Cocktail makers take business online as they continue to pursue dream of opening bar in Leamington

Late last year, Anna Martin and her partner Nate Thompson had applied to open a business called The Little Cocktail Bar in an office space on the first and second floors of 144A The Parade but were unable to get change of use planning permission from Warwick District Council.

The pair have not given up hope of opening a bar in the bar in the town but they have also been busy setting up their online enterprise.

Anna said: "When the Coronavirus pandemic started it severely slowed down our hunt for the perfect venue.

"During this time we decided to produce boxes for sale including all you need to create your own cocktails at home.

"So was born, The Little Cocktail Bar Delivery."

The business sells boxes containing ingredients, garnishes and step-by-step guides for two cocktails.

A party box of six cocktails and a gift box, which includes glassware and a shaker, are also available.

Customers can choose from a menu of eight cocktails, which goes live every Monday for delivery on the Friday and Saturday of the same week within a radius including Leamington, Kenilworth, Warwick, Southam, Stratford and other surrounding areas.

As of next month, the business will use a courier service in order for deliveries to be made further afield.

Anna said: "This isn't the end of The Little Cocktail Bar as a venue, but a way for people to enjoy some creative cocktails at home while we plan our next step."
