London UK, UK, United Kingdom SERVED® Full time

The Brand

Co-owned by Ellie Goulding, SERVED has quickly become one of the fastest growing ready-to-drink brands in the UK, with Heineken acquiring a significant minority stake in September 2023.


The SERVED range includes award winning ready-to-drink cocktails and hard seltzers, made using only the finest natural and sustainably sourced ingredients, wonky fruit, and premium spirits.


Since launching in July 2020, SERVED has recorded triple digit growth year-on- year with 2024 growth forecast to exceed this.


SERVED is now available in 8,000+ distribution points (and growing) across the UK including Tesco, Morrisons, WHSmith, Ocado, Co-Op, Booker, Shell, Little Waitrose, Budgens, multiple retail forecourts and many others.


The UK RTD category has grown 47.5% in the last five years and was worth £866m in 2022. The ready-to-drink cocktail category grew by an astonishing 24% last year, as consumers look to enjoy high-quality cocktails in a convenient and sustainable format, a trend that shows no signs of slowing down.
