Serves of the State Burst 3: expressions of interest now open
Published on
October 20, 2026

The Serves of the State (SOTS) Burst 3 expression of interest (EOI) form is now live. If you’d like to be part of it, submit your EOI here.
Everything you need to know about taking part is in our info pack, so have a read before you apply.
Key dates
- EOI closes: 6 November
- Participation confirmed by: 20 November
- Burst 3 live: 4 to 28 February 2027
How it works
- Each venue is matched with three distilleries to build its Serves of the State menu, which features three cocktails.
- We’ll aim to keep you away from direct competitors, so every venue gets one light spirit, one dark spirit and one liqueur or “other”.
- You can take part more than once. Distilleries that missed Bursts 1 and 2 will be prioritised, then places are first come, first served, so get your form in early.
- You don’t need a cellar door to participate.
