Drinks To Door: London’s Best Cocktail Deliveries

With the end of lockdown still seeming nowhere near sight, I figured that it’s finally time to put together my list of essential cocktail deliveries in London. But I’m not just talking any old companies, these are the bucket list bars that you’ll find me in all through the year. While I’m counting down the days until I can make my boozy return, check out the cream of the crop right here.

You’re welcome… 🍸

Deli Cat & Sons

The newest addition to The Initiative’s collection of hotel hangouts, Deli Cat & Sons is located at Locke Hotels’ Broken Wharf outpost. While the venue’s closed, they’ve pivoted to grocery delivery, virtual supper clubs +pre-batched cocktails. Think Negronis, Old Fashioneds + twists on classics.

Available here.

Swift

My favourite bar in the whole of London, Swift has finally entered the cocktail delivery game. Their infamous Irish Coffee is available as a kit, while pre-batched spritzes + punches are priced at £28 for 7-10 serves (depending on the drink).

Available here.

Lyaness

Strictly speaking, Mr Lyan’s cocktails predate Lyaness (though the bar has a bottled collab with Empirical). But since he’s the face of the bar – and almost pre-batches drinks themselves – this slick bottled selection should be on your list. I’m talking Manhattans and Martinis with a gin, lime, almond + grapefruit-infused Diamond Rickey.

Available here.

Scout

It took me a while to get down Scout after it relocated from Shoreditch to Hackney, but the visit was well worth a trip. I’ll be reliving my date with one of their at-home concoctions from Shop Cuvee; there’s the Super Soaker, Ristretto Negroni and this Tropical Old Fashioned just to name a few.

Available here.

The Sun Tavern

Is it a bar? Is it a pub? The Sun Tavern’s got a little bit of everything. Hell, they even ordered me pizza the last time I was down. The east London spot has its hatch open, with all kinds of drinks for collection and delivery. Get yourself a Quarantini Kit and keep your lockdown on lock.

Available here.

Three Sheets

For years, Three Sheets was at the top of my London bar bucket list. While it’s still one of the best around, standards have slightly slipped here and there. Hopefully, one of their drinks deliveries can set things straight with pre-batches ensuring that quality. No trip here is complete without a French 75, so make this one of your lockdown essentials.

Available here.

Coupette

Quite possibly the best bar in Bethnal Green, Coupette is always the spot for a good time in east London. While you can’t pull up a stool just yet, you can buy a cocktail bundle for drinks at home. Make your own Harvard Drop Out using bottles from The Whisky Exchange’s Bring The Bar Home range.

Available here.

Tayer + Elementary

Another bar that’s available via Top Cuvee’s online shop, Tayer + Elementary is knocking out Bergamot Margaritas, Palo Santo Gimlets and a whole load of other boozy bottles. Sure, you might be missing Tata Eatery’s katsu sando, but the drinks will more than make up for that.

Available here.

Callooh Callay

One of the first bars to jump on the drinks delivery train, Callooh Callay has been dispatching beers, wines, prosecco and even pies while we’re social distancing. Take your pick from Bloody Marys, Peachy Coolers and classics like the Negroni or Old Fashioned.

Available here.
