If like BarChick you're bored of rocking up to your pal's dinner party with a bottle of sub-par Savvy B, we've found a place that's gonna really up your bottle bringing game. You're gonna need to get yourself familiar with the South East London rail network for this one; The Bottle Bar & Shop in Catford is a bit of a diamond in these parts.  It's run by man & wife duo, Xhulio & Natalie, who together with their killer team infuse, mix, create, prepare & bottle up epicly crafted cocktails, all in house. There's no bells and whistles. No fancy sh*t.  Just bottles filled with ace cocktails. And we love it.

As it's a bar and shop hybrid, you can drink in or take away your bottles of choice. You'll find BarChick on one of the candle lit tables in the corner sippin' on a Remedy: the solution to a week of adulting. It's all sweet with its blend of Fernet-Branca, brandy, orange liqueur, bitters & honey. The Twisted Old Fashioned is a serindipitious creation; a mixing mix-up which saw a Maple Old Fashioned & a Manhattan concieve this absolute champ of the menu; Bourbon, vermouth, bitters & maple syrup all infused with orange zest. 

If you don't have time to sit and sip, pick a bottle and take it home. The Dirty Vodka Martini is infused with olives so it's just gonna keep getting dirtier over time (growing old disgracefully is our vibe) so pop it on your shelf and wait for the prime oportunity to serve it ice cold. Or if you don't wanna faff around with making your own Bloody Mary's when you're craving that weekend Hair of the Dog,  grab a bottle of theirs made with their own Horseradish & Wasabi infused vodka. Spicy!
