Lockdown and social distancing have brought about many changes in our society, some for the better, others for the worse. Unfortunately, the most vulnerable in our society are also the most at risk from an enforced lockdown and stay at home policy. According to the charity Refuge, calls to the National Domestic Abuse Hotline were up 49% in the first three weeks of the ‘lockdown’ period. In response, we have teamed up with a charity that cares for vulnerable children in the UK and who are need of donations and support now, more than ever.
As with many independent businesses we have taken the challenge of this new norm head-on and diversified our offering to ensure we can still continue to do what we love and bring home the bread at the same time, and so, our cocktail boxes were born! It has been great to see so many people enjoying our Cocktail Boxes so far, organising cocktail parties via video call, and buying them as gifts for loved ones. Community spirit is key during a time like this so we are supporting this charity by donating 10% on every cocktail box. Simply enter the coupon code vulnerablechildren during checkout.
Continuing on from our popular Cocktails At Home series on social media, which looks at making cocktails out of easy to find household ingredients, such as red wine, orange squash, and peanut butter, our cocktail boxes offer a different way to make cocktails at home – with all the ingredients you need delivered in a recyclable box.
We wanted to create something that was more than just a pre-made cocktail in a bottle, something that allowed people to learn how to make professional cocktails at home but without waste and a super high cost. As a result, we focussed on creating our cocktail boxes with fully recyclable, or reusable packaging, with just the right amount of ingredients to make 6 of the cocktail of your choice and all you need is some cocktail tools, cubed ice, and a glass to drink it from! If you don’t have any cocktail tools, we can also help you with that if need be.
Inside, you will find the recipe card printed out for you, but we will also send a PDF via email along with the link for the video tutorial. Every step is covered to ensure the process is as easy to learn as possible, and before you know it, you will be making Amarspresso Martinis and Cherry Coolers from memory!
