In September 2024, Beringea UK led a £4.6m growth round into MOTH - the nation’s leading ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail brand. Founded in 2021 by Rob Wallis and Sam Hunt, the company set out to make bar-quality cocktails as easy to enjoy as a can of beer or a glass of wine. Working with award-winning spirit partners, MOTH combines quality, flavour, and convenience in every serve.
In the four years since its foundation, MOTH has quickly become the UK’s fastest-growing premium RTD cocktail brand. What began with the idea of bottling the perfect Old Fashioned has grown into a curated range of ten cocktails, now available in over 3,000 supermarkets nationwide. With a can sold every seven seconds, MOTH has firmly established itself as a category leader.
The brand’s rise has been driven by smart distribution and partnerships. From its first national rollout with Waitrose to listings in Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrisons, and ASDA, MOTH has expanded rapidly. With a 41% share of the UK premium RTD off-trade market and a CAGR of 178% over two years, MOTH is now a household name in the premium drinks sector.
