GRAVESEND, KENT: The Drinks Bureau, a Gravesend-based award-winning ready-to-drink cocktail business, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the Gravesend Gremlin female rugby team for the upcoming 2024-2025 season.
As a female-founded brand, this partnership marks a significant step in The Drinks Bureau’s commitment to supporting the growth of female rugby in the UK.
The Gravesend Gremlin female rugby team, known for their tenacity and team spirit, has been a cornerstone of the local sports community since their formation in 2018. With this sponsorship, the team will receive new kits featuring The Drinks Bureau’s vibrant logo, as well as the weekly sponsorship of the ‘Player of the Match’. The Drinks Bureau will also be hosting post-match events at the team’s clubhouse.
The sponsorship will enable the team to purchase much-needed new equipment, the ongoing support of a physio and ongoing coaching during the season.
The Drinks Bureau’s ready-to-drink cocktails have already earned significant acclaim in the drinks industry, with the Espresso Martini and Spicy Margarita recently winning prestigious Spirits Business Masters Awards at the RTD & Premix Masters and Passion Fruit Martini winning a Silver. Available in a 1.5L bag-in-box format and also 150ml cans, the range also includes the newly launched Lychee Martini, Strawberry Daiquiri, Shirley Temple and the Dirty Shirley. The bag-in-box format, designed for convenience and quality, offers 10 servings per box, ensuring consistent, delicious bar-quality cocktails with every pour. Each cocktail has a 12-month shelf life from production and remains fresh for up to 4 weeks once opened (with no need to refrigerate!)
Frankie Snobel, founder of The Drinks Bureau, said: “We are pleased to announce our sponsorship of the Gravesend Gremlins. Their dedication and passion for rugby align perfectly with our company’s values of teamwork and excellence. A Drinks Bureau cocktail is also the perfect drink to enjoy while watching a game of female rugby. We are excited about what this partnership will bring and look forward to supporting more women’s rugby in the run up to the Rugby World Cup next year in England.”
The captain of the Gravesend Gremlin female rugby team, Rebecca Curtis, said: “Having The Drinks Bureau on board as our sponsor is a game-changer for us. Their support will help us focus and grow as a team and also inspire more women to get involved in the sport – whether that’s watching female rugby with a cocktail in hand or trying out the sport with a local team. The partnership is also a great demonstration of a female-founded business supporting women’s sport and how important this is for female rugby.”
The partnership kicked off officially on the 13th October at The Gravesend Gremlins’ home match, where the team unveiled their new kits and met with local supporters. The new kit proved to be a success with the Gremlins winning their match.
The Drink Bureau’s cocktails are available in select Greene King and Belhaven pubs nationwide as well as Uber Boats, WHSmith’s in 57 UK Train Stations and Heathrow Airport and Amazon.
