Redemption Bar Alcohol-free Cocktails with Benefits
Cocktail bars conjure up powerfully seductive images in our minds. For us women it goes something like this… We strut in wearing a sophisticated outfit in a waft of expensive perfume, slide onto a bar stool, and look a million dollars in the glamorous lighting. The handsome barman begins to mix our martini. A charming stranger starts to engage us in a sizzling conversation…
Before we get carried away, we should point out that we’ve drunk in some of the best bars in the world and, unfortunately, we have very rarely managed to pull off this particular scenario.
We love the energy these amazing spaces and parties can create, but why can’t you have that without the sugar and the alcohol? Many of us love a good knees-up, but why should socialising always be at the expense of your health?
We at Redemption have put together some of our best drinks ideas into this book so that you can create something truly magical with no toxins and temptations. On top of that, we’ve given you a taster of our favourite canapés so you can create some scrumptious and sophisticated nibbles to serve alongside the drinks.
Customers of Redemption will spot some favourites from our restaurant bars in here, like apple mockjito, fro-co-rita and flu fighters which have been on the menu from the early days. We’ve also designed some new drinks which we hope to put on the menu in the near future.
Spoil yourself without spoiling yourself - at home!
NAMASTE INDOORS CANDLE
It is a unique blend of soothing lavender, fragrant rosemary and uplifting bergamot and pettigrain. Together they create a truly fresh and clean fragrance for your home.
We’ve created it in partnership with Tussie Mussie who are a boutique high quality scented candle maker based in London. We believe that candles should be as natural as possible, which is why we only use natural wax and high quality essential oils and nothing else.
