Cocktail Courier - Alcohol CAN be Delivered

Cocktail Courier is a direct-to-consumer brand that delivers expertly crafted cocktail kits nationwide, offering seasonal recipes and gift boxes curated by professional mixologists. As demand grew, so did the complexity—especially given the tight regulatory restrictions around shipping alcohol across multiple state lines.

Cocktail Courier’s primary challenge was ensuring compliance with varying state laws while still providing a seamless, high-quality shopping experience. Customers needed to browse recipes, customize kits, and ship multiple orders to multiple recipients—all within a single transaction. Their previous Magento site lacked the flexibility and infrastructure to support these demands.

QOLOS was brought in to reimagine and rebuild the entire technical stack. This included implementing a new eCommerce platform with multi-recipient checkout, integrating a compliant payment processor, redesigning the CMS for ease of content updates, and streamlining the order fulfillment flow. QOLOS also integrated the system with licensed third-party vendors across the country to ensure fast, compliant delivery.

The result was a powerful, flexible system that gave Cocktail Courier the ability to scale operations, reduce manual work, and confidently deliver premium cocktail kits across the U.S. without compromising compliance or customer experience.
