A plush bar in Edinburgh is offering free mocktails for food bank donations as part of an ongoing social enterprise.
The Alchemist has teamed up with a longtime brand partner, Foodinate to gift customers a cocktail in exchange for food to raise awareness of rising food poverty.

The Swap Shop initiative is now in its third year and will be in a bid to raise items for 14 food banks across the UK. Launched in 2019, the brand collected 3,000 donations in its first year.
In Edinburgh, guests can bring non-perishable items to either store from June 13 to take part in the project and all donations go to Fresh Start.
The Alchemist has been partnered with Foodinate since May 2018 and provides hot and nourishing meals for those in need in local communities when guests order any menu items marked with the Foodinate fork logo.
To date, they have provided just over 155,000 meals for the social enterprise.
Every guest donating a non-perishable food item will receive the Shade Switcher mocktail, although larger donations are welcomed.
