Bars & restaurants are opening on the 4th of July and we couldn’t be more excited! Whilst we’ve loved seeing all the creative and innovative ways people have kept the industry alive, bars and restaurants have suffered greatly, opening their doors again and getting people back to work will be monumental, we hope you will all be supporting your locals as much as we will be!
Here’s a snapshot update of what we’ve been up to this past month:
We started working with Kolibri Drinks, launching their new CBD-infused alcohol-free drinks, helping people find the calm in the chaos, especially poignant in current times. Complete with their patented Smart Cap technology they ensure you control your dose. Launching in two flavours, Dark Forest and Citrus Grove, available from Holland and Barrett.
Kolibri Drinks are also hosting a free online retreat on Sunday 5th July, helping you combat feelings of stress and enjoy some ‘me-time’. Hosted by Kamila Sitwell (CEO of Kolibri Drinks) and Elaine Grundy (founder of The Reiki Centre and author of ‘Reiki – A Path to Freedom’), with Elaine introducing the power of Reiki and creative manifesting and Kamilla discussing how to find the calm in the chaos

BrewDog Distilling Co. called on the renegade rum-lover with the launch of limited edition Distiller’s Cut rum, a barrel aged spiced rum. Aged in Oloroso sherry casks with bold flavours of blood orange peel and spiced botanicals. Ever the maverick, head distiller Steven Kersley breaks the mould by combining the flavour properties of spiced and sherry-cask rum; a ground-breaking concept and we can vouch that it tastes delicious, loaded with blood orange flavours and spice.
We celebrated National Martini Day in style with the effortlessly stylish Kavka vodka – vodka ‘how it used to taste’. Pro tip for the ultimate Martini from Jan Woroniecki, owner of Kavka vodka - deep freeze your vodka and use a chilled martini glass to allow the flavour profile to subtly change as the martini warms up.
With summer in full swing, we’re bringing our summer hols closer to home by perfecting our Margarita-making skills with Corte Vetusto mezcal. If we close our eyes, it *almost* feels like we’re in Oaxaca, Mexico! Try out the Tommy’s Vetusto Margarita recipe below:
· 50ml Corte Vetusto Espadín
· 25ml fresh lime juice
· 10ml agave syrup (or sugar syrup)
· A lime for garish
Shake hard all the ingredients over cubed ice, until the outer shaker is covered in frost. Strain over cubed ice into a rocks glass and garnish with a lime. ¡Salud!
