Swift: Irish Coffee

One of London’s most iconic cocktails, the Irish coffee from Swift is the hot toddy you need this winter. And while you might not be able to visit their Shoreditch or Soho sites, this delivery is bringing the booze home. Balance Jameson whiskey with house-blended filter coffee and nutmeg, before topping with cream for the ultimate merry mix.

Looks like Christmas has come early. 

Fever-Tree: Festive G&T

With a series of festive virtual masterclasses this December, the guys at Fever-Tree are ready to deck your halls with the fizzy stuff. They’ll dispatch boxes filled with ingredients to make 4 themed G&Ts, including Malfy Gin, Smirnoff vodka, mixers, garnishes, bar blades and recipe cards. All you have to do is tune in and mix along.

Doing good: £5 from every ticket goes towards Malaria No More UK.

Shop Cuvee: Rioja Mulled Wine

Store-bought bags of spice mix? Not on our watch. Step away from the stove and wrap your lips around Shop Cuvee’s collection. The North London wine bar pivoted to delivery during lockdown, serving up drinks from the likes of Tayēr + Elementary and Three Sheets. But it’s their Rioja mulled wine that's keeping us warm this winter; slowly steeped with Sicilian white wine, nutmeg, clove, star anise, cinnamon, frankincense, honey, orange and lemon peel.

Mulled wine delivery never looked so good.

Giz N Green: Candy Cane Espresso Martini

Hacha: Mulled Margarita

Pioneer of the mirror margarita, Hacha’s signature cocktail has taken London by storm. Now, the Hackney bar is switching things up with a warming take on the original. Still transparent, but infused with seasonal spices, the mulled margarita is looking every bit as Instagrammable as the first.

Get into the spirit (literally) with a winter sidecar, Christmas in Manhattan or apple rum punch. A smooth take on the classic, the latter is pairing Calvados and Myers’s spiced rum with Cocchi vermouth, apple liqueur and absinthe.

From the bramble negroni and damson Sazerac to this spiced rum old fashioned, there’s something for even the biggest Scrooge.

Alcohol gift delivery in London? This is the perfect pairing with turkey and stuffing.

The Sun Tavern: Hot Ginger Whiskey Punch

Hot toddies are the name of the game at The Sun Tavern. Brewing red wine with vanilla sugar, orange and all the usual spices, the mulled wine is a no-brainer.
