Cocktail season is upon us and with citywide lock down in full swing, your favourite pubs and restaurants are a no-go.
But worry not, as two gelato-loving brothers have got you covered with their “Brozen Home” bottled cocktail range which launches on Friday (December 4).
With a choice of six tantalising flavours including Pineapple Express, House Old Fashioned or Elder Statesman, customers can sample the selection in the comfort of their home.
The cocktails will be bottled at 700ml, have 8-10 servings and priced from £34.95 to £43.95.
Customers can choose to have it delivered, or collect it in person from the Brozen Bar located on St Nicholas Street.
While cocktails are all about the experience, the brothers set out to ensure their home range does not fall short.
Co-owner Ben Edgerley said: "At Brozen Bar we prioritise the guest experience over everything else. Having cocktails pre-batched for speed is an essential part,so the Brozen Home is a faithful reproduction of that.
"All of our products are guided by the scientific approach so utilising techniques such as vacuum distillation really allows us to enhance the sensory experience of all the flavours we can produce.
"We want to make every drink the best possible version of itself, whether it is a tried-and-true classic or a completely experimental concoction."
Since Ben and his brother Joe launched Brozen Bar 2017, the business has grown through word of mouth.
The Cornwall natives said it was their passion for ice cream, science and technology which led to the discovery of using liquid nitrogen to make frozen cocktails.
Despite the business' success, the brothers have realised they are no exception to the tier 3 rules.
Ben said: "Covid has been a difficult period for the entire hospitality sector, and we had to make some changes to allow social distancing.
"Fortunately we’ve benefitted from the decision to close the roads in the Old Town, and we’ve enjoyed phenomenal support from our guests.
"During the second lockdown, we’ve invested in some lab-grade equipment that has allowed our team more freedom than before to develop new flavours and recipes.
"We view the safety of our guests above all other considerations so we fully support the measures in place."
The brothers acknowledge the challenges ahead but are keen to secure the future of the business.
Ben said: "We’ve been investing a lot of time and resources into R+D and are hugely excited to share that with our guests when we are able to reopen."
For now, their team will continue to work on a brand-new cocktail menu that will feature the bitters, tinctures and liqueurs.
