Hard Rock Cocktails continues its rapid UK expansion with another major distribution milestone: a new partnership with AF Blakemore, a highly respected name with 100 years of experience in the industry.

 

Known for its expertise, tailored food solutions, quality products and exceptional service, AF Blakemore supports businesses with an extensive portfolio of over 5,000 products from market-leading brands. Covering chilled, ambient, frozen and catering supplies, their broad and flexible range makes them an ideal partner to help bring Hard Rock Cocktails to a wider audience.

AF Blakemore’s multi-temperature band delivery capability sets them apart in the sector, allowing chilled, frozen and ambient products to be delivered together in one efficient drop. This ensures Hard Rock Cocktails arrive in the perfect condition, maintaining quality, freshness and the premium experience that consumers expect from the iconic brand.

This new listing builds on Hard Rock Cocktails’ mission to make its legendary ready-to-drink range more accessible across the UK. Inspired by the world-famous cocktails served in Hard Rock Cafes worldwide, each Hard Rock Cocktail delivers vibrant, bar-quality flavour in a stylish, convenient can. Whether served at events, in hospitality venues, or as part of an on-the-go offering, the range captures the unmistakable energy, spirit and attitude of the Hard Rock lifestyle.
