MOTH, one of the UK’s fastest growing RTD brands, selling one can every 5 seconds, has partnered with YO!, the UK’s #1 sushi brand to launch its premium cocktails in a little black can across the chain’s restaurants nationwide.
Rolling out across all UK YO! locations, including Selfridges sites in London, Manchester and Birmingham, the bar-quality serves are available at £6.50, alongside suggested pairings designed to complement the brand’s fresh and flavoursome Japanese food.
The MOTH x YO! range includes:
Negroni (125ml) 14.9% ABV
Gin, Vermouth, Amaro
Enigmatic and floral. Punchy and bitter. Slips in your travel bag. Perfect at sunset. Or sunrise, if you’re happy to talk forever. Made with Tarquin’s Cornish Gin and Asterley Bros Amaro.
YO! pairing: Salmon or Tuna Nigiri – two sushi rice blocks topped with salmon or tuna
Spicy Margarita (125ml, 14.9% ABV)
Tequila, chilli, triple sec, lime
Fresh. Sharp. Hot. Tequila on the mic. Chilli on your lip. A tongue-tingler (like a zig-ah-zig-ah). Want more heat? Spice up that glass rim – you rebel rebel.
YO! pairing: Dynamite roll – creamy avocado, cucumber and carrot, rolled in crispy onions and topped with spicy salmon
Espresso Martini (125ml) 14.9% ABV
Vodka, Cold Brew, Coffee Liqueur
Count on this to open your eyes. Smooth, bitter, balanced. Likes a glass icy enough to write your name on. Goes with anything sweet, like a lover. Perfect with your favourite playlist. Made with Wood Brothers Vodka.
YO! pairing: Little Moons Chocolate Mochi – chocolate truffle ganache in a light mochi rice casing.
Ali Mather, head of on trade at MOTH, said: “YO! is all about big flavours and a sense of fun, which makes it a natural fit for MOTH. We wanted to show how our cocktails in a little black can are just as delicious with food, and this new partnership gives people an easy way to enjoy a bar-quality serve in a format that fits seamlessly into the YO! experience.”
Lauren Crozier, the marketing director at YO!, said: “We’re always looking for ways to evolve the YO! experience, and bringing in MOTH gives our guests access to premium cocktails in a quick, convenient format. The suggested pairings are a simple way to explore new flavour combinations across the menu.”
The partnership reflects growing demand for high-quality, bar-strength cocktails in casual dining, as drinkers look for convenience without compromising on taste.
As a proud B Corp, MOTH’s full range includes 12 ready-to-go serves – each presented in a fully recyclable can and made with award-winning spirits. Every ingredient is the best of the best, every sip is delicious, and the cocktails can be enjoyed anywhere. No faff and no mixing required.
