Hoste Made
Your Vision, Our Craft
Where great cocktail products come to scale.
Hoste is a R&D lab, cocktail venue, and licensed production facility in one. Built by people who started in cocktail bars and have now created and scaled dozens of commercial products in the spirits space. We have the taste, the expertise, and the resources to make exceptional products from the jump.

- One facility, three functions: R&D lab, cocktail venue, and production space, so clients work with a team embedded in Chicago's hospitality world, not just a co-packer
