Pernod Ricard UK is supporting independent and local bars by collaborating with iconic East London bar, Three Sheets, to bottle and deliver seven exclusive cocktails. The cocktails have been created by seven fellow London cocktail bars and contain either Beefeater, Jameson or Havana Club as the key ingredient.
Three Sheets, ranked No.16 in the World’s 50 Best Bars Awards 2019, will bottle and deliver the drinks, giving consumers the chance to experience on-trade-quality cocktails whilst lockdown and social distancing measures continue. With just a few simple clicks, the premium, bespoke cocktails will be delivered nationwide, saving any fuss of creating cocktails at home. The full range of drinks can be found by visiting Three Sheets’ online shop, www.shopcuvee.com, with Single Serving 200ml Bottles - £7 and Double Serving 200ml Bottles - £11.
Bars such as Homeboy in Islington, the long-established Hawksmoor, Hackney’s Callooh Callay and fellow Top 50 resident, Coupette, will be submitting the exact recipes of their signature cocktails for Three Sheets to recreate, using high quality ingredients not found in the average kitchen. Aimed at the more discerning drinker, the carefully crafted cocktails provide the perfect solution for those missing the buzz of their favourite bar and who want to turn their living room into a cocktail lounge during lockdown.
James Bremner, On-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK, commented: “During such a tough time for the hospitality industry, we wanted to do something to support our brilliant trade partners - and as such are thrilled to be collaborating with Three Sheets to support independent, local bars across the capital.
“Three Sheets has made the process of ordering the cocktails as easy as possible, giving everyone who orders the chance to experiment with exciting new flavours and recipes they wouldn't normally have in the cupboard at home. With just a few taps of your screen you will have freshly made, bespoke, high quality cocktails at your doorstep. Sounds like a great way to start the weekend to me.”
