The Cocktail Trading Co. Come on down!
(750)

CTC was formed in 2014 by lifelong bartenders and pals, and nothing's changed – the plan was always to take the best drinks we could do and throw 'em at happy people in the most welcoming atmosphere we could muster.

Sorry everyone, we realised that we completely neglected to say that yesterday was Positive Thinking Day, because we were instead hosting an utterly massive party to celebrate pickles.

Yep, said what we said.

So anyway, here’s a delicious bev, and a not-hugely-subtle gag about how unbearable Western self-help implementation of legitimately beautiful Japanese life philosophies can be, and the laughable habit we have of talking about it, rather than doing it.

Self-care, sweeties xoxo

(FYI we also missed national Care Bear day, celebrated internationally on 9th September)

Ikigai Driveby
4 parts Suntory Toki Whisky Japanese Whisky
1 part salted bergamot syrup
1 dash cacao tincture

You read it right, Cocktail Trading Co is throwing a Pickle Party on Sunday 13th - the all-star Pickle-Daiq returns with an incredible supporting cast of Pickle Martinis and the legendary blended brine Picklebacks - ludicrous pickle menu goes live at 5pm!

“But wait” we hear you cry, “What if we want more than just delicious drinks, charming atmosphere and incredible company?” Reasonable.

Well how’s about needlessly capitalised Pickle Merch, both for sale and available to win through our patented' BYO Brine challenging - running 7-10pm.

Come proudly bearing your own, be it from home, or a favoured establishment (with permission), and have it scored by our community judge panel against a set of exacting criteria through rigorous testing!

And If all that seems a bit much, well just show up, cause havoc with squishy pickles and have a good time. Same as any Sunday.

Colours of Pride X Schweppes – where bars insist on phrasing collaborations like they’re a Pitbull song. 🤍

The hospo world is built on community and creating spaces where everyone that walks through the door can feel welcome and at home, so we’ve joined forces with the gorgeous bubbly f***s at to celebrate the people who make that community so exquisitely diverse — bringing together 12 LGBTQIA+ bartenders from 12 bars across London.

Using the Pride flag colour wheel and a Schweppes expression, each bartender has knocked up a drink that speaks to them. Our own .goose has created ‘Divergence Point’, with £1 of every drink sold being donated to .

Divergence Point
Fruity, zesty, floral.


Honeydew Cordial
Cherry Blossom
Schweppes Slimline Tonic

Available from June 22nd to July 5th. Happy Pride.

Ideally, we would post this in June so we could post about our new Carbonite Martini and simultaneously crush a Father’s Day post, but you can’t have it all. Anyway, Happy Star Wars Day - May the fourth be with you, etc.

Carbonite Martini
Stronger than a rancor and colder than Han in Episodes 2–3 (...and 8–9)

4 parts frozen Vodka
1 part vermouth, from a galaxy far away (Europe)
Optional drops ‘dark side tincture’

Next Sunday: some proper sound bastards (namely , & ) are gonna do some proper delicious and loveable stuff in our gaff. Come, or live a life of regret.

We arrive at the end of the Spring Break calendar, which, if you’re in the UK, means there’s a high percentage chance you’ve just got back from Butlin’s with the kids, so have a renewed sense of what silence means and relief that at every turn there isn’t a Shetland pony ride that cost a grand. If you’re in the UNITED STATES, however, like this drink is relevant to, then you still have 4 dollar picante dripping from your eyeballs and PETA on your back for riding that Dolphin. Worth it.

Well, someone had to bring the Spring Break to Shoreditch, and I think the time for words is over, now just pictures and emotions - you’re welcome, no we’re not sorry, and happy Sunday.

Oh also,

Miami Wallbanger
Tropical, slushie, unapologetic
3 parts Vodka
1 wee bottle strawberry marg
1 part Galliano Autentico
