Before last year, you might have been someone that was prone to partying and making the most of the London nightlife. However, this will not have been possible over the past twelve months, with all of your favourite bars and pubs having closed due to the lockdown restrictions. This does not necessarily mean that you will have had to stop having fun – it just means that you need to change your course of action. Here at Alcotraz, we are firmly of the belief that you should give online cocktail ordering online; if you need any convincing of this, take a look at our thoughts below.

Priced Reasonably

One of the main reasons that people cite when asked as to why it is that they have avoided using a cocktail delivery service, is in relation to the price. A popular misconception is that these pre-mixed drinks are extortionate from a price perspective – we are pleased to inform you that this could not be further from the truth. Whilst the overall costs might be slightly more than it would be if you were making the cocktail at home from scratch, the convenience that this offers you, and the time that it can save you, will certainly outweigh this negative.

Delicious Flavours

When you are attempting to follow a cocktail recipe in the comfort of your own home, you might find that the final outcome is a little further away from the taste that you would have enjoyed in a dedicated cocktail bar. As you would expect, this is because you do not have the equipment or knowledge that is possessed by seasoned mixologists. Should you want to make sure that your taste buds aren’t forced to endure a sub-par experience, it could be worthwhile looking into the possibility of buying expertly-crafted cocktails.

Quick And Convenient

Whilst you may not be adverse to the possibility of creating your own cocktail, the issue that might cause you the most bother is in relation to the sheer amount of time that you must spend making them. This can certainly ruin the relaxing atmosphere that you are trying to create in your home. The best possible solution to this is to buy the cocktails ready-made. From a convenience point of view, this is second-to-none, and not something that you will want to miss out on.

Greater Choice

As is to be expected, the most-prominent benefit associated with purchasing cocktails online is the different flavours available to you. For those of you that are sick-and-tired of drinking the same alcoholic beverages week-in, week-out, you might be open to the idea of mixing things up so-to-speak. During your research, you could find anything from award-winning Cosmopolitans to exciting and intriguing Espresso Martinis. Realistically, these are cocktails that you will not be able to replicate without the necessary training, hence why purchasing them in their final form can save you a significant amount of hassle.

Breaking Down Our Options

In traditional circumstances, Alcotraz is considered to be one of the leading themed bars in London; as you may have already deduced from our name, we have drawn inspiration from the American prison of the same name. Unfortunately, the nightlife industry has been adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic; as such, we have sought to broaden our horizons. Now, we are pleased to be able to provide our customers with fantastic cocktails straight to their front doors – our costs are reasonable, meaning that you won’t have to worry about emptying your bank account. If you would like to learn a little more about the flavours that feature in our catalogue, you might like to complete and submit the enquiry form on our website.

During the covid-19 lockdowns, nightlife establishments that you may have enjoyed, such as Moonshine Saloon and Alcotraz, were no longer open, so rather than spending your weekends socialising with friends whilst enjoying a beverage or two, you are instead confined to your home. However, this did not necessarily mean that you could not enjoy yourself. We, for instance, took to offering a delivery service, so that you can sample our cocktails at home. Below, you can find examples of some of our most sought-after bottles.

Margarita

Whilst certainly not for the fainthearted, there is no denying that in the right environment, a margarita can go down a treat. What makes this markedly different from the other drinks on this list is the way that salt is incorporated. Traditionally, you will find this around the rim of the glass – the reason for this is that it is meant to enhance and accentuate the punch which stems from the tequila. Lime juice also has a major part of play, as this can help you to savour the drink over a longer period of time.

Espresso Martini

For many years, martinis have been one of the go-to cocktails for people on a night out. However, recently, mixologists have looked to tweak the formula, in order to make a completely different concoction. It is from this that the espresso martini came to be. The coffee liquor is easily the most noticeable deviation from the original recipe, and the reason for this is that it offers a smoky after-taste which many people have said is unlike anything else they have ever tried.

Old Fashioned

An old fashioned is a cocktail which certainly does not receive the level of praise or appreciation that it deserves – much of this is down to the fact that its primary ingredient is whisky, which is an acquired taste. Extremely simple to make, but hard to master, this is something that will leave you wanting more after a sip or two. The sugar and bitters which are used are meant to try and dull the intensity of the spirit, therefore allowing you to experiment with something that you may have previously been uninterested in.

Cosmopolitan

In case you didn’t already know, cosmopolitans are by far-and-away the most popular cocktail consumed within the UK. Rather strong, its two main components are vodka and triple sec, meaning that it has quite a bite to it. However, this is balanced out well by the abundance of cranberry juice which is used during the mixing phase. For those of you that would like a more authentic experience, after ordering we suggest serving with a small lime wedge, as the tartness is a welcome addition to the overall flavour.

Want our help?

If you are someone that has tried to follow cocktail recipes at home, but have been unable to replicate your favourite drinks, you may think that turning to a cocktail delivery service is the solution. By doing so, you eliminate the hassle and stress associated with having to mix cocktails by yourself. Instead, you can enjoy delicious pre-mixed bottles that will leave you in a world of pleasure. Should this be something that you would be interested in, enlisting the help of Alcotraz might be just the solution that you have been looking for.

The well-crafted cocktails that we have in our collection are first-class in terms of quality, and have proven themselves to be incredibly popular.
