OUR STORY
We started Trade Eights because we loved a great cocktail, but didn't think enjoying one should require a reservation, a fully stocked bar or ten minutes with a shaker.
So we set out to make the kind of cocktails we wanted to drink ourselves: made with real spirits, real juices, and ingredients you recognize, in flavors that are balanced and distinctive, yet easy to bring anywhere.
THE NAME
What's with the name?
Before Trade Eights was a cocktail company, it was something we did with friends: get together after work, put on some music, pour a drink and trade stories.
The name is a nod to “trading eights,” when musicians take turns improvising eight bars at a time. Different voices, shared rhythm, everyone adding something of their own.
That felt a lot like a great night with friends. And a pretty good name for a cocktail company.
OUR HOME
Born in Seattle
Trade Eights was born in Seattle, and the Pacific Northwest shapes more than our address. It’s in our appreciation for good ingredients, independent thinking, art, music, and the idea that some of the best experiences happen when you get outside and bring your friends along.
We’re proud to be building a cocktail company here; and to share a little of the PNW wherever our cans go.
For Our Love of Pets
At Trade Eights Cocktails, we celebrate friendships, including the unbreakable bonds we have with our pets. Because we believe pets make the world a happier place and we love them like family, we donate a portion of our revenue to animal welfare organizations every year in the communities we serve, including Seattle Humane Society and Idaho Humane Society.
