML bottles), one Cocktail Courier Blackberry Lavender Syrup Bottle (10 oz.), one lavender stem packet, one lemon, and one of SanPellegrino Limonata. Dark chocolate goes well with lavender so send your happy-hour-goers dark chocolate bars for extra pizazz!
This drink kit screams spring in a box! Pineapple flavors combined with rose notes will give your happy hour goers spring feels, even during winter! This kit contains one Cocktail Courier Pineapple Syrup bottle, one lemon, one can of Q Mixers Club Soda, one Rose Water Dropper Bottle, two gin bottles, and one Cocktail Courier dried rosebuds packet.
The Call Me, Beep Me-Spritz from Cocktail Courier is one of the most fun happy hour gift boxes for employees. The name of this kit alone is intriguing! This box includes one can of sparkling wine, one Cocktail Courier Tonic Syrup, one lemon, one can of Q Mixers Club Soda, and one Cocktail Courier dehydrated orange wheel packet. You can send your employee gourmet popcorn or a charcuterie gift basket for added flair.
Frozen wine slushies are the perfect summer drink! Lush Wine Mix offers fun like frosé, sangria, and strawberry basil lemonade. However, since these mixes do not include alcohol, I would recommend buying the mixes in bulk and then creating a DIY wine slushie basket.
Some ideas for a DIY slushie basket include:
One bottle of wine
One bottle of water
Bar of chocolate
Each mix has enough for nine to ten servings, so you can create four to five wine slushie kits with mini bottles of wine, mini water bottles, and fun chocolate treats.
One of the fun Zoom cocktail party kits is a mojito cocktail mix kit. Crafty Cocktails have crafted mojito boxes that come in all sorts of flavors, such as:
Jasmin Cha Mojito: fuses jasmine green tea and orange blossoms
Tropical Smoke Signal Mojito: combines mango with smoky paprika
Coco Beet Mojeet-O: a concoction of beetroot powder and coconut extract
None of these mixes include alcohol, but rum is often the base alcohol for mojitos.
Cachaca is a popular Brazilian distilled spirit made from fermented sugarcane. You can bring Rio De Janeiro to your happy hour goers with a Cachaca cocktail kit that offers three options:
Caipirinha is Crafty's version of Brazil's national drink with raw sugar and lime
Black Star combines blackberry jam, lime, and green apple
Coco's Assistant will give you a tropical feel with coconut and lime flavors
Cachaca is not included in the box but can be found online or in liquor stores.
Soju is an ancient distilled spirit that is the center of Korea's drinking culture. Often made from rice, wheat, or sweet potatoes, Soju has a clean and fresh finish. Crafty Cocktails has created cocktail kits that capitalize on Soju's simplicity with three kits:
Tropical AF
Seoulgrita
Yogusan
These boxes include unique Korean products like:
Maesil-Korean green plum extract
Milkis-yogurt soda,
Gochuganu-a chili flakes
Ms. Better's Cypress bitters
dehydrated savoy cabbage
Nelson Olive Oil Co.
lemongrass
mint
white balsamic
Blue Monkey Sparkling Papaya
fresh kalamansi
Rosyro Passionfruit syrup
This kit does not include Soju, but the spirit is available online or at a liquor store.
You can deviate from average brunch Bloody Marys and mimosas with a Hair of the Dog-Brunch Cocktail kit. This kit includes three options like:
Screwed-Up mimosa is half mimosa and half screwdriver with elderflower/orange champagne syrup, orange-infused vodka, orange juice, and Rootside Orange bitters
Blood-Ghee Mary blends Ghee infused vodka, blue cheese olives and brine, Maritime Madness Garlic Goodness Hot sauce, and Maldon salt
Remote happy hours bring camaraderie and fun to teams that might not be able to meet in person. Virtual happy hour kits are not only convenient but safe ways to drink together. Happy hour goers can enjoy delicious cocktails without worrying about Ubers or finding rides home. Not to mention, the drink kits can double as care packages or employee appreciation gifts.
