As we enter lockdown 2.0, we reckon that by now you’ve made the pilgrimage to the back of the kitchen cupboards to dig out that shiny cocktail kit your aunt Belinda gifted you three Christmases ago. You’ve shaken, you’ve stirred, you’ve warily sipped on raw egg, and yet somehow it just doesn’t taste quite the same. Mancunians, it’s time to lay down your tools (or muddling spoons) and call the experts. Luckily your fave bars are just a few taps away, delivering their finest boozy concoctions directly to your door (with not a smidge of salmonella in sight).
