When it comes to celebrating, we can’t think of anything better than heading down to Manchester’s very own slice of Berlin, The Honey Trap Club to sip on their re-imagined retro classics.
Some of our favourites are the Rondez-Vous at Charlie’s (£9) which shakes Sipsmiths London Dry with a zesty pomegranate reduction, lemon drizzle, sugar and an egg white foam.
Honey, Just Being Coy (£9) is another which sees a blend of the vanilla-based tequila, Ocho Reposado with sweet vermouth and a splodge of honey.
Te-Quil-A Zombie (£8.50) an apocalypse of Ocho Rum and Triple Sec, mango, pineapple and orange juice, squeeze of lime and a dash of almond syrup which is as sweet and delicious as you can imagine.
Violette Framboise (£8.50) is the pink drink of summer 2019, combining Manchester Raspberry Gin, Crème de Violette, lemon, sugar and a dash of cherry bitters. This one has to be my top pick every time.
Although not open on the real World Cocktail Day (13th May), The Honey Trap Club boasts 3 club nights. Start your weekend early at the chilled Lounge Thursdays soundtracked with smooth soul tunes or Zig Zag Saturdays with a mixtape party, including everything from Toto to Cardi B.
Grab yourself a bargain and head down for happy hour 5-9pm Thursday - Saturday; 2 for £10 Disco cocktails, £3 Berliner and £3 spirit mixers.
