High end bars and restaurants are pre-mixing and funnelling cocktails into bottles. The trend is arguably the best thing to come out of isolation! As restrictions ease we are silently crossing our fingers and hoping this trend sticks around for the long run. Places like Bar Rochford and Italian & Sons have found local bottle’o stockists to support their pre-mixed creations. Check out the lengthy list:
High Jinks
High Jinks @ Home range includes three bangin’ cocktails, two sizes. Each snazzy bottle comes with vacuum sealed garnish and that sexy block of ice! Jump on their website to place an order and have it delivered to your door.
