Our Koque-Tale Products
What is a Koque-Tale mix?
A Koque-Tale mix is a carefully crafted combination of natural dry ingredients designed to be infused in the alcohol of your choice. Each mix contains freeze-dried fruits, spices, herbs, and other botanical ingredients that, once infused, create a unique artisanal cocktail.
How are your recipes developed?
Our recipes are born from the desire to craft top-notch cocktails using innovative methods. Each mixture undergoes rigorous testing and refining to achieve a harmonious blend of flavors and an outstanding tasting journey.
Where do your ingredients come from?
We strive to source our ingredients locally as much as possible, favoring Canadian company's. For exotic ingredients, we select reputable suppliers who share our values of quality and sustainability.
Do your products contain additives or preservatives?
No, our Koque-Tale mixes are 100% natural and contain no artificial additives or preservatives. The preservation of our products is ensured by the dehydration and freeze-drying process of the ingredients.
How do you guarantee the quality of your products?
Each Koque-Tale batch undergoes rigorous quality control. We test the flavor, aroma, and appearance of every blend before approval. To ensure optimal freshness and quality, each sachet is sealed and equipped with a desiccant packet, protecting our premium ingredients from moisture and maintaining their integrity until they reach your glass. Our attention to detail extends to every aspect of packaging and preservation, ensuring your Koque-Tale experience is always exceptional.

How are your new products tested?

Each product goes through multiple rounds of testing, where we carefully collect feedback and refine our recipes accordingly. This collaborative approach ensures that every Koque-Tale mix meets both our high standards and our customers' expectations for an optimal drinking experience.
Using Koque-Tale Kits
What type of liquor should I add ?
While we provide recommended pairings, we encourage you to experiment with your preferred spirits. Each product page includes suggested alcohol combinations to help guide your choice and ensure the best possible results. Feel free to explore and discover your own perfect match!
Can I infuse my kit a second time ?
For a second infusion, you must first strain and remove the liquid from your first infusion. Immediately return the strained solid ingredients to the container, and repeat the infusion process with either your choice of alcohol or hot water. Important: The second infusion can only be done right after straining your first infusion – if you wait too long or discard the ingredients, a second infusion won't be possible. While the second infusion might be slightly lighter in flavor, it still offers a delightful taste experience. If you have questions, don't hesitate to reach us :)
What if I want to serve the entire jar at once?
Pour the ready infusion into a pitcher or punch bowl. Add 24 ounces of your favorite mixer (like soda, juice, tonic, etc.), mix well, and then serve.
What if I want to serve individual Koque-Tale ?
Combine 1- 1.5 oz of filtered infusion with a mixer of your choosing (soda, juice, tonic, etc.) or try it in one of our suggested recipes.
How long will a kit will last once liquor is added ?
Before Infusion:
Our mixes, being composed of dry ingredients, have a shelf life of 3 months when stored in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
After Infusion:
We recommend a specific infusion time of 24-48 hrs. Once infused, filter and store in the refrigerator for up to 15 days to use in your cocktails. We suggest this timeframe to maintain the initial infusion quality.
Can I mix the entire jar in a pitcher and enjoy throughout the week ?
IIt is strongly advised to mix drinks individually when serving. While the infusion itself keeps well, freshness of juices and carbonated mixers is best maintained when mixed just before serving. This ensures the optimal taste experience, as carbonated drinks are most enjoyable when freshly opened.
How do I make zero proof Koque-Tale ?
We are pleased that you inquired! Our kits can be used in various ways with or without alcohol. Fill the container with warm (not boiling) water, cover, and let it cool. Once it has cooled down, shake thoroughly and then filter. Combine 1.5 oz. with a mixer of your choosing (like juice, soda, tonic, etc.) or try it in one of our non-alcoholic recipes.
How long will a kit last prior to infusion
Our products are dry and have a long shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place. However, we recommend consuming within 3 months after opening to ensure optimal infusion quality.
