From a London dream to a thoroughly Italian, handcrafted idea. This is where the story begins.
Mr. Bubbles makes single-serve craft cocktails, ready to drink, in our 160 ml Bubbles. Every bottle has the same care as a bartender working behind the bar.
Not an industrial product, not a compromise: fresh fruit extracts and quality spirits, ready wherever you feel like drinking them.
It starts with summer seasons behind bar counters. Then, in London, he begins at Garfunkel’s, on the bar. Not a course: one shift after another, watching the hands of people who had been doing it for twenty years. And that is where the passion for the profession is born: bartender.
Verona, 2002
He comes back to Italy and opens his bartending school: teaching Italian bartenders the new techniques and helping mixology in Italy evolve.
And under the name, two words: beverage solutions. Twelve years ahead of time, they describe what was coming. Not a course: the solution to a beverage problem.
the events, since 2002
The cocktail service of Fun & Chic: the drinks and the service at any event, among the first in Italy to do it in white gloves.
Then comes the weekend with three requests and only one Saturday. The problem was never the cocktails: we knew how to make those. It was being in three places at once, and staff doesn’t multiply.
MixingLab, 2008
The school gets a name of its own, MixingLab, and a real place: a bar counter, stools, two back bars full of bottles and a screen for masterclasses. You don’t teach cocktail-making in a classroom with school desks.
Hover over it: under the drawing there’s the real photo.
competing, 2013
From 2009 the international competitions start, one after another, along with the circuit of top-level bartenders: you travel, you watch how others work, you swap trade secrets and make friends with top colleagues. You come home with the bar set higher.
And in competition he doesn’t bring a cocktail, he brings a story: a character, a set, a carefully chosen name. The drink is the ending of the tale, not the content.
Twelve months later, the idea of the bottle is born.
the first one, 2014
A sphere, a white band, the web address on the neck. And on the cap, sealing it, the catering sticker: the bottle leaves sealed with the mark of the service it was born from.
The name comes from the people: they called those spheres bombette, little bowler hats. From there to Bubbles is a short step, and the name catches up with the thing one last time, becoming Mr. Bubbles.
The idea dates back to 2010: four years to get to a bottle you could really serve.
delivery, 2016
The new Fun & Chic website, and inside it a menu nobody else had: craft cocktails to go, chosen online and delivered.
December 2016. Delivery still runs under the catering name.
2018, the new look
The brand changes its look: out go the white band and the catering sticker, and the logo is printed on the front, with the full name.
And then comes the collar: you slip it off and it becomes a coaster. You take home that bit of bar service too. The sphere, though, stays untouched.
Verona, 2018
And the new website goes live, misterbubbles.it.
And the cocktail starts moving on its own: in Verona a guy on a bike brings it to your door, backpack on his shoulders and the logo on his back. Within three months 2night, Bargiornale and L’Arena write about it: the first craft cocktail delivery in Italy.
Craftsmanship is not a production method. It is a promise to the customer.
Fresh fruit extracts and high-quality spirits. Every recipe is the result of years of trials, not of a spreadsheet.
The transparent 160 ml sphere in recycled PET shows the true color of the cocktail. It is why you can spot us from afar.
PET that starts out recycled and can be recycled again. A circle, not an arrow drawn on the label.
Pour it over ice and that’s it. No shaker, no jiggers, nothing to wash afterwards.
Not on the planet either. Bubbles are made of recycled PET, which can become recycled PET again: the loop really closes, with no need to tell it with a green badge.
Order your cocktails in two taps, no hunting around.
