From Care Homes to Cocktails: The Cheeky Swank Story 🍸🎶
Three mates. One dream. And a whole lot of heart.
Cheeky Swank Vodka was born not in a boardroom or some fancy distillery lab, but in the minds of three friends who spent their days working in children’s care – a job that’s as tough as it is rewarding. Long days, emotional moments, and giving everything to help young people build brighter futures. It takes its toll… but it also builds a bond like no other.
That’s where we – Dunc, Emma, and Antony – found ourselves. Good friends, hard grafters, and with one thing in common: when the music was on and the drinks were flowing, the world just felt that little bit better.
But let’s be honest — vodka had a reputation. We all remembered those teenage nights sneaking sips in the park, grimacing through the burn, pretending it was “alright” while silently swearing never again.
We wanted to change that.
We didn’t just want to make vodka. We wanted to fix it.
We set out to create a spirit that people actually love to drink. Something smooth, bold, and full of flavour. No throat burn. No flashbacks to teenage trauma. Just proper, high-quality vodka with character – made right here in the UK, with a cheeky twist.
We started with our favourites: Banoffee Pie, Sherbet Lemon, and Blue Razz – playful, nostalgic, and surprisingly classy (just like us on a good day). Every bottle is crafted with care, distilled to be dangerously smooth, and designed to bring people together – whether you’re mixing a cocktail, shooting it ice cold, or sipping it with your mates and some banging tunes.
Cheeky Swank isn’t just a vodka brand. It’s our story. A story of friendship, of graft, of turning a tough job into a dream gig – and most of all, of making something that brings a smile to people’s faces.
We’re here to prove that vodka doesn’t have to be boring. It doesn’t have to burn. And it definitely doesn’t have to stay stuck in the past.
It just needs to be made right – and made a little cheeky.
Cheers to the good times,
The Cheeky Swank TeamÂ
