The Barker Company and Foster Supply Hospitality debut an exclusive collection of espresso martinis inspired by boutique hotels, fall entertaining—and one delicious Upstate philosophy
SULLIVAN COUNTY, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Foster Supply Hospitality knows a great cocktail can become just as much a reason to travel as a great meal or a beautiful hotel. That's the thinking behind its new partnership with The Barker Company, the award-winning premium cocktail brand co-founded by internationally acclaimed photographer, filmmaker and entrepreneur Nigel Barker and spirits industry veteran Philippe Roederer.
Launching September 10, the collaboration names The Barker Company the Official Espresso Martini Partner of Foster Supply Hospitality, introducing an exclusive collection of signature cocktails across The Arnold House, The DeBruce, Kenoza Hall and Hemlock.
Photos of the collection are here.
While The Barker Company's nationally distributed, award-winning Espresso Martini and Cappuccino Martini serve as the foundation, each Foster Supply property will put its own spin on the cocktails through recipes, finishes and presentations inspired by the personality of the hotel. The Barker Company may be sold nationally, but these versions are decidedly Upstate.
The partnership is a natural fit for Foster Supply, where food and beverage have always been an essential part of the guest experience. The company's motto, "S'More Fun Upstate," is rooted in the idea that some of the best moments in the Catskills happen around a fire, over an exceptional meal or with a great drink in hand.
The collaboration takes that philosophy quite literally with four exclusive S'More Fun Espresso Martinis, each created for a different Foster Supply property:
Hemlock – S'More Fun on the Mountain
The Barker Company Espresso Martini, chocolate bitters, brûléed marshmallow fluff and graham cracker crumble
The DeBruce – S'More Fun in the Forest
The Barker Company Espresso Martini, forest syrup, Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur and Angostura bitters
The Arnold House – S'More Fun Around the Fire
The Barker Company Espresso Martini, mezcal, chocolate, Angostura and orange bitters, finished with Maldon sea salt
Kenoza Hall – S'More Fun by the Lake
A flight of three tiny Barker Company martinis: Classic Espresso, Cinnamon Cappuccino and Vanilla Gelato Affogato
For The Barker Company, the collaboration offers a new way for guests to discover its premium ready-to-pour cocktails—not simply from a bottle or behind a bar, but as part of a larger hospitality experience.
The brand has quickly earned serious credentials in the beverage world. The Barker Company's Cappuccino Martini was named RTD of the Year at the 2026 Bartender Spirits Awards and received a Double Gold Medal and 96 points, while its Espresso Martini earned a Gold Medal and 94 points. Wine Enthusiast awarded the Cappuccino Martini 95 points and the Espresso Martini 93 points.
Co-founder Nigel Barker brings his own considerable creative credentials to the partnership. Best known as an internationally acclaimed fashion photographer, filmmaker and longtime judge on America's Next Top Model, Barker has spent his career at the intersection of fashion, design and popular culture—an aesthetic that carries through The Barker Company.
The September 10 launch will be supported by a celebration at Kenoza Hall on October 17 with Nigel Barker and The Barker Company team.
And the collaboration won't necessarily end when the leaves fall. Foster Supply and The Barker Company are already looking toward winter, with the potential for a S'More Fun on the Slopes après-ski extension at The Belleayre Lodge.
For two brands with Catskills roots, a shared appreciation for design and a belief that food and drink should be part of the experience—not an afterthought—the partnership simply made sense.
