Planning the full bank holiday drinks run? Our guide to what to drink on a bank holiday covers what to buy, how much and how to keep it all cold.
Bank Holiday Beers
The multipack line-up is built for a long weekend. Budweiser 10x440ml is the crowd-safe pick. Cruzcampo 12x330ml brings a crisp Spanish lager for anyone who wants something with a bit more character. 1664 Bière 10x440ml adds a smooth French option. Sol Lager 12x330ml is light, lime-friendly and made for drinking outside. And Budvar 8x500ml is the premium choice for anyone who takes their lager seriously.
New In Store: Cocktails in a Jar and Party Shots
The biggest new arrival this month is Jar Tails, a range of ready-to-drink cocktails in 120ml jars at 2 for £6. Four flavours: Espresso Martini, Amaretto Sour, Pina Colada and Pornstar Martini. Crack the lid, pour over ice, done. They are a when-it’s-gone-it’s-gone line, so grab them while they last.
For pre-drinks and party starters, 99 Apple Shot and 99 Strawberry Shot 50ml at 95p each are new, fun and frankly impossible to argue with at that price.
Also worth spotting: Carthy’s Country Cream 70cl at £7.99, a smooth Irish cream liqueur that works over ice, in coffee or as a dessert pour.
Smirnoff Flavoured Vodkas: Three Ways to Mix
Three bottles, endless summer serves. Smirnoff Miami Peach, Smirnoff Raspberry Crush and Smirnoff Mango & Passionfruit, all available in 70cl, are built for long drinks with lemonade, soda or tonic over plenty of ice. No recipe needed, just pour and top.
Bank Holiday Spirits: 35cl Trio
Building a drinks table on a budget? Fireball 35cl, Southern Comfort 35cl and Tequila Rose 35cl give you three crowd-pleasers ready for shots, mixers or sipping over ice. Fireball and cola, Southern Comfort and lemonade, Tequila Rose over crushed ice. Three bottles, the whole party covered.
RTDs for Sharing
WKD Blue 10x330ml and WKD Mixed 10x330ml are the easy picks for groups. Chuck them in a cool box, add ice, let everyone help themselves. No prep, no fuss.
Cocktail of the Month: Flora Dora
This month’s cocktail is the Flora Dora. Greenall’s Wild Berry Gin built over ice with lime, raspberry syrup and ginger beer, finished with fresh berries and mint. No shaker, no straining, ready in two minutes. It is fruity, fizzy, spiced and the perfect way to close out the summer.
