The Four Sisters
We're not sure there are any prizes for most elegantly presented bottled cocktails, but if there was, The Four Sisters would win. 'Specially as they've knocked up these cute designs in a matter of weeks to be delivered on Deliveroo around Highbury & Islington. But don't get too distracted by the bottles; it's the liquid inside that really matters. Choose from their Tea Old Fashioned, Fig Palmetto, Cafe au Lait or our personal fave: the Chamomile Gimlet which is out-of-this-world delicious.
Bar Tincture
This relatively new bar has already made BIG waves in the industry, so if you haven't tried their epic drinks yet, now's your chance. They've launched delivery of their drinks (both alc & non-alc) in tandem with their new Spring cocktail menu (if you can't enjoy the season outside, may as well enjoy it in, right?) If you live within 6km of the bar, your serves will be delivered by a bartender on a bike... if you're a little further out, slide into their DM's and they'll try and arrange a special delivery for ya.

HAWKSMOOR AT HOME
Missing you Full Fat Old Fashioned? Never fear now you can get sipping with Hawksmoor At Home.

SWIFT
The days of 'going for a swift one' might be on pause, but who wants pints in the pub when you can get cocktails delivered from one of London's most kickass bars?! Head over to Speakeasyathome and get choosing between cocktails such as the Swift Bajan Rum, classic Negroni and Taverna (a refreshing blend of sherry, vermouth and quinquina.) Drinks are either delivered in a bottle or a handy pouch, and much like their split-level bar you can go for something bright & fresh or dark & sexy. Not only that, but speakeasyathome.com also have cocktail offerings from Nightjar & Oriole. So enjoying a night with the world's best bars couldn't be easier...

THE CONNAUGHT
It's just been named Best Bar in the World & that Martini trolley is so close we can almost hear its wheels... but we can't actually visit. Cruel, cruel world. However, we're not letting that stop us enjoy one of the most epic Martinis ever. Head to Supperlondon.com where you can order cocktails for two. Fancy practising that long pour in your lounge? We recommend putting down newspaper first...
Order from supperlondon here. Martini for 2 £37
THE PROOFING ROOM
Forget the pudding, the proof of how popular the delivery service was from these guys is in the cocktails. And they smashed it first time round, so we're pleased as punch that they've released a new collection of cocktails for round 2. This new menu is inspired by the simplicity of the classic highball & includes seasonal serves like the Peach & Chestnut (bourbon, chestnut, peach & ginger) alongside more exotic tipples like Tequila Habanero – a tropical mix of tequila, coconut rum, habanero, caraway & orange. Cos zero contact cocktails certainly doesn't mean zero creativity.
Bottled Cocktail delivery will launch Monday 9th November. Orders can be placed at theproofingroom.co.uk
CAHOOTS
Forget bog roll & paracetamol, the real thing we were scared of running out of during lockdown was good quality booze. Cahoots is here to ensure that fear never has to surface again, with their Emergency Cocktail Rations. They're bringing the spirit of the 40s to you with hooch-filled pouches filled with two servings of their finest cocktails, from the Scoundrels’ Old Fashioned to the espresso-based Engine Fuel. In the war they had to make do and mend with cabbage soup - we're gonna get crunk on Cahoots finest.
