It’s been a while and it’s time to show you all a snippet, of what we have been up to. 📸

Our new range of “Reception” bars have been popping up at weddings galore this spring and summer, blending into beautiful Georgian homes, Sailcloth tents & village halls.

We have 4 x of these units now which means up we can accommodate even the largest indoor events, from a modular set up.

We encourage these bars as our main offering in our wedding bar & cocktail packages too.

Please get in touch if you have a wedding date booked and you’d like to leave the drinks service to the experts, we love challenges and the big day buzz.

Bees Knees 🐝

As we are fully in the middle of I think it would be a disservice to all of you discerning followers, to NOT share this beautiful cocktail this fine Wednesday.

Here we have, the Bee’s Knee’s. A cocktail that was created in 1936 by Frank Meier, Austrian born head bartender of the Ritz Paris… wow. 🇦🇹

We’ve added a splash of orange juice to the original to increase the volume slightly and increase the quaff ability!! 🕺🥂

Here’s how we do it ✔️

Ingredients🍸

▪️Gin
▪️Honey
▪️Lemon Juice
▪️Orange Juice

Method ✏️

1️⃣Start by adding ice to a coupe glass to chill.

2️⃣Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker, filled 2 thirds of the way with ice.

3️⃣ Close the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10/12 seconds.

4️⃣Discard the ice from the coupe glass & double strain the cocktail into the glass.

5️⃣Garnish the cocktail by placing an orange twist on the rim of the glass. Serve.

We will be rocking these cocktails out this year at our events, so why don’t you get in on the action!!

“East 8 Hold Up”

Here’s our version of the classic, which is available NOW on our brand new 2026 private events and wedding cocktail menus!!

This cocktail was birthed from the mind of Kevin Armstrong, whilst he was the head bartender at the London site of LEGENDARY bar, Milk & Honey. 🍼🍯

Rumour has it, that a pal of his Sam Jeveons, was held up in an attempted mugging when he was peeing against a wall after being dropped off in a taxi on Londons’ East 8 area. The mugger stepped on his trousers and demanded his wallet, but Sam managed to chase him away whilst his pants were around his ankles.

A bizarre source for cocktail inspiration but an entertaining one nonetheless.

The cocktail is for lovers of bitter sweet & refreshing flavours & of course, the Pornstar Martini. 🍸

Ingredients🍸

▪️Vodka
▪️Aperol
▪️Passionfruit liqueur
▪️Pineapple juice
▪️Lime juice
▪️Sugar syrup

Method ✏️

1️⃣Start by adding all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice.

2️⃣Shake and double strain the cocktail over ice, in a rocks glass

3️⃣ Garnish with a bouquet of mint and a passion fruit half

4️⃣Enjoy the delicious creation

We will be rocking these cocktails out this year at our events, so why don’t you get in on the action!!

A first birthday party, but EXTRAordinary… 🎉🎈

Back in November, we were proud to be part of Amaira in Wonderland, an Alice in Wonderland–themed 1st birthday for a very special girl 🐇🎩

The brief was to provide a 10/10 bar service 🍸 for 140 guests, serving cocktails, mocktails, and standard drinks from the very first sip to the early hours 🕺💃

We were asked to incorporate an Alice in Wonderland theme throughout the visual bar, menu design, and of course, the cocktails & mocktails too! ✨

So we:

Created a custom design 🎨 and produced panels to fit two of our 2m reception bar sections

Produced custom menu prints 🖼️ with the same design to display the delicious cocktails and mocktails

Wrote a bespoke cocktail menu 🥂 themed around multi-coloured drinks 🌈

Set up in the venue the night before 🛠️ to allow for a seamless event service on the day

Kept drinks service rocking non-stop 🎶 until the very end ⏰

Our client, , was over the moon 🌙 with how the bar looked and the cocktail service on the evening — every second of the hard work was worth it ✨

What do you reckon… do you have a themed party in mind 🎭, and could it be elevated by a customised cocktail bar service? (We think so 😉)

✨ 2026 is here, and we are ready. ✨

Last year we were fortunate enough to really step up our mobile bar offerings, it was a year to focus the business astutely on the larger scale events like weddings and corporate events, which has allowed us to move into new markets. 🍾💍

Although we didn’t deliver as many smaller private hire cocktail events, like in previous years, we would love to bring up the volume of those events once again so keep your eyes peeled for some new and revised cocktail party package deals!! 👀🍸

We added 3 x new 2m mobile bars to the fleet which we designed and built in house, through the lens of a cocktail bartender who needed to maximise functionality, speed of service and efficiency during set up. This was all while remembering the importance of aesthetics, building customisable panelled bar systems that looks like ornate furniture, at home in any premium setting. 🛠️✨

Looking into this year, we will grow our team to incorporate more permanent members, bring up our smaller private events volume, focus on building new wedding bars and further expanding our offering into the wedding market & to get out into more public facing events to spread the brand!! 🚀🥂

From Alice in wonderland themed 1st birthdays for 140 people, lunch for 200 in Belsay, corporate summer parties for 300, a Nissan EV launch, making partnerships with local venues like or a garden cocktail party for 30 people, our focus is always the same;

✨ To allow you, to create your own, quality hospitality experience wherever you want, without lifting a finger. ✨

2026 is looking huge already, our wedding calendar is already double what it was in 2025 and we are only on January the 9th - If you are thinking about booking, please think about it now!! 📅💥

As always, thanks for the support & we hope to celebrate with you this year. 🖤🥂
