Our take
Moth is a rapidly growing brand that specialises in ready-to-drink cocktails. Launched in 2021, the company has quickly captured over 40% of this market in the UK, offering a convenient cocktail experience for those seeking bar-quality drinks without the hassle of mixing them.
The brand is expanding into the US market after successful launches in Massachusetts and Florida, with plans to also open its first US office. Moth's cocktails are already available in over 3,000 UK supermarkets and they sell at a remarkable rate of one can every seven seconds - a success they aim to replicate overseas.
To help achieve this, Moth recently secured substantial funding which supports expansion plans. With annual revenue rising by 200% in 2022 and 150% in 2023, the brand is certainly well-positioned for a future of success.
