Sangria typically reminds us of summertime in Spain. For Nick and I, it reminds us very specifically of a delicious dinner in a locally ran restaurant situated down a side street of Barcelona, one hot evening in July 2012.

When we discovered ‘autumn sangria’ was a thing, therefore, we were quite dubious of whether it would work.

We love autumn, the season of crunchy leaves, hot chocolates (boozy or non), open fires and nights in. The comforting process of hunkering down mixed with anticipation of the festive season to come. It’s just magical, especially when you combine it with Harry Potter movie nights with your besties.

Here are a few quotes that we’ve loved so far this autumn.

Autumnal and celebratory, this glass of fall fizz looks as special as it tastes. For those who like to add a little something to their fizz, I think this cocktail would make a perfect autumn alternative to a mimosa.

The flavours are delicate, not overpowering, and if you’ve got a cocktail stick to hand at the end then plum slices are yummy too!

This recipe has whiskey in it, but trust me, even if you aren’t a whiskey drinker (I am not!), if you like blackberry and honey flavours, then you will still love this cocktail! If you are a whiskey drinker, then you may prefer this cocktail with a standard whiskey rather than honey flavoured one, it will give it more of a whiskey bite and be slightly less sweet.

I would recommend making a larger batch of the blackberry honey syrup because trust me you’ll want more than one of these! Just multiply the syrup recipe to make more.

If you’ve seen our other autumn cocktail recipes, then you’ll know I said how addicted I am to the blackberry honey bourbon smash, but, this cocktail may possibly even trump that one.

I love a cosmo, and I think there is something really comso-esque about this one, but with an autumn, sloe gin twist, so if you love a cosmo too, then I think you’re going to like this one as much as me!

It’s that time of year again, crunchy golden leaves, spectacular orange sky sunsets, fresh morning air, cosy evenings and a turning point for flavours, where seasonal favourites start to fill our dinner tables and our glasses.

We are massively inspired by the nature around us, what’s in season and how we can incorporate that into our drinks. From picking blackberries from our field hedgerows to filling baskets with fresh apples and plums, there is something so satisfying about the harvest season.

This rhubarb gin cocktail has some Moscow Mule vibes with its ginger, lime, and mint, but the rhubarb gin gives it a special twist, so if you like a Moscow Mule, and you love anything rhubarb flavoured (like me), you’re going to love this one!

It’s been a while since our original funny alcohol quotes article, and since then we’ve got a whole lot more so we had to bring you an update on some more funny quotes we’ve been sharing over on the gram.

Please feel free to save and share these - if you share them on social do tag us, we’d love to see! 😀

Rhubarb: Goood.

Gin: Goood.

Fizz: Gooooood.

I’m not sure this one really needs any introduction, the name says it all. Delicious sweet and fizzy, this cocktail is truly scrumptious. It also makes a fantastic wedding welcome drink on a warm summer’s day.

Summer and early Autumn are all about sipping light, refreshing drinks outside in the early evening sunshine, and this Apple Gin Spritz is perfect for just that.

This cocktail is easy drinking and deliciously sweet but with the cut-through from the apple and lemon to balance it out. We’ve recommended 25ml of gin but you could go 50ml if you prefer something stronger, and you can also customise yours with the choice of either Prosecco or tonic to top up with.

So, you’re engaged (congratulations!), and now you’re trying to figure out all the different elements involved in making your wedding day the best it can possibly be. Each individual wedding day cog has its own subset of options and decisions to be made. We’re here today to help you with the bar part.

The bar is an important element of your wedding day and one with the ability to vastly add to making your day special.

Let’s face it, we’re in the UK, and so despite all of our combined wishing and hoping, many of our ‘summer’ days happen to be rainy. Despite this, in between the rain showers, we do also get to enjoy some sunny, and actually rather hot, days.

On these days of glorious sunshine, it is our mission and duty to soak up every single second and enjoy them as wholly as possible, and what better way to add to the joy of a sunny summer’s day than with a delicious, and slightly indulgent iced coffee?

If you’ve seen our other autumn cocktail recipes, then you’ll know I said how addicted I am to the blackberry honey bourbon smash, but, this cocktail may possibly even trump that one.

I love a cosmo, and I think there is something really comso-esque about this one, but with an autumn, sloe gin twist, so if you love a cosmo too, then I think you’re going to like this one as much as me!

There are many types of wedding where you will need to hire in a mobile event bar. You might be hiring a marquee and having your wedding on your own farm, or using a DIY venue such as a barn or country house, or perhaps you are having your reception at a local hall. Whatever the venue might be, you want to make sure you get yourself a great mobile bar. Read our ultimate checklist today.

You may have noticed that we love a good cocktail, but there are times when, for a variety of reasons, you need a great mocktail instead.

It could be that you are the designated driver, or maybe you over-indulged slightly the night before, or perhaps you just don’t drink. Whatever the reason, that doesn’t mean you want to miss out on the fun drinks, and with that in mind, we’ve got these 5 easy and delicious summer mocktail recipes for you to try.

These spring cocktails would make fantastic welcome drinks at a spring wedding, both the colours and the flavours are simply perfect for the season. We’ve included a selection of different spirits so that there’s something for everyone, from tequila to rum, gin, and vodka!

Don’t forget we can provide cocktails like these and many others as part of our mobile bar hire service in the South West of England, covering Devon, Somerset, Cornwall, Dorset and beyond!

Isolation has us in a reflective mood. We’ve always known why we love doing what we do, but the global event that we are currently experiencing, that is forcing us all to stop, reflect and take stock of our lives has really made us hone in on the feelings and meaning behind what we do and why we do it.

It is easy, in our fast-paced, digital, 21st-century world to, without even realising, disconnect from what is real, from what it is to be alive and to live on this beautiful rock that our ancestors named ‘Earth’.

Easter is a time of indulgence, and not just on the food front. Of course, we too will eat our body weight in mini eggs and enjoy a hot cross bun or six, but we also love playing with cocktail recipes at this time of year, too!

When we think of Easter we think two things, Chocolate and more chocolate, so our cocktail recipes embrace the theme wholeheartedly, with the exception of one, which is inspired by the classic Simnel cake.

So, you’re planning a DIY wedding. Firstly, congrats on your engagement! What an exciting time this is for you, and by choosing a DIY wedding, you will have lots of decisions to make and details to plan right now, which is all part of the fun!

The bar is one of those details, and so to help you we thought we’d share our top reasons why opting for a professional mobile bar is the very best option for your big day.
