MD Matt Faulkner on Swift & Moore, Drinks Trade and the Future
We're bringing our world- beating capabilities and understanding of Australian crafted coffee to bars; whether it be in the form of a carefully crafted spirts such as our internationally awarding Coffee Vodka or our ground-breaking Onyx Espresso Martini on tap or in a jar.
Since 2012 we have invented, disrupted, innovated and ‘ground out’ a new standard of coffee for the liquor industry in Australia. We have aided the evolution of coffee spirits and now have a responsibility to champion the continued education of the market, venues and consumers alike.

As the tale goes, a pretty blonde lass was sitting by the bar at the Soho Brasserie in London. With her eyes, she coaxed the bartender over and said ‘I need something to wake me up and f**k me up’.

Onyx does World Negroni Week
The term reinvention is thrown around too much in our business. In fact, we'd prefer to say we've taken an all-time classic and just kissed it with our trademark Onyx Cold Brew.
