Kickbacks
The Kickbacks Story
We started with one mission: make the world's first shot-and-chaser combo, bringing the pre-game on the go.
Easy. Quick. Social.
Tired of the options for portable alcohol, our founders made their own.
Learn more about our story below.
From a concert to a bottle
Last year, Max went to a concert at the Stanford Ampitheater, and brought shooters to enjoy a buzz while listening to the music.
After struggling to take shots of 99-proof alcohol or a malt-cinnamon whiskey, he wished he had the tequila and lime combo from his rooftop pregame in San Francisco.
He approached Sam with the idea: a shot-and-chaser which recreates the pregame on-the-go, while still giving you the buzz he was looking for.
