The MOTH Values

MAXIMUM TOGETHERNESS

Because good times deserve delicious cocktails for people to enjoy together, wherever. Picnic blankets or poker tables. Tuxes or tracksuits. We don’t mind. It’s the company that counts.

PARTICULAR

We’re picky with what we make, how we make it and who we make it with. Every ingredient, sip and word counts. We’re not impulsive. We’re perfectionists. Look after the detales. That’s a joke.

DETERMINED

Like our namesake to a flame we get obsessed. So when it comes to the change we seek, we won’t compromise. We care about people and the planet we share – so we’re on the BCorp ride. And on it for good.

NEVER JUDGING

MOTHs are flexible, can do pockets or pedestals. We can keep it low-key and we can show-off. Not here to tell you how to have fun. Who are we to judge? Let’s face it, we’re all a bit odd.
