After many a flight and hotel room, the founders of OTR saw an opportunity to bring premium, bar-quality cocktails to the clear skies and night stays. That’s when OTR was born – a new kind of ready to drink cocktail experience, delivering all the complexity and craftsmanship you would find at your local bar, in a convenient bottle. Without the need for multiple ingredients or equipment, the premium spirits and natural flavors in OTR are ready to go wherever you want. So whether you’re flying back home, finishing up the back nine, or need a night back on the couch, let OTR bring the bar to you.

To the Sky
