Been a long week? Throwing a party? Putting together an impromptu picnic? Having friends round at short notice? Or got something to celebrate? When only a classy cocktail will do, but you haven’t got the time, inclination or ingredients to muddle, mix and shake then you need a Niche Cocktails can (or three!) in the fridge.

The clever folk behind this Suffolk-based brand are true masters of mixology and have managed to squeeze all the flavour and elegance of a top London bar cocktail into the humble aluminium can. Although you can’t exactly call their cans humble, with their very Instagrammable labels, including a logo inspired by the stunning sunrises seen over the Suffolk coast.

There are currently 8 flavours in the the handcrafted Niche Cocktails range, including Matcha Mojito, Raspberry Cosmo, Pink Grapefruit Gin Fizz, Mocha Martini, Brazilian Lime Margarita, Wild Strawberry Daiquiri, Blackberry Gin Bramble and Lemon & Elderflower Gin Fizz. Plus, Niche Cocktails are the very first UK company to produce short canned cocktails – a Blood Orange Old Fashioned and a Manuka Honey Whiskey Sour – for anyone who likes a strong cocktail served on the rocks in a lowball.

You can buy the cocktails in a range of boxes from just three cans (good to have in the fridge for a post-work treat), a set of six (ideal for a picnic), a 12 pack (the perfect present) and a 24 can case (best for a party, although we’re not judging if it’s just for you!). Finding it hard to pick just one flavour? You can mix and match to your heart’s content with their brilliant Build A Box service that means you can try them all and find your niche.

What we love the most about this brand though is that quality, impeccable taste, time and care goes into the selection and mixing. All the cocktails are made from meticulously selected ingredients at the Suffolk base and the team are constantly innovating and inventing to find the next big cocktail combination.

So, if you’re as busy as us you’ll really appreciate the faff-free beauty of these premium drinks. You can say “anyone fancy a drink?”, and go from opening the can to perfectly poured cocktail in 30 seconds. Just add a slice and ice (with suggestions for the perfect garnish on the website) and your guests will think you’ve been training as a mixologist in your spare time. Cheers!
