Less waste.
More purpose.
Better drinks.

At Hotsy Totsy, sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a craft.
The same care we put into our cocktails, we also put into the way we treat our ingredients, our tools, and the world around us. Behind the scenes, every decision is intentional, every process is designed to minimise waste, and every detail is a chance to do things smarter.

A sustainable bar is a smart bar

For us, sustainability isn’t about perfection — it’s about intention. Every choice we make helps create a bar that’s kinder to the environment without compromising on creativity or guest experience. Sustainability is not a separate project. It’s simply how we operate.

We work with minimal waste

Our prep philosophy is simple: if an ingredient still has potential, we find a way to use it. Citrus peels, herbs, spices, fruits — nothing gets discarded without a second thought. We dry, preserve, or repurpose almost everything that enters the bar.

We create long -
lasting ingredients

Instead of relying on fragile, short-lived components, we prepare syrups, infusions, cordials, and batches that stay fresh longer and reduce unnecessary spoilage. This allows us to maintain both consistency and environmental responsibility.

If something can’t be used today, it’s transformed for tomorrow

Unused ingredients are dehydrated, fermented, or converted into garnishes and powders. What others might throw away becomes a new layer of flavour in your glass.

We repair — not replace

Even our glassware gets a second life. If a glass has a minor chip, we don’t toss it. We polish and restore it so it can return to service safely. It’s a small gesture, but multiplied over hundreds of glasses, it makes a real impact.

Reusable, washable coasters

Instead of disposable paper coasters, we use durable plastic ones that can be washed and reused indefinitely — drastically reducing waste and keeping hundreds of paper stacks out of the bin every month.
