🥃 New drop: The Cocktail Pour Cost Calculator

The Excel sheet bar owners pay $5K to have built. Now $47.

We just shipped the tool we use ourselves at Costa Spirits to cost cocktails for our accounts across Florida and Latin America. It's now live — in English and Spanish.


What it does: Build your ingredient list once. Cost any cocktail in seconds. Change a single bottle price and every recipe using it reprices itself instantly. Pour cost %, margin, profit per drink — live, color-coded, and brutally honest.


What's inside:

  • 6-tab Excel calculator (Mac & Windows)

  • 37 pre-loaded ingredients with auto cost-per-oz

  • 12 cocktail cards ready to edit

  • 135 classic + modern cocktail recipe database (filterable)

  • Conditional formatting flags problem drinks (green/yellow/red)

  • Bilingual — both English and Spanish files included


🎁 First 100 buyers only: Wholesale discount to Cocktail Kingdom — same pricing the pros pay on bar tools, glassware, jiggers, mixing tins. This perk alone pays for the calculator several times over. Once 100 are claimed, it's gone.


Who needs this:

✅ Bar owners flying blind on numbers

✅ Managers building or repricing menus

✅ Bartenders quoting events and catering

✅ Brand founders costing batched cocktails


No subscription. No login. No expiration. One file, one purchase, lifetime use.

$29.95. Lifetime access.

⏰ First 100 wholesale spots go quickly — move fast.

Welcome to The Shift Change


We're Costa Spirits — a craft spirits distributor operating across Florida and Latin America. We work with bars, restaurants, hotels, and brands from Miami to Costa Rica, Mexico, and beyond.


We built The Shift Change for the people we work with every day: bartenders, managers, owners, and the next generation trying to break in. Everything we teach here, we've lived — opening bars, building brands, moving product, and scaling teams across two regions.


A quick intro from the founder —

I'm Tommy Soler. I've spent 15 years in this industry as a bartender, operator, and now distributor. I started Costa Spirits to bring better liquid to the markets I love, and I started The Shift Change to share what took me a decade to learn the hard way.

If you're behind a bar, running one, or building something of your own — we want to know you.
