About Us
The Quest for Excellence
Perfection flows through the entire House. It inspires and guides everything we do, from the creation of our exceptional cocktails to the craftsmanship behind every detail of the Sweet Cocktails experience.
Who could have imagined when Sweet Cocktails was established in 2014, that a visionary introduction at Staunton Harold Hall would bring together Chairman James Murphy and Principal Mixologist Charles Meynell to create a collection of extraordinary cocktails with the potential to be enjoyed around the world.
From that first inspiration grew a shared pursuit of excellence — combining heritage, innovation and artistry to create luxury cocktails that are not only crafted to be savoured, but designed to become unforgettable.

THE TASTING
Our quest for excellence and taste has been constant. Continuity is essential. The House provides benefits for our collaborators.
James Murphy Amoretto Sweet and Sour!
Created by Sweet Cocktails’ Principal Mixologist, Charles Meynell
The James Murphy Amoretto Sweet & Sour was invented and dedicated by Sweet Cocktails’ Principal Mixologist Charles Meynell in honour of Sweet Cocktails’ Chairman, James Murphy.
This exceptional creation recognises James Murphy’s distinguished Royal Air Force (RAF) service and his continued commitment to humanitarian and philanthropic causes.
Among his charitable achievements are a remarkable 100-mile, 37.5-hour non-stop walk in support of Cheshire Homes and the Sue Ryder Trust, raising awareness and support for severely wounded service personnel.
James Murphy was also recognised by Save the Children on 3 October 2019 for his support for families affected by the 9/11 attacks in New York, USA.
That recognition followed his earlier support in the aftermath of the attacks. A Leicester Mercury article published just 36 days after the attacks recorded his donation in support of families affected by the tragedy.
The cocktail represents the values at the heart of Sweet Cocktails: dedication, innovation, generosity and the desire to create something exceptional that can be shared and remembered.
