Nestled in the heart of the Hudson Valley, The Cocktail Architect was founded by mixologist Yusef Austin and Ayurveda spicologist Nandini Austin. This dynamic duo, who met while working in NYC’s luxury boutique hospitality scene, blends global travel, diverse cultures, and rich heritage into their cocktail creations.

Their journey has taken them from high-profile events to intimate gatherings, consulting worldwide and designing unique drink menus. As brand ambassadors, they've drawn inspiration from their experiences to craft cocktails that ignite the senses and foster connection.

Their premium artisan mixers reflect their values of authenticity, creativity, and culture. At The Cocktail Architect, we provide not just mixers but a toolkit for unforgettable experiences, empowering you to craft and elevate any occasion.

Yusef and Nandini  made everything easy for us and they were a pleasure to work with. Not only did they perfect the best drinks for our influencer partnership event but they took the initiative to drop off the kits personally.
